Rev Leads - Meeting # 1 (Low Lift topic ideas)

Main Focus Areas

  1. Low-Lift Video Ideas

    • Top 10 Bikes Video – Create a list-based video of the “10 best bikes,” easy to film and edit.

    • Motorcycle Destinations

      • Create videos highlighting the best places to ride (by state, region, or route length).

      • Use Google My Maps with waypoints, then share a downloadable map link for viewers.

      • Could evolve into “Top 10 places to ride in [state/USA].”

    • Best Of/Recap Video – Turn highlights into a “best of” video with extra commentary and behind-the-scenes moments to make it feel fresh for repeat viewers.

    • Arcade Motorcycle Challenge

      • “I rode 100,000 miles on a motorcycle arcade game.”

      • Potentially film at Round One arcade (PA), with collaboration possible through a regional director.

      • Structure it like Ryan Trahan-style content: funny engagement moments, kids wanting turns, food breaks, etc.

      • Calculate how many hours it would take (test the arcade machine speed/distance).

      • Possible variations: “Iron Butt Challenge” parody or “Arcade Platinum Butt Challenge.”

  2. Mid/Heavy-Lift Video Ideas

    • Motor Cop Training Video

      • 30 days of U-turn training leading up to riding with local motor police.

      • Need to finalize an outlined proposal for the police department (inspired by Michelle Khare’s Challenge Accepted style).

      • Title brainstorming:

        • Current title idea “I did 3,000 u-turns…” might not click as well as something like
          “30 Days of Training to Ride with the Most Elite Motorcycle Riders” (emphasizing “craziest” or “elite” riders over the term “motor police”).

        • Set up narrative early in the video to explain why these riders are next-level.

  3. Brand Partnerships / Sponsorship

    • Adventure Lifestyle – Big potential partner due to their budget and connections.

      • They could sponsor a channel or give early access to new bikes.

    • Local Triumph Dealership – Possible collaboration.

    • Connections via Stacy

      • Stacy is the “business partner” with extensive industry connections (powersports, RV, Bass Pro Shops, etc.).

      • Plan: Reach out to Hope (via Stacy) to explore collaboration.

    • Dealer Tag Strategy – Testing bikes using dealer tags for $1,000 “test drive” opportunities (if local dealers are on board).

  4. Content Strategy Notes

    • Balance heavy-lift and low-lift videos for consistent uploads.

    • Experiment with series-based videos like “Top 10 destinations” to build evergreen traffic.

    • Use recap videos with new insights for better engagement.

Thumbnail & Performance Strategy

  • Current Video Performance

    • Most recent video plateaued faster than expected (~40,000 views).

    • Plan: AB test new thumbnails at 2-week mark.

  • Thumbnail Ideas

    • Show more emotion and “beat-up” look for authenticity.

    • Test “dress and blazer” look since it worked well on Reels/Shorts.

    • Wider shots showing both rider and bike for clearer storytelling.

    • Aim for self-explanatory thumbnails (bike + person + context).
