## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** Most authors launch blind—here's why 90% fail sales targets.  
- **BODY:** Data doesn't lie: 90% of indie books sell fewer than 100 copies in year one. The culprit? No pre-launch buzz, scattered social efforts, and ignored reader psychology.  

At Crimson Leaf Marketing, we map launches with precision. Our clients see 5-10x lifts because we start with audience audits—not guesses.  

Take Jax R., thriller author: From stagnant pre-orders to 50k units via targeted LinkedIn author networks and email funnels.  

Value first: Audit your own launch with this checklist (link below). Then scale.  
- **CTA:** Download the free launch checklist in comments.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** TikTok turned my client's romance novel into a 20k-sales phenomenon.  
- **BODY:** Short-form video isn't "trendy"—it's essential. Readers discover 60% of books via Reels/TikTok now. But generic clips flop.  

We script hooks that hit pain points: "Craving escape? This book's your portal." Paired with UGC from ARCs, one client hit viral status overnight.  

Professionals: Leverage this for your catalog. We handle scripting, trends, and analytics.  

Pro tip: Test 3 hooks weekly—track engagement spikes.  
- **CTA:** Message "TIKTOK" for a custom hook template.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** The $10k mistake: Ignoring email lists pre-launch.  
- **BODY:** Authors pour into Amazon ads but skip the owned audience. Result? Volatile sales.  

Smart publishers build lists early: Free chapter magnets, nurture sequences. Our strategy? 2k subscribers pre-launch = guaranteed week-one surge.  

Case: Sarah's debut hit top 100 with a 30% open-rate funnel we built.  

Build yours: Start with a reader survey today. Sustainable growth beats hype.  
- **CTA:** Connect and reply "LIST" for survey template.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** B2B book marketing: Why agencies outperform solo efforts 7x.  
- **BODY:** Solo authors juggle writing + promo = burnout + mediocre ROI. Agencies integrate: SEO-optimized Amazon pages, cross-platform synergy.  

Crimson Leaf's data: Clients average 7x sales velocity vs. DIY. We audit, strategize, execute.  

For publishers: Scale teams with our white-label services. Value add: Monthly ROI dashboards.  

Insight: Prioritize LTV over launch spikes.  
- **CTA:** Schedule a 15-min agency audit call.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Quote that pays: "Marketing is the sequel to your book."  
- **BODY:** Your manuscript ends at "The End." Marketing starts the revenue arc.  

We craft narratives that sell: From LinkedIn thought leadership to Instagram stories driving pre-orders.  

Real win: Alex's sci-fi series—multi-book funnel netted 6 figures.  

Execs & authors: Invest in sequels that compound. Free resource inside.  
- **CTA:** Comment "QUOTE" for full playbook.

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

- **Tweet 1:** Authors: Your book won't sell itself. 90% flop under 100 copies. Here's the 8-step fix that 10x'd our clients. Thread 🧵 #BookMarketing  
- **Tweet 2:** Step 1: Audience audit. Who buys your genre? Not "everyone." Pinpoint via Goodreads + surveys. Skip = dead launch.  
- **Tweet 3:** Step 2: Pre-launch buzz. ARCs to 50 superfans 60 days out. Goal: 20 reviews day one. Amazon algo loves it.  
- **Tweet 4:** Step 3: Hook formulas. Ditch "Buy my book." Use: "Tired of [pain]? This ends it." Test 3 variants.  
- **Tweet 5:** Step 4: TikTok/Reels daily. 15s hooks > long posts. Viral = sales spike. We scripted one to 1M views.  
- **Tweet 6:** Step 5: Email fortress. Free chapter → nurture → launch alert. 30% open rates = reliable revenue.  
- **Tweet 7:** Step 6: Paid precision. Amazon + FB ads to lookalikes of top sellers. Not spray-and-pray.  
- **Tweet 8:** Step 7: Track weekly. Engagement → sales dashboard. Pivot fast.  
- **Tweet 9:** Step 8: Scale winners. Final tweet: DM "FIX" for your free personalized audit. Crimson Leaf turns pages into paychecks. #IndieAuthor https://crimsonleafmarketing.com/audit
