## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** 90% of indie books sell under 100 copies. The marketing gap is why.
- **BODY:** Most authors pour years into writing, only to watch launches fizzle. The culprit? Zero pre-launch buzz, generic ads, and ignored email lists.

  At Crimson Leaf Marketing, we've audited 200+ campaigns. Top fix: Genre-specific funnels that build 5-figure preorders.

  Data shows targeted Amazon ads alone boost visibility 300%. Pair with influencer seeding, and you're at bestseller ranks.

  Authors and publishers: This isn't theory—it's our playbook for clients like Sarah (fantasy debut, 5K sales Week 1).
- **CTA:** Connect and DM "AUDIT" for your free launch review.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** BookTok drives 10x sales—but only with these 3 hooks.
- **BODY:** Platforms like TikTok reward precision. Generic "read my book" videos die. Winners use emotional ARC teases, trend-jacks, and UGC prompts.

  Our agency tests 50+ creatives per campaign, refining to 20%+ engagement. Result: One romance client hit 1M views, 3K sales.

  For nonfiction, swap hooks for pain-point stats. Fiction? Character drama.

  Scale your reach without the guesswork.
- **CTA:** Comment your genre—I'll share a custom hook.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** Email lists beat social for 30% launch conversions. Build one right.
- **BODY:** Social algorithms shift daily; your list is owned forever. Yet 80% of authors neglect nurture sequences.

  We deploy segmented Klaviyo flows: Teaser drips → scarcity alerts → post-launch upsells. Clients see 25-40% open-to-sale rates.

  Start with ARCs for reviews, then weekly value (tips, not pitches).

  Publishers: This compounds across catalogs.
- **CTA:** Download our free "List Builder Checklist" in comments.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** Influencer partnerships: 5x ROI if you avoid these pitfalls.
- **BODY:** Micro-influencers (5K-50K followers) outperform mega ones for books—cheaper, higher engagement.

  Pitfall 1: No contract KPIs. We mandate swipe-up sales tracking.

  Pitfall 2: Wrong niches. Thriller needs suspense creators, not lifestyle.

  Our campaigns average 4:1 ROI, with one client gaining 10K Amazon rankings jump.

  Data-driven matching is key.
- **CTA:** Message "INFLUENCER" for vetted contact list.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Your book cover sells 70% of impulse buys. Audit yours now.
- **BODY:** Heatmap studies confirm: Thumbnails decide clicks. Bland designs = ignored.

  We A/B test 10 variants per project, optimizing for genre tropes + thumbnail pop.

  Fix: High-contrast, emotional faces, bold typography. One tweak lifted a client's CTR 45%.

  Authors: Don't skimp—it's your silent salesperson.
- **CTA:** Share your cover link; I'll critique in replies.

- **Tweet 6:** Step 5: Paid ads Phase 1. FB/Amazon, $0.50/click on lookalikes. Scale winners only. Don't burn cash on losers.

- **Tweet 7:** Step 6: Influencer wave. 10 micros, $50-200 each. Track via unique links. 4x ROI average.

- **Tweet 8:** Step 7: Momentum loop. Reviews → more ads → rankings → organic. Snowballs to bestseller.
