6-Month Plan

**Month 1–2: Establish consistency.** Post on your primary platform at least 3x per week, every week. No gaps, no bursts.

**Month 2–3: Optimize your profiles.** Professional profile photo. Bio that clearly states who you make content for. Link in bio that goes somewhere useful.

**Month 3–4: Grow engagement (not just followers).** Ask questions. Reply to comments. A 500-person engaged community is more valuable than 10,000 passive followers.

**Month 4–5: Document your niche.** Be clear about what you cover. If brands can't immediately understand your niche, they won't reach out.

**Month 6: Apply.** At this point, you'll have 6 months of posting history, a professional profile, and a defined niche.
