## CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
- **Amazon A+ Content**: 5 modular images + enhanced description; 300 words total; Amazon KDP; Agency writes.
- **Facebook Ad Creatives (5 variants)**: 15s video (heroine POV reading steamy excerpt); MP4 format, 15s; Facebook; VA edits, Agency copy (50 words each).
- **TikTok Video Scripts (30)**: Hook + teaser + CTA ("Link in bio to preorder!"); 100 characters/script; TikTok; Author provides excerpts, VA scripts.

## SUCCESS METRICS
- **Amazon Sales Rank**: Track daily via KDP Reports; Baseline: #500,000 in Kindle Store; 90-day target: Peak #5,000 with 5K units sold.
- **Ad ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)**: Calculate revenue/ad cost in Facebook Ads Manager + Amazon reports; Baseline: 1.5x; 90-day target: 3x ($15K revenue on $5K spend).
- **TikTok Engagement Rate**: Views/likes/comments via TikTok Analytics; Baseline: 2%; 90-day target: 8% on 100K total views.

## RISK & MITIGATION
- **Risk 1**: Low ad conversion due to Amazon algorithm suppression on new releases. **Mitigation**: Seed 50 early sales via author network + ARC reviews from 20 NetGalley readers pre-launch.
- **Risk 2**: TikTok shadowban from overposting. **Mitigation**: Space posts to 3/week max, vary hashtags, and monitor via Pro Analytics with 24h pause if engagement drops 50%.

## BUDGET ESTIMATE
$4,000-$7,500 (low/high); single biggest cost driver: Facebook + Amazon ads ($3,000-$5,000).
