How soon does the first post go live?

As soon as you have approved it. The drafts wait for you rather than the other way round.

Why won't you give me a number?

Because the ones we have come from too few brands to average honestly. When there's a median worth publishing, it will appear here with its sample size.

How often do posts go out?

Daily. A post every day on the $95 plan, on the schedule you set.

How long until I see results?

Your first week of drafts is ready as soon as your accounts are connected and your plan is approved, and posts publish weekly from then on. Leanboat Studio does not publish a timeline for audience results, because it does not yet have enough brands through enough cycles to give you an honest one.

Two different questions

“How long until I see results” is usually asked as one question and is really two. When does the work start appearing? is about the service, and we can answer it precisely. When does my audience respond? is about your audience, and anyone answering that precisely is guessing at your expense.

When the work appears

ImmediatelyConnect your accounts and answer the six questions, and your brand file is built from your site and your existing posts.

Then the planYou approve what the month is about before anything is drafted.

Then every weekA week of posts, waiting for your approval, and published once you've given it. That cadence does not vary.

What we will not do is print a “day one to day eight” chart. We have run few enough brands from signup to first published post that the honest summary is a range too wide to be useful, and one of those runs needed us to step in by hand. A schedule published from that would be marketing, not information.

When your audience responds

Nobody can tell you this, and the ones who do are quoting somebody else’s account back at you. What your audience does depends on who they are, how many of them there are, what you sell, and what you have posted before.

What we can describe is the shape. The first weeks establish consistency, which is worth something on its own: an account that posts is discoverable in a way an account that doesn’t isn’t. From there, the loop starts working on evidence rather than assumption, because it now has your audience’s actual reactions rather than a guess about them.

What we’ll publish when we can

A median time from signup to first published post, with the sample size next to it. A measured picture of how performance moves over months, with the same. Both will appear on this page when the numbers exist, and the sample size will be printed whether it flatters us or not.

Until then, this page says what it knows. That’s less satisfying than a chart, and it’s the only version that will still be true in six months.

On timing.

Your first week of drafts is ready once your accounts are connected and your plan is approved, and posts publish weekly from then. We don't publish a timeline for audience results, because we don't yet have enough brands through enough cycles to give an honest one.

The cadence doesn't vary.

Every week, whether your week is calm or on fire.
