## TIKTOK / REELS (5 concepts)

### Concept 1
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "Your book launch bombed? Watch this." (on-screen text flashes sales graph crashing)  
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: Fast-cut montage: Common mistakes (bad cover, no hooks) with red X's, then green checks on fixes (pro cover reveal, viral Reel demo). End with sales spike animation. Upbeat music.  
- **CTA**: "Link in bio for free launch checklist—do it now!"

### Concept 2
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "Authors, stop this NOW." (zoom on "weak blurb" text)  
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: Act out reading terrible blurbs vs. pro ones; split-screen reactions (bored vs. hooked). Quick tip overlay: "Promise transformation." Dance transition to agency results stats.  
- **CTA**: "Comment your blurb—I'll roast/fix it!"

### Concept 3
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "TikTok sold my book—here's how." (book flying off shelf effect)  
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: Screen record of viral Reel creation: Hook script, trending sound, author test. Show view-to-sale funnel. Text pops: "10K views = 200 sales."  
- **CTA**: "Duet this with your book hook!"

### Concept 4
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "Ads costing more than they earn?" (money burning animation)  
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: Puppet show: Bad ad (generic) flops, good ad (targeted hook) explodes. Reveal 3 tweaks. End with ROI chart.  
- **CTA**: "Save & share—DM 'ADS' for template."

### Concept 5
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "Indie authors: This changes everything." (lightbulb smash to book icon)  
- **VIDEO CONCEPT**: "Day in the life" at agency: Brainstorm, client call, results reveal. Quick tips interspersed. Energetic cuts, author voiceover.  
- **CTA**: "Follow for weekly hacks—turn on post notifs!"

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE**: 90% of book launches fail—not because of the writing, but this overlooked step.  
- **BODY**: Authors pour years into manuscripts, only to face radio silence post-launch. The culprit? Fragmented audience building.  

We've seen it repeatedly: Indies skipping pre-launch newsletters end up with 50 sales max. Build a 1K-subscriber list first via lead magnets like "5 Hook Templates."  

One client went from 100 to 5K units by nurturing that list weekly. Value-first emails convert 8x better than cold ads.  

Platform algorithms reward consistency—start small, scale smart.  
- **CTA**: Connect and message "LIST" for the template pack.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE**: Your book cover is your silent salesperson—yet most authors treat it like an afterthought.  
- **BODY**: In a sea of thumbnails, covers with weak hierarchy get scrolled. Data shows pro designs lift click-through 40%.  

Break it down: Bold title (60% of visual real estate), emotional imagery, genre cues. A/B test via Facebook groups before finalizing.  

For our thriller client, a redesign spiked Amazon ranks overnight. Don't DIY if sales are stalled—audit yours.  

Invest here, watch the compound effect.  
- **CTA**: Comment your ASIN for a free cover score.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE**: TikTok isn't just for dances—it's closing 20% of indie book sales.  
- **BODY**: Short-form video dominates discovery. Authors ignoring it miss 70% of Gen Z readers.  

Hook in 3 seconds: Problem + tease solution. Trending audio + text overlays = viral. Track with UTM links.  

Case: Romance author hit 50K views, 1K sales in a week. Replicate with batching—film 10 in an hour.  

Algorithm favors niches—lean in.  
- **CTA**: DM "REELS" for our 5 proven scripts.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE**: Amazon ads bleeding budget? The fix isn't pausing—it's this targeting tweak.  
- **BODY**: Broad keywords waste 80% of spend. Laser-focus on "also-boughts" and competitor ASINs for 3x ACOS drop.  

Layer with negative keywords (e.g., "free"). Bid low, scale winners. Our agency averages 4:1 ROI.  

One nonfiction author cut costs 60% while doubling impressions. Tools like Helium 10 accelerate this.  

Precision over volume.  
- **CTA**: Book a 15-min audit via Calendly link.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE**: Reviews aren't luck—they're engineered. Unlock 5-star floods without begging.  
- **BODY**: Post-purchase emails with ARC swaps convert 25%. Stack Goodreads/Amazon for social proof halo.  

Incentivize via bonuses (e.g., "Review for workbook"). Monitor with BookReport.  

Client example: From 10 to 150 reviews in 30 days, ranks soared. Compliance-first always.  

Momentum builds authority.
