## STRATEGIC NOTES

**Platform Differentiation Logic:**  
- **Meta:** Emotional journey (fear → validation → scarcity). Creative matches temperature of audience.  
- **Google:** Intent matching. Group 1 captures demand; Group 2 creates category demand from streaming readers.  
- **Amazon:** Purchase-mode optimization. SP ad focuses on single-book conversion; SB ad builds author brand equity for read-through revenue.

**Headline Philosophy:**  
Every headline functions as a standalone hook. "The night she escaped changed everything" creates mystery without visual dependency. "Readers call it unputdownable" leverages herd behavior. Conversion headlines use loss aversion ("Last chance") to trigger immediate action.

**CTA Specificity:**  
Avoided vague "Learn More" in favor of "Start Reading Free" (removes friction) and "Shop Now" (command verb). Amazon copy focuses on "Addictive" and "killer twist" to trigger genre recognition algorithms and shopper curiosity.
