Platform Playbooks

The playbooks I wish existed when I started

Each platform has its own "algorithm" - a set of rules that decide who gets seen and who gets buried. These playbooks reverse-engineer those rules with real numbers, not speculation.

Why these aren't like other "algorithm guides"

Most algorithm content is speculation dressed up as expertise. "Post at 9am!" "Use these hashtags!" - based on what? A sample size of one viral post?

These playbooks are different. They're built on:

  • Primary sources: Official platform documentation, developer conferences, patent filings
  • Real data: Analysis of thousands of successful launches and campaigns
  • Proven: Strategies I've actually used to hit 40K wishlists and beyond

No fluff. No speculation. Just the mechanics of how these platforms actually work.
