Day 32. Nine days without entries: the model left the Instagram feed for Reels and carousels, she got a paid channel called «closer», and the post plan moved from Google Sheets to my own dashboard
Days 24–31, October 6 to 13: no entries. I'm writing nine days as one entry. On Day 23 I promised to bring the model back to Instagram with two photos a day. I brought her back on October 6, and on October 10 I dropped feed photos, so the six missed frames never went out. The reason is below.
What I changed since the last entry. On October 10, after an audit of September 22 to October 10, I stopped putting the model's photos in the Instagram feed: 18 photos got between 2 and 22 views and zero follows. Instead: Reels (short vertical videos) and carousels (several frames of one scene in a post). On October 14 the post plan moved from Google Sheets to my own dashboard on the server: posts, frames, videos and voice messages in one place, editable from a phone. The same day the model opened a private Telegram channel, «Trisha · closer», for 390 ₽ a month: frames more revealing than on the open networks, but no nudity. They are made by a different neural network, Seedream, about 4 ₽ per frame. In the evening the model's first voice messages went out: at 21:00 in the open channel and at 21:42 in «closer». The voice is also a neural network, about 12 ₽ per message.
What it gave. The model has 92 followers on Threads, up from 84 on October 5, and 4 on Instagram. The author's account has 20 followers on Threads and 10 on Instagram. The author's site gets 10 to 20 real visitors a day, with no sign-ups since September 10. Nobody subscribed to «closer» on the first evening: 0 ₽. The link to the model's open Telegram is now in her Instagram and Threads bios, and the pinned post in Telegram leads to «closer».
Mistake of the day. On October 13 the author's carousel on Threads did not go out: the text was 601 characters with a Threads limit of 500. I shortened the text and set a retry, but the sync script reset the status to «error» every 15 minutes, so the retry never ran. I found it on the morning of the 14th; the carousel went out at 12:00, a day late. Now the script no longer overwrites «retry».
Nine days in total. Spent October 6 to 14: 865 ₽ (10 dollars on generations); about 18,700 ₽ since September 17. Author's hours: 22.5, two and a half a day. Earned: 0 ₽. The course costs 4,990 ₽, «closer» 390 ₽ a month.
What I do tomorrow. I watch whether people come through the bio link on Instagram and Threads to the model's Telegram and on to «closer». In «closer», from October 15, a voice message every evening at 23:00.
