## TIKTOK / REELS (5 concepts)

### Concept 1
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: On-screen text: "Why your book isn't selling? 😩"

- **CTA**: "DM 'AUDIT' for free help! 👇"

### Concept 2
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: Spoken: "Indie authors: Stop this mistake NOW."
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: Author tossing money in trash (ad waste), transition to smart phone scrolling Reels, overlay tips like "Hook in 3 sec," stats pop up (50K views → sales), upbeat music.
- **CTA**: "Comment your genre for custom tips!"

### Concept 3
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: On-screen: "From 0 to 5K sales in 90 days? Yes."

- **CTA**: "Link in bio for the blueprint!"

### Concept 4

- **CTA**: "Save & share with an author friend!"

### Concept 5
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: On-screen text: "Bestseller formula exposed."

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE**: 90% of books fail due to invisible marketing gaps—here's how to fix yours.
- **BODY**: Self-published authors face a brutal reality: Great writing alone won't cut through the noise. Platforms prioritize algorithms over artistry, leaving most launches in the dust.  

  At Crimson Leaf Marketing, we've audited 500+ campaigns. Common pitfalls? Weak hooks, scattered ARCs, and ignored reader psychology.  

  Our fix: Data-driven content packs that build pre-launch buzz. One client hit 10K sales by week 2 after we optimized their Reels strategy.  

  Value first: Start with reader pain points, not product pitches. Test 3 hooks weekly. Track engagement-to-sales conversion.  

  Scale what works.
- **CTA**: Message me "AUDIT" for your free 5-point book marketing review.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE**: TikTok turned a debut thriller into 20K copies sold—without paid ads.
- **BODY**: Organic reach is dead for most, but niche platforms like TikTok reward precision. We scripted 15-second hooks that tapped #BookTok trends, sparking duets and shares.  

  Result: Viral loops drove 47% of sales. No budget required—just strategy.  

  For indie authors, this means ditching generic posts for format-specific content: Reels for emotion, Threads for proof.  

  We've replicated this across genres, from romance to non-fiction. Key? Audience mapping before launch.  

  Your manuscript is ready. Is your funnel?
- **CTA**: Connect and reply "TIKTOK" for the hook template.

  Track KPIs weekly: Impressions, clicks, conversions. Adjust ruthlessly.
- **CTA**: Download our free timeline checklist—link in comments.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE**: One metric predicts book sales better than reviews.
- **BODY**: It's pre-launch engagement. 1K Reel views? Expect 50-100 sales. 10K? Scale to thousands.  

  We benchmark against 1,000 campaigns: High-engagement content predicts 3x ROI.  

  Pro tip: Use polls and Q&A to qualify leads early. Build an owned audience.  

  Agencies like ours deliver turnkey packs—Instagram, Reels, Threads—proven to hit those benchmarks.
- **CTA**: Share your last launch metric below for personalized feedback.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE**: Stop launching books solo—partner for 5x results.

  Why? Specialized content, cross-platform synergy, and real-time optimization.  

  Case: Memoir author gained 15K followers pre-launch, converting 12% to buyers.  

  Next level: Long-tail strategies like email nurtures and evergreen Reels.
