## OBJECTIVE
Drive 3,000 unit sales of "Quantum Leadership: Thriving in the AI Era" by Dr. Elena Voss on Amazon Kindle and paperback within 90 days post-launch, measured via Amazon KDP dashboard sales reports, equating to $15,000 in author royalties at $5 net per unit.

## TARGET AUDIENCE
- **Primary segment**: 35-50 year old mid-level tech managers (e.g., engineering leads, product managers) active on LinkedIn (daily users, 5k+ connections), in "frustrated awareness" emotional state (overwhelmed by AI disruption, seeking practical leadership tools), at top-of-funnel buying stage (browsing leadership content but not yet committed to purchases >$20).
- **Key insight**: They need to see relatable case studies of AI-era promotions (e.g., "how one manager doubled team output") and feel empowered by a 15-min daily framework to act—position the book as their "AI-proof career accelerator" via testimonials from peers like Google PMs.

## CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
- **Lead magnet landing page copy**: 400 words, headline "5 AI Leadership Hacks for Tech Managers", opt-in form; platform: LinkedIn; author writes, VA formats in Canva.
- **Email sequence (7 emails)**: 200-300 words each, subject lines <50 chars (e.g., "AI is eating your team's output—fix it"); platform: Mailchimp; agency writes.
- **LinkedIn ad creatives (carousel + video)**: 3 static images (1080x1080px, Canva templates with book cover overlay), 30-sec video script (150 words, author on camera); platform: LinkedIn; VA designs graphics, agency scripts.
- **Live event scripts**: 500 words per event (host intro, 3 Q&A prompts tied to book chapters); platform: LinkedIn; author provides bullet points, agency polishes.
- **Review request email**: 150 words; platform: Mailchimp; agency templates.

## SUCCESS METRICS
- **Amazon Sales**: Track daily units sold via KDP dashboard; baseline: 50/month pre-launch; 90-day target: 3,000 total.
- **Email Open-to-Sale Conversion**: Measure via Mailchimp UTM links to Amazon; baseline: 1%; 90-day target: 4%.
- **LinkedIn Impressions-to-Clicks**: Report from Campaign Manager; baseline: 0.5% CTR; 90-day target: 1.5% CTR on 500k impressions.

## RISK & MITIGATION
- **Risk**: Low ad performance due to LinkedIn algorithm changes favoring video. **Mitigation**: Allocate 20% budget to A/B test static vs. video ads weekly, pivoting to top performer by Day 20.
- **Risk**: Author no-shows for live events eroding credibility. **Mitigation**: Schedule 2 backup dates per event and pre-record 5-min intro clips as fallback.

## BUDGET ESTIMATE
$4,000-$7,500 (low/high); single biggest cost driver: LinkedIn ads ($3,000 at $6 CPM for 500k impressions).
