### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** Indie authors: 90% of launches fail due to this one gap.  
- **BODY:** Most self-published books vanish into Amazon's algorithm abyss. The culprit? No pre-launch momentum.  

  We've audited 200+ campaigns at Crimson Leaf Marketing. Top fix: ARC-driven buzz + targeted ads, yielding 4x average sales.  

  One client, a debut thriller author, went from 72 pre-orders to 2,800 in 4 weeks.  

  Value takeaway: Start your ARC list 90 days out. Use tools like BookFunnel for distribution.  
- **CTA:** Connect and message "AUDIT" for a free launch review.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** Email lists beat social media for book sales—here's proof.  
- **BODY:** Social algorithms change daily, but your email list is owned forever. Data from our campaigns: 32% open rates drive 7x ROI vs. Instagram ads.  

  Strategy: Build with lead magnets (free chapters). Nurture with value (writing tips). Convert with launches.  

  Client example: Romance author grew from 500 to 5k subscribers, hitting six figures.  

  Pro tip: Segment by genre interest for 40% higher engagement.  
- **CTA:** Comment your list size for a growth tip.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** TikTok ads for books: $0.12 per click reality check.  
- **BODY:** Publishers overlook short-form video. We don't. Our BookTok campaigns average 15% conversion from impression to sale.  

  Breakdown: Hook in 3 seconds, UGC testimonials, retargeting warm audiences.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** Bestseller lists aren't luck—they're engineered.  
- **BODY:** Category domination starts with metadata mastery + promo stacks. We've placed 17 clients on Amazon Top 100 this year.  

  Framework: Optimize keywords, stack discounts, leverage newsletters like BookBub.  

  Non-fiction memoir client: #17 in Biographies from zero buzz.  

  Actionable: Audit your BISAC codes today.  
- **CTA:** Share this if you've hit a list—let's connect.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Why 80% of authors undervalue influencer partnerships.

  YA fantasy win: 3 influencers = 4k sales spike.  

  Start small: Platforms like NetGalley for discovery.

## TWITTER/X THREAD (1 thread, 9 tweets)

- **Tweet 1:** Indie authors: Your book is gold. But without marketing, it's buried treasure. Thread: 8 mistakes sinking launches + fixes. 1/9  

- **Tweets 2-9:**  
  2/9 Mistake #1: No pre-orders. Fix: Tease chapters on TikTok, aim for 500+. Sales velocity = algorithm love.  
  3/9 #2: Ignoring ARCs. Fix: 100 readers 60 days out via BookFunnel. Reviews = rocket fuel.  
  4/9 #3: Generic covers. Fix: A/B test thumbnails—pro designs convert 3x.  
  5/9 #4: Solo social posting. Fix: UGC + Reels hooks under 3s. Virality > vanity metrics.  
  6/9 #5: Ad blindness. Fix: Start $50/day on Amazon/FB, retarget readers. ROI in week 1.  
  7/9 #6: Email neglect. Fix: Free chapter magnet → daily nurtures → launch blast (30% open).  
  8/9 #7: No stack. Fix: BookBub + ENT + newsletters. Multiply reach 10x.  
  9/9 #8: Post-launch drop. Fix: Evergreen ads + sequels tease. Sustain forever sales.
