✦ CHAPTER 2: ALGORITHM BASICS ✦

📊 “Train the machine to recognize you.”

💡 What is an algorithm?

Let’s start from the beginning.

An algorithm is just a math equation looking for patterns in data.

That’s it.

The algorithm is not a person. It’s not judging you.

It doesn’t know who you are. It only knows:

What you post
When you post it
What words you use
What people do when they see it

So your goal is to create a pattern that the algorithm can recognize and boost.

Because if it doesn’t know what you’re about, it won’t know who to show you to.

🧠 What’s the data?

Your posts are the data.

Every time you post something — a video, a tweet, a clip, a meme — that’s a data point.

You are feeding the algorithm with every post you make.

The question is:

Are you feeding it junk… or are you feeding it steak?

🏗️ So how do you create a pattern?

The key is consistency.

Consistency doesn’t mean you have to post at exact times or make exactly the same kind of content.

It means you’re:

Showing up regularly
Talking about the same core topics
Using similar wording and energy
Reinforcing your brand across platforms

✨ Example (my content schedule):

I post on Twitter every day. And it looks like this:

9 AM – 11 AM → “Good morning” post
3 PM → “VTuber tip of the day”
All day → Short-form posts, memes, reminders, and brand content

(Warhammer, VTuber stuff, Souls games, wrestling)

All of those things tie back to my brand pillars.

So the algorithm knows:

“This person posts about VTubing, gaming, and memes — consistently.”

So it starts pushing my content to people who like those things. That’s the goal.

✦ PART 2: Keywords

💡 What is a keyword?

A keyword is a word that the algorithm connects with a certain audience.

That’s it.

Let’s say my keyword is “Warhammer.”

If people who love Warhammer click on my post that has the word “Warhammer” in it…

The algorithm notices and thinks:

“Okay, people who like Warhammer seem to engage with this person. I’ll show them more.”

That’s keyword association. It builds over time.

🧠 How do you use keywords well?

You need to:

Talk about your niche constantly
Use your keywords on every platform
Put them in your captions, tags, titles, bios, and visuals
Use them in a way that feels natural

🧠 Example (again, me):

My keywords are:

VTuber Tips
Warhammer
Souls games
Wrestling
Cult
Cryptid energy
18+ VTuber

I talk about these things all the time.

I meme about them. I reply to people using them. I tag my content with them.

That means people who engage with those things are more likely to see my stuff.

✨ Cross-platform magic

The key to great algorithm performance isn’t just being active — it’s being aligned.

If you post about Souls games on TikTok, stream cozy farming games on Twitch, and tweet about anime — the algorithm gets confused.
