Your first 7 days
The first seven days are when your persona finds her feet. How fast that translates into sales depends entirely on the audience you bring; some creators see activity in the first day, others take a week or more. This guide is the rhythm that gets the most signal out of those first seven days regardless of how the early numbers play out.
Plan to spend 15–20 minutes in the dashboard each day. After day seven you can go to once-a-week if everything is humming.
Day 1 — Launch and watch
Open Inbox and Dashboard in two tabs. As fans start chatting, watch a few full conversations end-to-end without intervening. You are checking three things:
- Does her tone feel right?
- Are her replies the right length?
- Is she sending the first PPV at a moment that makes sense?
If something feels off, do not panic. Note it. We adjust tomorrow.
Day 2 — Adjust the chat style
Open AI Chatter → Chat style. Make small changes based on yesterday’s notes:
- Replies too long? Drop length one notch.
- Too clinical? Push tone toward “playful” or add an emoji notch.
- Too pushy with PPVs? Move sales pace from “normal” to “hybrid”.
Small changes only. One slider at a time. Watch the new responses for a few hours before changing anything else.
Day 3 — Re-warm cold fans
Open Fans. Sort by Last activity. Look for fans who chatted for a few messages then went silent. Click into one, read the last 10 messages, and decide whether the persona dropped the ball or whether the fan was always going to ghost.
Tease does this re-warming automatically through the daily follow-up automation. But on day 3 you want to see how it works manually so you can tune it.
Day 4 — Add a new script tier
Open Scripts. Your starting funnel covers the basics. Add one more tier this week. Common moves:
- A bundle that combines two earlier tiers at a discount
- A premium custom tier with a longer video
- A teaser tier at a low price for whales who already bought everything else
Tease auto-suggests a price based on what other creators with similar pricing patterns charge for similar content kinds.
Day 5 — Read the analytics
Open Analytics → 30 days (or “All” if you launched less than 30 days ago). Look at:
- Conversion rate: how many fans who saw a PPV bought it
- Average LTV: how much the average fan has spent so far
- Active fans: how many had a conversation in the last 7 days
Conversion rate under 10% in week 1 is normal. Under 5% in week 2 means the pricing is too high or the script tiers do not match the audience. Pricing is the first thing to tune.
Day 6 — Tune the automations
Open Automations. Three automations matter most:
- Daily 24h follow-up: re-engages fans who went silent for a day
- Good morning / good night: opens and closes the day with regulars
- PPV follow-up: nudges a fan who saw a PPV but did not buy
Each one has an on/off toggle and an editable timing. The defaults are sensible. Turn one off only if you have a specific reason (you do not want the persona messaging unprompted, for instance).
Day 7 — First payout
Open Payouts. The headline number is Available now: revenue that has cleared the 21-day Telegram hold and the manual review. In the first week, this is usually small or zero, because Telegram holds Stars transactions for three weeks before settling.
What you can do today:
- Confirm your wallet address is set in Settings → Payouts
- Read the payout hold explanation so you know exactly when the first lump arrives
- Set up a calendar reminder for day 22 — the first real payout window
After this, the rhythm settles into weekly check-ins. Most creators only open the dashboard once or twice a week after the first month.
