## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** 80% of book launches fail—not because of writing, but marketing gaps.  
- **BODY:** Authors pour years into their manuscripts, only to see them buried in algorithms. The fix? A proven funnel: Pre-launch buzz via ARCs, targeted ads hitting reader personas, and post-launch email nurtures.  

We've helped 50+ indie authors hit 4-figures in first-month sales by bridging that gap. No hype—just data-driven plays.  

If your last launch underperformed, it's not you. It's the strategy.  
- **CTA:** Connect and message "AUDIT" for a free funnel review.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** TikTok isn't just for dances—it's a goldmine for book sales.  
- **BODY:** Short-form video drives 5x engagement over static posts. We craft 15-second hooks that funnel viewers to Amazon.  

One client: Fantasy series went from 200 to 2,500 sales via Reels alone. The formula? Relatable author stories + urgency CTAs.  

Publishers take note: This scales for backlist too. Value comes from testing what resonates with your genre's audience.  
- **CTA:** Comment your genre for a custom Reel idea.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** Email lists beat social algorithms every time for authors.  
- **BODY:** Social platforms change rules overnight. Your list? Owned asset converting at 20-30%.  

Build it pre-launch with lead magnets (chapter samples, tips PDFs). Nurture with value, sell with scarcity. Our campaigns average 15% open-to-sale.  

For hybrid authors juggling pen names, segmented lists multiply ROI. Sustainable growth starts here.  
- **CTA:** Download our free list-building playbook via link.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** Behind Amazon KDP: 3 underused tools spiking royalties.  
- **BODY:** Beyond keywords, leverage A+ content, Look Inside optimization, and Vine reviews. We audit and implement for 25% uplift.  

Paired with off-platform traffic (our ads + podcasts), it's a revenue machine. One nonfiction author doubled royalties in Q1.  

Pros focus on systems. Amateurs chase trends.  
- **CTA:** Share this if it sparked an idea—let's discuss yours.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Authors: Your cover sells the click, copy seals the sale.  
- **BODY:** 70% of buyers read blurbs first. Weak copy = lost impulse buys. We A/B test hooks that convert browsers to buyers.  

Example: "In a world of shadows..." vs. "She had 24 hours to save her family—or watch them burn." Second wins 40% more.  

Agency edge: Genre-specific swipe files + psych triggers. Scale your launches effortlessly.  
- **CTA:** Message "COPY" for a free blurb audit.
