Ideal Customer Profile

Define who you're creating content for. Every piece of short-form and long-form content should hook the attention of this person.

4 Types of Short-Form Hooks

Strange / Novel

Something they've never heard before. Counterintuitive takes, surprising stats, contrarian views that make them stop scrolling.

Desirable Outcomes

Paint a picture of what's possible. Results, transformations, the "after" state. Show them the prize they want.

Free Value

Teach something useful right now. Quick frameworks, tips, how-tos. They get value, you get credibility.

Familiar Topics

Things they already care about and search for. Industry trends, common pain points, shared experiences. Meets them where they are.

Long-Form Content Inventory

Scaling Accelerators

Boost Top Content

Take your highest-performing short-form posts and put ad spend behind them. Proven content + paid reach = more eyeballs on what already works.

Direct Messages

Carefully selected individuals who would enjoy your long-form content or should fill in a signal-of-interest page. Personal and targeted.

Joint Ventures

Collaborate with others who share your audience but have a non-competitive offer. Co-host webinars, cross-promote, or sponsor each other's content.
