Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Reel #0's 3062 likes dwarfs the feed average by 60x, proving instructor contrasts like Roger vs influencers unlock virality in CPA prep. Post 24's 2514 likes on chic CPA humor shows memes humanize the grind better than dry tips. Yet 2.3 posts/week starves growth; this niche demands consistency to retain 12k followers. Pillars balance strategies at 30% with promotions at 25%, but success stories and humor amplify community. Biggest leak: underused reels, which outperform carousels 10x on likes. Double down here while fixing cadence to hit benchmark.
