TheWildcard

Nobody knows what you'll do next, sometimes including you, and that's exactly why they watch.

How your fans relate to you

Your fans are in on the joke. They found you through a bit, a character or something so strange they had to send it to a friend, and that sending is how you grow. They check your page to see what you'll do next. The fans who stick around are the ones who heard a song under the joke and liked it. Your job is to make sure there's always a song to hear.

What you're great at

  1. Writing hooks that stick after one listen.
  2. Making things people send to their friends.
  3. Moving fast and posting without being precious about it.

Your blind spot

They came for the joke and never heard the song.

The bit can eat the band. People come for the joke and never hear the song, and when you finally post something serious, they wait for the punchline. Chasing the next laugh is a treadmill that rarely pays you back. And for some Wildcards, humor is a way to avoid being seen trying, because if it flops, it was only a joke.

Not quite you?

This might not fit if what people love most is your everyday life and you, more than the bits and surprises. If so, read The Best Friend.

The plan that fits a Wildcard

Start on Creator

Your plan runs a weekly performance and a numbered recurring format, about 8 posts a month before any skits. Free covers 10 scheduled posts. Creator covers 50, so the bits have room.

Move to Pro when a rollout has you posting more than 50 times a month. Pro has no post limit.

This is a lens, not a diagnosis. It's based on 12 answers, so take what fits and leave what doesn't. You can retake it anytime, and you'll probably shift a little as your music does.
