Rev Leads x Doodle (Thumbnails and Facebook)
Content Strategy & Platform Focus
Shift from quantity → quality:
Original: 3 videos/week → New: 2 videos/week.
Goal: Videos that last longer on platform, retain views over time, not just viral clicks.
Quality metrics are now key across platforms:
TikTok: Focus on view duration.
Instagram: Focus on shares.
Facebook: More volatile revenue; focus on long-term value & engagement.
Facebook Strategy
Revenue: Highly variable (e.g., $6k → $4k → $8–10k month-to-month).
Approach:
Work on long-form content: scheduling, editing handled by team.
Creators continue shorts & posts, team handles long-form.
Use rev-share model, aligns incentives for high-quality edits.
Boosting options: Facebook allows post boosts for visibility.
Monetization: Safe, ad-driven; CPM/RPM strong.
Ramp-up period: Expect 30–45 days before content is fully optimized and released.
Video Types & Ideas
Road Trip / Group Videos
Example: “Ladies trip to Devil’s Triangle”
Include storytelling + personalities (e.g., background of Whitney & Maria).
Key elements for engagement:
Group dynamic
Humor / adventure / challenges
Primal branding elements (show personality)
Cheapest vs Most Expensive Format
Rent or buy items (bikes, mini-bikes, etc.) for comparison.
Thumbnail ideas: include price tags.
Example: RyderShare bikes: cheapest vs most expensive.
Can integrate into road trip content.
Mini-Competition / Challenge Videos
Mini-bike race series:
Rent track, stage competitions (drag race, fastest lap, helmet/dizzy bat challenge).
Rotate equipment mid-challenge (switch bikes) for variety.
Engaging for audience: viewers pick sides, identify with participants.
Successful prior example: “Mini-bike Pocket Rocket Challenge” → 11M views.
Reaction Videos
Reaction to motorcycle stunts / pop culture content (movies, TikTok trends).
Low lift, easy to repurpose into shorts & Facebook clips.
Example: Spike’s motorcycle clips; Life of Birch stunt videos.
Brand/Partner Content
Opportunities for sponsorship/credit (e.g., RyderShare, Kawasaki).
Can be tied into educational / review-style content.
Thumbnail & Title Strategy
Emphasize clear story + personality.
Use high contrast / attention-grabbing numbers (price, speed, challenge outcomes).
Incorporate main characters in the thumbnail for audience connection.
Consider Top Gear-style storytelling: singular points + group dynamic.
Operational Notes
Video production & editing: plan ahead to reduce “high lift” stress.
Onboarding & scheduling edits: 30–45 days before rollout.
Maintain consistent posting schedule for shorts/long-form content.
Cross-platform reuse: YouTube → Facebook → Shorts.
Next Steps / Recommendations
Finalize storyboard for upcoming road trip.
Incorporate cheapest vs most expensive / mini-bike challenge ideas.
Explore reaction / pop culture content for low-lift, high-reach videos.
Begin Facebook onboarding & revenue-sharing workflow.
Continue to test title/thumbnail variations for core vs fringe audiences.
