Growth Milestones
The exact playbook — what to do at each follower count
First Results Review + Linktree Upgrade
Pre-Launch: ManyChat + Signature Series + Creator Sprint
Do this BEFORE your first video goes live
1. Create Linktree at linktr.ee/gutsbymae. Connect ManyChat to Instagram + TikTok NOW — don't wait for followers. Every post from Day 1 must end with 'Comment GUT below' → ManyChat auto-sends a gut health resource. Posts with DM automation consistently outperform posts without it — this is the single biggest lever. 2. Set Mae's Signature Series name: every video is 'Day X of Mae's Gut Files'. This is a subtle follow-CTA — viewers follow to see Day X+1. 3. Creator Sprint: post 5-7x per week for 30 days. The algorithm learns your content in the first 30 days. Post daily for a sprint, then drop to maintenance (3x/week).
First Results Review + Linktree Upgrade
Review what's working, double down, upgrade setup
Review ManyChat analytics: which keyword got the most comments? Which post drove the most DM triggers? Double down on that style. Upgrade Linktree to Pro for analytics. Add a second ManyChat keyword if volume warrants it. Check which hook type (furious, conspiratorial, secret-whisper) gets the highest watch time in your analytics graph — if the graph drops early, the hook needs work.
