A full-month plan for educational-first social content across X, TikTok and YouTube. Content is educational (Reels-style, "how it works" and "how to trade better"), timed to warm each week of the Gold Rush campaign without being promotional. Cadence: ~1 primary educational post per day, one long-form YouTube video per week, repurposed into ~5 Shorts/Reels/clips.
◆ DRAFT FOR NICK'S REVIEW — nothing scheduled or posted; awaiting green lightEvery post teaches something — no promo copy, no discount codes, no offer terms. Value builds trust and warms the audience ahead of each campaign week.
X, TikTok, YouTube. Instagram is on hold until access is confirmed — the plan runs without it and slots it in later with no rework.
~1 primary educational piece per day, plus one long-form YouTube video per week cut down into ~5 Shorts / Reels / X clips.
Each week's long-form video is the anchor. Its best 3–5 moments become vertical Shorts and Reels; its core lesson becomes an X thread. One shoot, a week of posts.
Weekly theme sits alongside the public Gold Rush beat (Claim / Strike / Prospector / Motherlode / Last Strike) so the education primes the offer — but the education stands on its own.
Goal is uninterrupted posting across the month to compound watch time — the early YouTube video already showed rising retention.
The basics done properly — what a pip is, order types, lot sizing, reading a chart. Beginner-safe, high-reach.
Stop placement, R-multiples, risk-per-trade, daily loss limits. The pillar that keeps traders in the game.
Discipline, revenge trading, patience, process over outcome. High-share emotional content.
How a funded/eval account actually works — drawdown, targets, minimum days — taught neutrally. Directly relevant to the campaign, zero sell.
Support/resistance, trend, session timing, simple setups. Practical, screen-recorded lessons.
The difference explained simply — instruments, sizing, when to use which. Ties to the two account types on offer.
