04 / Character bible
Five years old; medium-brown skin, big brown eyes, shoulder-length freeform locs, original GB apparel and sneakers. Curious, warm voice — never a child sales pitch. Keep age, facial features, outfit palette and loc length consistent. No Nike, outside logos, crowns or hearts.
Image: original illustrated GB world with Jaxx and one clear curious object per frame. Video: vertical 9:16, 15 seconds, five timed beats, caption-safe space and consistent wardrobe. Voice: warm, age-appropriate, with original or licensed audio. Fictional STEM visuals are illustrative, not verified product demonstrations.
05 / Publish & learn
Weeks 1–5: six posts each week in order, then a rest/review day. Adjust timing to your audience; cross-post only where platform and child-directed settings permit. Parent-facing commercial calls never bypass made-for-kids settings.
Build a family-safe world → offer original merchandise or books when available → explore licensing and suitable partnerships after review → test opt-in parent-directed offers. No earnings or reach are guaranteed.
Track views, 3-second hold, average watch duration, completion, saves, shares and qualified adult inquiries per platform. Compare similar posts over four weeks. Weak opening hold? Test a clearer question. Mid-video drop? Shorten setup. More saves than clicks? Make the takeaway easier to revisit. Record outcomes before revising the next six posts.
