### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** 87% of indie authors fail to hit 500 sales—here's the data-backed fix.
- **BODY:**  
Most self-published books stall at under 100 copies because authors treat marketing as an afterthought. Our analysis of 500+ launches shows a clear pattern: success hinges on pre-launch visibility, not just quality writing.  

We focus on three pillars: optimized metadata for discoverability, targeted ad funnels, and community-building email lists. Clients see 4-10x ROI within 90 days.  

For authors aiming for sustainability, this isn't optional—it's foundational. Skip it, and your book vanishes in the algorithm.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** The hidden cost of DIY book marketing: 6 months wasted.
- **BODY:**  
Authors often spend hours on social media without results, burning out before launch. Our agency streamlines this with proven playbooks: ARC distribution, influencer partnerships, and A/B tested creatives.  

One client reclaimed 20 hours/week while boosting sales 300%. Data from BookScan and KDP reports confirms: professional intervention accelerates bestseller status.  

Invest in expertise to compound your efforts, not chase trends.  

What's your biggest time sink?
- **CTA:** Connect and reply with your challenge.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** Why Amazon ads alone won't make your book a bestseller.
- **BODY:**  
Ads drive traffic, but conversion requires holistic optimization: compelling blurbs, keyword-rich descriptions, and review velocity. We've refined this for 200+ titles, averaging 25% ACOS.  

Layer in off-platform traffic from TikTok and newsletters for exponential growth. Case study: A debut romance hit top 100 with under $2K spend.  

Scale smart, not hard.  

Need ad benchmarks for your genre?
- **CTA:** Comment "ADS" for our free guide.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** Authors: Your email list is your real asset—build it now.
- **BODY:**  
Social algorithms change, but owned audiences endure. We help authors grow lists from 0 to 5K pre-launch via lead magnets and automations.  

Result? Repeat sales and launches that compound. Industry stats: Email open rates outperform social by 40x for book promos.  

Don't rent attention—own it.  

Launching soon?
- **CTA:** DM "LIST" for a growth template.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** 5 metrics every author must track post-launch.
- **BODY:**  
Sales rank, conversion rate, ad spend, review accrual, and backlist velocity. Ignore them, and opportunities slip. Our dashboard tracks these in real-time for clients.  

One thriller author adjusted mid-launch based on data, adding 40% to totals. Tools like Publisher Rocket + our insights = informed decisions.  

Master the numbers to master the market.  

Which metric confuses you most?
- **CTA:** Like + comment for the full tracker sheet.
