End-of-Month Add-on (Last Friday of Each Month) ⏱ +30min

Launch Checklist

Week 1: Start the Content Flywheel

  • Create your product in AutoWhisper
  • Fill in your product positioning (see Product Positioning Guide)
  • Upload product materials (images, product page screenshots, customer reviews)
  • Connect 2–3 publishing platforms
  • Ask CMO Chat to run the first batch now (or turn on daily auto-run and let it land tomorrow)
  • Review your first batch of content (write detailed reject reasons — that’s how you teach the AI your style)

Week 4: Start Running Ads (confirm move one is done first)

  • Run through the move-one checklist: real photos + price on the product page, contact info above the fold, Search Console verified + sitemap submitted, your brand name findable in search
  • Launch your first campaign: Douyin’s local-boost tool or TikTok For Business, self-serve on your phone, ¥200–500 / $30+
  • Read Paid Ads

Week 6: Conversion Pipeline / B2B Side Branch (pick your business)


Milestones

Checkpoint Check Next Step
End of Week 2 Is the AI learning your style? Are you rejecting less? Keep teaching, stay patient
End of Week 4 Is the rhythm stable? Are all five move-one items done? Start running ads + consider adding platforms
End of Week 8 Reject rate < 20%? Is cost-per-lead trending down? Consider adding a 2nd product
End of Week 12 Is the flywheel spinning on its own? Are ads profitable and stable? Consider enabling cmo_auto_run

Remember: consistency beats perfection. Run the content flywheel for 4 weeks, add ads for 8 more, and you’ll see the 1+1=3 compounding effect kick in.
