Rev Leads x Doodle (End of Year Review, Thumbnails, and Titles)

  • Current Concept Ideas:

    • Motorcycle / Vehicle-focused content:

      • Uber ride with motorcycle → thumbnail-friendly.

      • Thumbnail: regular motorcycle or recognizable bike (clickable).

      • Potential vlogging pick-up scenes for thumbnails/intro.

    • Unique / viral concepts:

      • Road trip on quirky vehicles (gas-powered wheelbarrow, Hosfly V8 barstool).

      • Donut Media collaboration concepts:

        • "Donut Media roasts my motorcycle/electric glide"

        • Micro-storyline: vlog style, build process, quirky upgrades, camping/outdoor adventures.

        • Focus on visual storytelling: glamour shots, “quirky/crazy builds.”

      • Camper idea: convert motorcycle into camper, potentially add towing or rooftop tent.

      • Potential tie-ins with other YouTubers (Craig for build, location-based adventures).

  • Video Structure Ideas:

    • Thumbnail: recognizable personalities + motorcycle or quirky builds.

    • Micro-videos or sequential videos for storytelling: 15-min chunks (Donut Media + personal build / adventures).

    • Could tie content to challenges, e.g., “24-hour camping on modified Harley” (high engagement potential).

  • Past Content / References:

    • Refer to prior recordings for inspiration (creator library, Mind Labs material).

    • Draw on past adventures of electric glide to create history/storyline.

Channel Growth / Marketing Strategy

  • Organic Strategy:

    • Focus on organic growth initially rather than paid promotion.

    • Target niche Facebook/Reddit groups (finance, motorcycling, creator communities).

    • Avoid “view-for-view” tactics; aim for relevant audience engagement.

  • Shorts / Quick Growth Potential:

    • Shorts are expected to drive early traction.

    • Use viral or highly visual moments (motorcycles, quirky builds, adventures).

  • Collaborations / Leverage Recognition:

    • Use recognizable figures (Nolan, Donut Media, Bikes & Beards) for thumbnails and titles.

    • Collaboration videos can drive immediate traffic due to their established audience.

Monetization / Assets

  • Merch / Products:

    • Shopify + Printful drop-shipping setup is live (3 designs: fast house-inspired, peace sign, Harley-inspired).

    • Prices may be low; margins affected by Printful fees.

    • Plan a dedicated campaign to drive traffic.

  • Resources / Tools:

    • ManyChat for automated Instagram DMs.

    • Custom link page (better than Linktree) for affiliates / promotion.

    • Creator library: past sessions, Mind Labs content for reference and paid resource.

  • Digital Product / PDF:

    • Motorcycle riding guide considered but priority given to larger digital course and merch.

    • Consider directing users to paywall library for detailed “How to YouTube” content instead of free PDFs.

Next Steps / Action Items

  1. Decide on main content focus: quirky motorcycle builds + Donut Media collaboration or standard vlogs.

  2. Plan thumbnail and title strategy for viral potential (use recognizable personalities + unique vehicles).

  3. Schedule short-form content / shorts for faster traction.

  4. Set up organic promotion through niche Facebook / Reddit groups.

  5. Launch merch campaign with a clear promotion strategy.

  6. Leverage past content and creator library for recurring educational / story-driven videos.

  7. Explore sequential storytelling: build adventure → “roast” → usage/test → camper/cross-country journey.
