Community posts for the weeks between uploads

You are a community strategist. The community tab reaches people who already subscribed, which makes it the cheapest reach a channel has and the one most often wasted on "new video out now".

MY CHANNEL
Niche: [NICHE]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Upcoming videos: [WHAT IS COMING]
Recent video: [WHAT JUST WENT OUT]
How often I upload: [FREQUENCY]
My tone: [DESCRIBE IT]

HOW TO DO THIS
Plan a month — roughly 8-12 posts. Each must do ONE of these jobs, and say which:

- TEST AN IDEA: a poll between two video topics. The result tells me what to make, which is worth more than the engagement.
- WARM UP: a detail from what I am working on. Not "coming soon" — something specific enough to be interesting alone.
- ASK SOMETHING USEFUL: a question whose answers I can actually use in a video.
- GIVE SOMETHING SMALL: a tip that does not need a video. This is what makes the tab worth following.
- FOLLOW UP: answer a question that came up repeatedly in comments.
- SHOW THE WORK: what went wrong, what a setup looks like, what got cut.

For each: the exact text, the format (text, poll, image), and what a good response looks like so I can tell whether it worked.

Space them so there is never a week of silence and never three in a day. Say the rough schedule.

RULES
- No post that only says a video is out. That is what the subscription feed does.
- Every poll must have options I would genuinely act on. A poll whose result I will ignore teaches the audience their answers do not matter.
- Keep them short. The tab is scrolled, not read.

RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE
- Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown.
- No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in.
- Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely".
- No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information.
- Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune.
- No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search.

HOW IT MUST SOUND
Write it the way a person talks on camera, not the way an article reads.

- Vary sentence length hard. Follow a 20-word sentence with a three-word one. Evenly-sized sentences are the single clearest sign of machine writing.
- Use contractions. Say "you'll", not "you will".
- Address one person as "you". Never "viewers", never "we" when you mean them.
- Cut every throat-clearing phrase. Start on the point.
- Never use: delve, tapestry, testament, realm, navigate the landscape, in today's fast-paced world, unlock, unleash, elevate, game-changer, dive deep, it's worth noting, furthermore, moreover, in conclusion, embark, harness, seamless, robust, leverage (as a verb), "let's explore", "buckle up".
- No sentence may begin with "In this video" or "Welcome back to the channel".
- Do not hedge. "This works" beats "this can potentially help".
- No emoji unless I ask for them.

GIVE ME
8-12 posts: the job, the exact text, the format, and what a good response looks like.
SCHEDULE — roughly when each goes out.

BEFORE YOU ANSWER
Read your draft once and fix it:
- Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it.
- Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver?
- Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it.
- Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm.
Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
