How many posts should be promotional?

Most of the feed should be reach and identity content; funnel posts work best when they are a minority and the profile itself does the converting.

How long before I judge a content direction?

Give a coherent direction several weeks of consistent posting before concluding it does not work.

AI Influencer Content Strategy: What to Post and Why

An AI influencer content strategy assigns each post a job: reach posts attract new viewers, identity posts build attachment to the persona, funnel posts drive profile visits, and retention posts keep existing subscribers. A batch that contains only one type will underperform regardless of image quality.

The four post types

Type	Job	Signal to watch
Reach	Get in front of non-followers	Views from non-followers, watch-through
Identity	Make the persona feel like a person	Saves, comments, follows
Funnel	Move viewers to the profile and link	Profile visits, link clicks
Retention	Keep paying fans engaged	Churn rate, message replies

Niche coherence

A recommendation algorithm needs to learn who to show the account to. Mixed, unrelated content slows that learning. Keep the aesthetic, setting and content type coherent for at least several weeks before judging performance.

Testing hooks properly

Change one variable at a time - hook line, opening frame, or audio.
Give each variant enough posts to distinguish signal from noise.
Record results in one sheet; memory is not a dataset.
Rebuild the next batch around the winning pattern, then test the next variable.

Key takeaways

Every post should have an assigned job.
Coherence helps the algorithm categorise the account.
Test one variable at a time and write results down.
