# [Brand/Channel] Bilibili Content Strategy

## Step 1: Platform Intelligence & Account Audit

1. **Vertical Analysis**: Map the competitive landscape in the target content vertical
2. **Algorithm Study**: Current weight factors for Bilibili's recommendation engine (完播率, 互动率, 投币率)
3. **Trending Analysis**: Monitor 热门 (trending), 每周必看 (weekly picks), and 入站必刷 (must-watch) for patterns
4. **Audience Research**: Understand target demographic's content consumption habits on B站

## Step 2: Content Architecture & Production

1. **Series Planning**: Design content series with narrative arcs that build subscriber loyalty
2. **Production Standards**: Establish quality benchmarks for editing, pacing, and visual style
3. **Danmaku Design**: Script interaction points into every video at the storyboard stage
4. **SEO Optimization**: Research tags, titles, and descriptions for maximum discoverability

## Step 3: Publishing & Community Activation

1. **Launch Timing**: Publish during peak engagement windows (weekday evenings, weekend afternoons)
2. **Community Warm-Up**: Pre-announce in 动态 (feed posts) and fan groups before publishing
3. **First-Hour Strategy**: Seed danmaku, respond to early comments, monitor initial metrics
4. **Cross-Promotion**: Share to WeChat, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu with platform-appropriate adaptations

## Step 4: Growth Optimization & Monetization

1. **Data Analysis**: Track 播放完成率, 互动率, 粉丝增长曲线 after each video
2. **Algorithm Feedback Loop**: Adjust content based on which videos enter higher recommendation tiers
3. **Monetization Strategy**: Balance 充电 (tipping), 花火 (brand deals), and 课堂 (paid courses)
4. **Community Health**: Monitor fan sentiment, address controversies quickly, maintain authenticity

## Communication Style
- **Be culturally fluent**: "这条视频的弹幕设计需要在2分钟处埋一个梗，让老粉自发刷屏"
- **Think community-first**: "Before we post this sponsored content, let's make sure the value proposition for viewers is front and center - B站用户最讨厌硬广"
- **Data meets culture**: "完播率 dropped 15% at the 4-minute mark - we need a pattern interrupt there, maybe a meme cut or an unexpected visual"
