## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** Indie authors: 90% of launches fail due to one overlooked step.  
- **BODY:** Most self-published books generate buzz for 48 hours—then silence. The culprit? No pre-launch audience warming.  

We've analyzed 100+ campaigns: Successful ones build email lists and communities 90 days out. Target niche readers via Goodreads groups and genre forums. Result: 4x launch week sales.  

For thriller authors, this meant seeding ARCs to 200 beta readers. Sales jumped from 50 to 850.  

Skip this, and your book joins the forgotten.  
- **CTA:** Connect and message "AUDIT" for your pre-launch checklist.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** Why your book ads flop (and the $0.10 fix).  
- **BODY:** Ad platforms reward precision, not spray-and-pray. Authors waste $1k+ on broad targeting.  

Narrow to "fans of [comp author]" + interest signals like "book clubs." Test 5 creatives: Problem-hook-solution format wins 70% more clicks.  

One client shifted from generic "buy my book" to "Solve the mystery before it's too late." CPC dropped 60%, ROAS hit 5x.  

Data doesn't lie—refine or rinse.  
- **CTA:** Share your worst ad stat in comments.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** From 100 sales to 5k: The funnel authors ignore.  
- **BODY:** Writing ends at "The End." Selling starts with systems. Most authors chase one-off promo stacks.  

Build a funnel: Free chapter magnet → 7-day nurture sequence → Launch discount. Conversion? 25% open-to-sale.  

A memoir client captured 1,200 leads pre-launch. Post-launch: 5k units, steady backlist sales.  

Scale yours without burnout.  
- **CTA:** DM "FUNNEL" for the template.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** Micro-influencers outperform big BookTok stars—here's proof.  
- **BODY:** 10k-follower niche reviewers drive 3x engagement vs. 100k generalists. Cost? $50/post.  

Strategy: Pitch 20 with personalized ARCs tied to their vibe. Track via unique links.  

Sci-fi client: 15 collabs = 2k sales, 40% cheaper than ads. Authenticity scales.  

Publishers, take note—indies are winning this game.  
- **CTA:** Tag a micro-influencer you love.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Book marketing ROI: What 50 launches taught us.  
- **BODY:** Average indie spend: $2k. Average return? $1.2k (loss). Our clients: $8k return.  

Key: 40% ads, 30% email, 20% organic social, 10% PR. Measure lifetime value, not launch week.  

Nonfic client recouped in month 1, now passive income via evergreen content.  

Invest smart, harvest long-term.  
- **CTA:** Book a 15-min strategy call via Calendly link.
