8-week plan

How to use this The follower column is weather. The pass/fail column is law. If you fail a week, repeat it. Do not skip ahead because the badge moved.

Eight weeks at 45–60 minutes is the default. If you have 2–3 hours, compress weeks 1–4 into two. If you miss five days, do not catch up with 80 empty replies. Restart the week.

WkWeatherPass / fail (law)
10–40Fail if fewer than 8 authors reply back
240–90Fail if profile visits are unreadable
390–160Name 10 repeat humans or repeat the week
4160–250Say which job produced follows
5250–380If under 220, replies are the bottleneck
6380–550One peer conversation visible in public
7550–780Ride one live wave with an add, or log why you skipped
8780–1,000Do not invent a new format. Count unprompted repliers.

Week 1 in detail

Chapter 3 first, then Chapter 4. No manifesto. Friday’s scoreboard can be “I wrote the list and shipped 12 standalone replies.” That is a legal scoreboard.

If you stall

  1. Check Column A. Dead rooms cannot be optimized.
  2. Re-read three replies out loud. Cheerleading is obvious when spoken.
  3. Re-run the five-second profile test.
  4. Repeat the failed week. Do not add a new tool.

Missed the week by 30% or moreNot a posting problemAudit replies: wrong accounts, too slow, or too vague. Do not just post more.
Stuck at 850 to 950Normal plateauDo not panic-post. Run one more cycle of the same plan.

If you hit 1,000 and only four people talk, you passed the weather and failed the law. Keep going on Gravity until 15–20 names are real.

Drill · 20 minutes

Copy the 8-week table into the X log. Circle the week you are actually in. Write the pass/fail line on a sticky note. That line is the only KPI until Sunday.
