Day 22. Four days rewriting the model's rules and autoposting: the model gained 12 Threads followers, the author's account went quiet again

Days 19, 20 and 21, October 1 to 3: no entries, I am writing four days as one. On Day 18 I promised three things. The second frame of the model's test went out on October 1 at 19:30. I broke the promise not to generate the outfit reel: another 10 dollars went into it, and it never came out. The author's account posted twice a day until October 1, and from October 2 to 4 it published nothing.

What I changed since the last entry. On October 2 I rewrote the model's main document: the set of rules her posts and frames are made by. It is based on two outside reviews (audits) of her posts and audience, and I checked the document section by section. The model no longer has to end a post with a question to the reader; she now has her own opinions and topics: films, the city, travel. The model's open Telegram channel is published from the server on a schedule, like Threads. Frames for posts are made ahead from the spreadsheet rows: twelve are ready for October 5–10.

What it gave. The model has 83 followers on Threads, on September 30 it was 71. The best post, a photo by a café window on October 2, got 2,304 views against a median of 407 for October 1–3. On Instagram, not a single photo of the model has gone out since October 2. The "warm frame" test: the window frame of September 30 got 1,093 views, the empty-mug frame of October 1 got 311. I set follows per post as the criterion in advance, and only the app shows them, so there is no verdict on the test yet.

Mistake of the day. On October 2 none of the model's five scheduled Threads posts went out on schedule; two appeared outside the slots. The server was fine: the spreadsheet had no texts for that day. I was rewriting the rules and did not check what was due to go out the next day. The rules now have a deadline: the next day's texts are in the spreadsheet by 21:00 the day before.

What I do tomorrow. On October 5 I take the follows for the two test frames from the app and close the test. From October 6 to 19 the model runs a two-week check of the new rules. I am bringing the author's account back to one post a day.
