## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE**: 90% of books fail to break even. Here's the marketing gap killing yours.
- **BODY**: Most authors pour everything into writing, then wing the launch. Result? Crickets on Amazon, forgotten in the slush pile.  

We've audited 200+ campaigns at Crimson Leaf Marketing. Common thread: zero social proof, mismatched targeting, no retention funnels.  

Fix it with a 3-pillar strategy: Pre-launch buzz (Reels + email lists), launch amplification (ads + influencers), post-launch nurture (reviews + sequels). One client saw 4x ROI in 90 days.  

Value first: Test this—post a "sneak peek" Reel today and track engagement.
- **CTA**: Connect and DM "Audit" for a free gap analysis.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE**: Indie authors: Your TikTok is a goldmine you’re ignoring.
- **BODY**: Platforms reward short-form video, yet 80% of book promos are static images. Wrong move.  

Short, hook-driven Reels drive 5x more discovery than posts. We scripted a 15-second thriller hook for a client—1M views, 2K sales.  

Build yours: Hook (problem), twist (your book solve), CTA (link). Tools like CapCut make it pro-level easy.  

Pro tip: Duet reader reactions for authenticity.
- **CTA**: Share your best Reel in comments—I’ll critique.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE**: Case study: How we 10x'd a debut novel's launch without VC funding.
- **BODY**: Fantasy author, $500 budget. Goal: Category #1.  

Strategy: LinkedIn author network seeding + Instagram Stories countdown + targeted FB ads to "fantasy readers."  

Week 1: 500 pre-orders. Week 2: Influencer unboxings. Result: 12K units, sustained via ARC reviews.  

Key lesson: Niche communities convert 3x better than broad blasts.
- **CTA**: Message "Case Study" for the full PDF.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE**: Stop treating marketing like an afterthought—authors who scale think like CEOs.
- **BODY**: Writing is art. Selling is science. Top earners (think Colleen Hoover) master both.  

Data point: Authors with dedicated social strategies outsell others 7:1.  

Our framework: Audience mapping → Content calendar → Analytics loops. One nonfiction client hit evergreen sales post-launch.  

Start small: Define your top 3 reader personas today.
- **CTA**: Comment your genre for a custom persona template.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE**: Reviews aren't luck—they're engineered.
- **BODY**: 70% of buyers check reviews first. Yet most authors beg friends. Inefficient.  

Smart play: ARC teams via StoryOrigin + automated Amazon requests + social amplification. We boosted one client's rating from 4.1 to 4.8 in 14 days, lifting sales 40%.  

Tactic: Post-launch email sequence with one-click review links. Compliance? Always Amazon TOS-friendly.  

Your edge: Proactive review velocity.
- **CTA**: Join my newsletter for the email template (link in comments).
