- **HEADLINE:** Indie authors: Why 80% of launches fail (and the fix).  
- **BODY:** Most book launches flop because authors treat marketing like an afterthought. They write a great book, slap on a cover, and pray for Amazon magic. Reality? Without targeted outreach, even gems gather dust.  

  We've audited 200+ campaigns at Crimson Leaf. Common killer: Ignoring reader psychographics. Fantasy fans don't buy like romance readers—tailor your funnels or lose.  

  Our pivot? Pre-launch reader magnets in niche communities. One client saw 3x ROI in week one. Value comes from precision, not volume.

- **HEADLINE:** Book covers aren't art—they're sales machines.  
- **BODY:** A pro cover isn't "pretty." It's a 3-second sales pitch converting scrolls to clicks. Data shows genre-matched designs lift sales 40%.  

  Pitfall: Authors DIY with stock vibes. Fix: Heatmap-tested thumbnails optimized for mobile.  

  We've redesigned 150+—average uplift: 2.5x impressions. Pair with ARC lists, and you're unstoppable.
