- Week 1: Education and trust building.
- Week 2: Product value and use cases.
- Week 3: Social proof and outcomes.
- Week 4: Community questions and feedback.
Content quality checklist
Low-value content usually lacks clarity, depth, or original perspective. Use this checklist to improve every post before you publish.
- Does the post solve a real problem for a specific audience?
- Is there a clear takeaway or next step?
- Is the content backed by experience, data, or examples?
- Is the title or hook specific enough to set expectations?
Brand voice in 5 sentences
A short brand voice brief keeps content consistent across teammates and tools. Write five sentences that describe how you speak, what you avoid, and how you help people.
- We write with clarity, not hype.
- We explain in plain language and avoid jargon.
- We share proof and concrete examples.
- We ask thoughtful questions to invite responses.
- We never publish content we would not stand behind.
