If Kien had to start from zero again, this is the plan: three pillars, double down on what wins, test relentlessly with trial reels, and never run out of footage. Tap through it.
For the first 30 to 90 days, judge everything by views. Views tell you if the content works. Followers are a lagging result of that.
Pick three pillars and post once a day for 30 days, ten per pillar. It's a test batch, not a masterpiece. Pick a niche.
After 30 days, one topic and format will outperform. Don't move on, milk it. Tap each lever to see what to change while keeping the winning idea.
Trial reels only show to non-followers, so it's clean testing with zero risk to your feed.
Run one idea as three versions with three different hooks. Let the audience vote with their attention, then keep the winner.
Hit remix on last month's best post and toggle trial reel on. Proven content, shown fresh to a whole new non-follower audience.
Volume tip: 3 posts a day isn't 3 shoots, it's one idea in three edits.
The biggest time-saver there is. It doesn't need to be cinematic, just you, living your day. Tap a set.
The 83M-view video was exactly this: B-roll of himself, a caption, a trending sound. No shoot day required.
Every part of this system, plus the six visual hooks and a checkable B-roll shot list, in one interactive read.
