## Platform Playbooks

### Twitter/X

**Thread Formula (for technical/startup audience):**

```
Tweet 1 (Hook): 
"I [achieved specific result] in [timeframe]. Here's the exact playbook: 🧵"

Tweet 2-7 (Value):
Each tweet = one tactical insight with specific number

Tweet 8 (CTA):
"If this was useful, [follow/RT/check out link]"
```

**Engagement Rules:**
- Post 2-4x/day (1 thread/week, rest are single tweets)
- Reply to 10+ tweets in your niche daily
- Best times: 8-10am EST (Mon-Thu)
- Use 1 image/chart per thread — increases engagement 2x
- Quote-tweet industry news with your take

**What Works for Dev Tools:**
- Before/after demos (GIF or screenshot)
- "I replaced [popular tool] with [my tool]. Here's what happened"
- Open source metrics threads (stars, contributors, PRs)
- Build-in-public updates with real numbers

### LinkedIn

**Post Formula:**

```
[Hook line — problem or controversial take]

[Blank line]

[3-5 short paragraphs with line breaks between each]

[Specific numbers or case study]

[Question to drive comments]

[3-5 relevant hashtags]
```

**LinkedIn-specific:**
- 1-2 posts/day, morning and afternoon
- First comment adds link (algorithm doesn't suppress)
- Carousel posts get 3x reach vs text
- Personal stories > corporate announcements
- Comment on 5+ posts before publishing yours

### Reddit

**Karma Building Strategy (pre-launch):**

```
Week 1-4: 
- Join 5-10 relevant subreddits
- Comment helpfully 3-5x/day
- Answer questions in r/SaaS, r/startups, r/webdev
- Never promote anything yet
- Goal: 500+ karma

Week 5+:
- Share genuine value posts (how we built X)
- Never direct-link to your product in post
- Let comments ask "what tool did you use?"
- Or add tool mention naturally in narrative
```

**Subreddit Targeting:**
| Subreddit | Best Content Type | Rules |
|-----------|-------------------|-------|
| r/SaaS | Growth stories, metrics | No self-promo in title |
| r/startups | Lessons learned | Must be educational |
| r/webdev | Technical tutorials | Code examples required |
| r/Entrepreneur | Business tactics | Story format works |
| r/sideproject | Launch stories | Direct product posts OK |

### HackerNews

**Submission Best Practices:**

```
Title: [Descriptive, no hype] — Show HN: [what it does]
Time: Tuesday-Thursday, 8-11am EST
```

**What gets upvoted:**
- Technical depth (how we built it, not just what)
- Honest metrics (including failures)
- Novel approach to known problem
- Open source announcements with substance

**What gets flagged/ignored:**
- Marketing language ("revolutionary", "disruptive")
- Shallow content (listicles, top 10s)
- Obvious self-promotion without substance
- Paywalled content

### Product Hunt

- See [gingiris-launch](https://clawhub.ai/skills/gingiris-launch) for full PH playbook
- Key: Teaser content 2 weeks before, community engagement 4 weeks before

## Content Calendar Template

| Day | Twitter | LinkedIn | Reddit | Notes |
|-----|---------|----------|--------|-------|

| Wed | Value tweet | Carousel | Comment 5x | Mid-week push |
| Thu | Quote-tweet + take | Story post | Comment 5x | Community day |

## Content Repurposing Flow

```

  → Twitter Thread (key insights)
  → LinkedIn Post (professional angle)
  → Reddit Post (community angle, no promo)
  → Dev.to (cross-post with canonical)
  → YouTube/Loom (video walkthrough)
