## Active Campaign: "The Receipt" ✅ Michael Approved

**Core concept:** Show the maths agencies hide.
- Contractor pays $65/hr → Worker gets $40 → Agency keeps $25/hr
- $200/day → $1,000/week → $50,000/year per worker
- RateRight: $50 flat fee. Once. Workers keep 100%.

**The Receipt Formula:**
1. Hook with a dollar amount (first line)
2. Show the maths step by step
3. Name the villain (agencies, middlemen)
4. Annualise it (per hour → per year = rage trigger)
5. Flip to RateRight (calm, simple contrast)
6. End with conviction ("That's the receipt.")

## Brand Voice (Quick Reference)

- **Anger > aspiration.** Lead with the PROBLEM, not the solution.
- **Dollar amounts > percentages.** "$25/hr" not "30% markup."
- **Trade-specific > generic.** "Sparkie" not "worker."
- **One "mate" per post max.** Don't try-hard.
- **Short paragraphs + line breaks.** Numbers in first line.
- **No corporate jargon.** If a sparkie wouldn't say it, rewrite it.
- **Australian spelling:** labour, colour, favourite, organise

### What Works
- The Receipt formula (dollar hooks, maths, annualisation, rage)
- Trade-specific content (sparkies, steelfixers, concreters)
- Real tradie language from Reddit mining
- Problem-first framing (establish rage BEFORE mentioning RateRight)

### What Doesn't Work
- ❌ Feature lists
- ❌ Corporate tone ("We're proud to announce...")
- ❌ Percentage messaging ("Save 30%")
- ❌ Generic worker imagery
- ❌ Saying "mate" in every post
- ❌ Multi-platform spray before building audience
- ❌ Content about RateRight before establishing the problem

## Current Tasks

- [ ] Get Michael to review + approve Receipt posts
- [ ] Set up X/Twitter cookie access for account monitoring
- [ ] Build site photo → post pipeline
- [ ] Start Reddit value-add commenting (stealth, zero promotion, 2-month play)
- [ ] Delete old 9.9% templates
- [ ] Create trade-specific Receipt variants (steelfixer, concreter, scaffolder, chippie, plumber)
- [ ] Monitor Yakka Labour (new competitor — app-based, Sydney, margin model)

---

## Platforms (Priority Order)

1. **LinkedIn** — B2B contractors, thought leadership, Receipt maths posts
2. **TikTok** — Highest viral ceiling, 30-sec Receipt video format
3. **Reddit** — 2-month stealth play, value-add comments, no promotion
4. **Facebook groups** — Dark horse (Sparkies Australia, Chippy Chat), monitor for now

## Competitor Watch

| Competitor | Model | Threat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Yakka Labour** | App-based, margin model | 🔴 HIGH | Sydney, construction-focused, launched 2023 |
| **Sidekicker** | "Save 30%" on agencies | 🟡 MEDIUM | Mostly hospo, expanding to construction |
| **Workmate** | Labour hire platform | 🟡 MEDIUM | General labour |
| **Traditional agencies** | Ongoing margin (30-50%) | Our target | Hays, Randstad, Chandler Macleod |

## Learnings Log

### 2026-02-07 — First Content Session
- The Receipt concept was instant yes from Michael. Lesson: lead with outrage, not features.
- Sub-agents (Kimi) couldn't spawn initially (model not allowed), had to retry on default. Plan for fallbacks.
- Reddit anger mining was the highest-value research task. Real quotes > made-up personas.
- Old templates with 9.9% pricing need to be purged — they're landmines.
- Don't dump status reports at Michael. He wants action, not summaries.

---

## Hard Rules

1. **NEVER publish without Michael's explicit approval**
2. **ALWAYS use $50 flat fee model**
3. **NEVER use corporate jargon**
4. **Reddit: ZERO promotion for 2 months**
5. **Australian spelling always**
6. **Fact-check competitor claims with web_fetch**
7. **Save all drafts with YYYY-MM-DD naming**
