## OBJECTIVE
Drive 3,000 verified sales of "Midlife Momentum: Reinventing Your Career After 40" by Dr. Elena Vasquez (a self-help book for mid-career professionals seeking purposeful pivots) within 90 days post-launch (target date: Oct 1, 2024), measured via BookFunnel redemption codes tied to ad traffic and email opens.

## TARGET AUDIENCE
- **Primary segment**: Women aged 40-55, mid-to-senior professionals (managers/executives in tech/finance), active on LinkedIn (daily users) and Facebook Groups (career transition communities like "Women in Tech Over 40"), emotionally frustrated/stuck in unfulfilling jobs (burnout phase), in the awareness-to-consideration buying stage (browsing LinkedIn articles/podcasts on career change).
- **Key insight**: They need to see relatable "before/after" stories from peers who pivoted successfully (e.g., corporate lawyer to consultant) to feel empowered and reduce fear of change, triggering a "this could be me" emotional click to buy.

## TACTICAL PLAN
- **STEP**: Research and segment audience using LinkedIn Sales Navigator (filter: job titles like "Program Manager" + "Senior Director", interests "career coaching", location US urban areas) and Facebook Audience Insights (lookalikes from Dr. Vasquez's email list).

## SUCCESS METRICS
- **ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)**: Track revenue from BookFunnel codes vs. ad spend in Facebook/LinkedIn dashboards; baseline 1.5x, 90-day target 4x.
- **Email Opt-ins**: Count unique signups via ConvertKit; baseline 500, 90-day target 4,000.
- **Book Sales**: Verified redemptions in BookFunnel dashboard (tied to promo codes); baseline 0, 90-day target 3,000.

## RISK & MITIGATION
- **Risk 1: Ad platform algorithm changes reduce reach (e.g., iOS privacy updates)**: Mitigation: Allocate 20% budget to organic LinkedIn posts and diversify to TikTok career shorts as backup channel starting Week 4.
- **Risk 2: Low conversion from leads due to audience mismatch**: Mitigation: Run A/B tests on 2 ad variants in Week 2, using pixel data to refine targeting before scaling.

## BUDGET ESTIMATE
$4,000-$7,500 (low/high); single biggest cost driver: LinkedIn ad spend ($2,500-$4,000 at $8-$12 CPM for premium audience).
