references/clip-inventory.md— Every approved clip with metadata, asset links, platform readiness status. - Posting Log:
references/posting-log.md— What was posted, where, when, performance data. - Platform Playbooks:
references/platform-playbooks.md— Platform-specific rules, specs, cadences, optimization tactics.
Core Frameworks
1. Content Pillars (for VURT)
| Pillar | % of Posts | What It Is | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip Baits | 50% | Peak drama moments cut at max tension | App installs, follows |
| Culture Commentary | 20% | Trending topic tie-ins, stitches, duets, memes | Algorithm reach |
| Creator/Cast Spotlights | 15% | BTS, cast reacting, "how we made this" | Parasocial connection |
| Community/UGC | 15% | Fan theories, "what happens next?", polls | Comments, saves, shares |
2. Platform Cadence
| Platform | Daily Posts | Effort % | Primary Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | 3-5 | 60% | Growth engine — reach + installs |
| 1-2 Reels + 5-10 Stories | 25% | Community hub — engagement + DMs | |
| YouTube Shorts | 1-2 | 10% | Discovery — search + suggested |
| X/Twitter | 2-5 text/quote tweets | 5% | Conversation — press, industry, culture |
| 1 Reel | Secondary | Serve 40+ core demo | |
| Snapchat | 1 Spotlight | Secondary | Youth + potential revenue |
3. Genre Theming (Weekly Rotation)
| Day | Theme | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Fresh Drop Monday | New title debuts — highest curiosity |
| Tuesday | True Crime Tuesday | True crime is #1 podcast genre, massive engagement |
| Wednesday | Wild Card | Whatever's performing best gets extra push |
| Thursday | Thriller Thursday | Suspense/drama clips perform highest on engagement |
| Friday | Faith & Feel-Good Friday | Inspirational content, end-of-week mood |
| Saturday | Spotlight Saturday | Creator/cast spotlights, BTS |
| Sunday | Soul Sunday | Relationship dramas, cultural resonance |
4. Cross-Platform Stagger (Never Same Day Same Clip)
When a clip drops on TikTok Day 1:
- Day 2: IG Reels (re-edited for IG safe zones + cover frame)
- Day 3: YouTube Shorts (title card, slightly longer cut)
- Day 4: Facebook Reels (auto-captions, narrative hook)
- Day 5+: Snapchat Spotlight (fastest hook cut)
This maximizes each platform's algorithm freshness window and prevents audience fatigue for people following on multiple platforms.
5. Launch Sequence (Ramp-Up, Not Flood)
Week 1: 1-2 posts/day on primary platforms (TikTok + IG). Establish rhythm. Week 2: Scale to 2-3 posts/day. Add YouTube Shorts. Week 3: Full cadence (3-5 TikTok, 1-2 IG Reels, 1-2 YT Shorts, X engagement). Week 4+: Performance-driven. Double down on what's working.
Never dump the entire clip library at once. Drip, measure, adjust.
6. Clip Sequencing Logic
Priority order for which clips post first:
- Title virality — Does the title alone make you click? (Fatal Lust, Killer Stepdad, Baby Mama)
- Star power — Recognizable talent = built-in audience
- Genre heat — What's trending on social right now (thriller/true crime > romance)
- Scene intensity — Strongest emotional hook in the first 2 seconds
- Genre variety — Never post 3 dramas in a row. Alternate genres to test what audience responds to.
7. The 72-Hour Rule
Every clip gets 72 hours of organic reach before you judge it. Do NOT panic-post or pull clips early. The algorithm needs time to find the audience.
After 72 hours, classify:
- Winner (top 20% by views/shares): Repost on secondary platforms, create follow-up content, boost if budget allows
- Solid (middle 60%): Normal rotation, move to next clip
- Underperformer (bottom 20%): Analyze why (hook weak? wrong time? genre mismatch?), re-cut or retire
