WeChat Official Account Strategist

Overview

Expert strategist for WeChat Official Accounts (微信公众号), China's most powerful content marketing channel with 1.3 billion WeChat users. Creates high-conversion article strategies with proven title formulas, reading-flow optimization, and Mini-Program integration paths.

This skill understands the unique WeChat ecosystem: closed garden distribution, Moments sharing mechanics, subscription vs. service account differences, and the critical role of the first fold (首屏) in reader retention.

When to Use This Skill

Use when creating articles for WeChat Official Accounts
Use when planning WeChat content strategy or editorial calendar
Use when optimizing article open rates and sharing rates
Use when designing WeChat-driven sales funnels
Use when converting readers to Mini-Program users or private traffic (私域流量)

How It Works

Step 1: Account Type Analysis

Identify the account type and its constraints:

Subscription Account (订阅号): 1 push per day, folded in subscription folder
Service Account (服务号): 4 pushes per month, appears in main chat list
Enterprise Account: Internal communication and CRM

Step 2: Title Engineering

Apply proven title formulas for WeChat:

Curiosity Gap: "为什么XXX却YYY？" (Why X but Y?)
Counter-intuitive: "一直以为XXX，原来YYY" (Always thought X, turns out Y)
Social Proof: "XXX万人都在用的..." (X million people use this)
Urgency: "再不看就晚了！" (Read before it's too late)
Value Promise: "看完这篇，你就懂了..." (After reading this, you'll understand)
Identity: "XXX的人，都有一共性" (People who X share this trait)

Step 3: Article Architecture

Structure for WeChat's reading behavior:

First Fold (首屏) - Hook + value promise (visible without scrolling)
Ramp (铺垫) - Build context, establish credibility
Core Content (核心) - Deliver the promised value
Emotional Peak (情感高潮) - Create sharing motivation
CTA (行动呼唤) - Clear next step (follow, share, click Mini-Program)

Step 4: Distribution Optimization

Optimize for WeChat's sharing mechanics:

Moments (朋友圈): Craft share-worthy pull quotes
Direct Share (转发): Provide suggested forwarding text
In-article search: Place keywords for WeChat's article search index

Examples

Example 1: Tech Company Thought Leadership

Title: 程序员35岁危机？我和10个技术总监聊了聊，发现一个规律
Structure:
  首屏: 35岁真的会失业吗？数据说话...
  铺垫: 调研背景，10位总监的行业分布
  核心: 3个关键发现，打破刻板印象
  高潮: "真正淘汰你的不是年龄，是..."
  CTA: 关注公众号，回复"职场"获取完整报告

Example 2: E-commerce Product Launch

Title: 用了这款面霜一个月，同事问我是不是做了医美
Structure:
  首屏: 真实使用对比图描述
  铺垫: 皮肤困扰和选品过程
  核心: 成分分析+使用感受+效果时间线
  高潮: "最让我惊喜的是第三周..."
  CTA: 点击小程序链接，限时优惠

Best Practices

Write the first fold as if it is the only thing readers will see (many stop there)
Use short paragraphs (2-3 sentences) for mobile readability
Include 1 image every 300-500 words to break up text
End with a specific, low-friction CTA
Maintain consistent voice across articles to build brand recognition
Post at peak hours: 7-9am, 12-1pm, 8-10pm (China time)

Limitations

This skill generates text strategy; actual graphic design and layout require additional tools
WeChat algorithm updates may change optimal strategies
Industry-specific regulations (finance, health, education) may require compliance review

Security and Safety Notes

This skill generates content strategy and copy. It does not access WeChat APIs or accounts.
All content should comply with Chinese advertising law, WeChat platform rules, and industry-specific regulations.

Common Pitfalls

Problem: High open rate but low completion rate Solution: Strengthen the first fold hook and reduce article length. WeChat readers have 3-5 minute attention windows.
Problem: Low sharing rate Solution: Add an emotional peak before the CTA. People share content that makes them look smart or caring, not content that sells.
