- **CTA**: "Comment your myth for truth."

### Concept 3
- **HOOK (first 3 seconds)**: "BTS: How we 10x launches." (Zoom into whiteboard)

- **HEADLINE**: Most book launches fail at visibility—not quality.  
- **BODY**: Authors pour years into crafting stories, yet 90% sell fewer than 250 copies. The gap? Strategic audience mapping.  

We've audited 100+ launches at Crimson Leaf Marketing. Top issue: Broad targeting wastes ad dollars on non-readers. Solution: Hyper-niche personas (e.g., "cozy mystery fans aged 35-55 who love tea-time escapes").  

Result for client thriller author: 3x ROI on Facebook ads, 800+ sales Week 1. Data over intuition wins.  

Value tip: Audit your last campaign's demographics today.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE**: Email lists beat social virality for sustained book sales.  
- **BODY**: Social algorithms shift daily, but owned audiences deliver 40% open rates for launches.  

At Crimson Leaf, we build pre-launch lists via lead magnets (genre-specific quizzes). One romance author grew from 200 to 5K subscribers, converting 22% to sales.  

Key: Segmented nurturing—teasers for superfans, discounts for casuals. No spam, just relevance.  

Publishers take note: This scales series too.  
- **CTA**: Download our list-builder checklist—link in comments.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE**: TikTok owns BookTok—ignore it at your peril.  
- **BODY**: 70M+ book views monthly, yet most authors post monologues. Winners use 3-second hooks tied to tropes.  

Our playbook: Script trends to your plot (e.g., "Enemies-to-lovers but make it murder"). Debut client hit 2M views, 1K sales spike.  

Pro tip: Cross-post Reels, track with UTM links. Platforms evolve—adapt or fade.  
- **CTA**: Share your BookTok handle for feedback.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE**: Reviews aren't random—they're engineered.  
- **BODY**: Amazon algo favors 50+ early reviews. We seed ARCs to 200 vetted bloggers via personalized pitches.  

Sci-fi client: 120 reviews pre-launch, category #1 hold for 3 weeks. Cost? Targeted outreach, not paid fakes.  

Ethical scaling: Track sentiment, amplify top quotes. Your book's proof is in the social proof.  
- **CTA**: Message "REVIEWS" for our ARC tracker sheet.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE**: Ad fatigue kills launches—here's the pivot.  
- **BODY**: After 7 days, CTR drops 60%. Smart agencies rotate creatives weekly.  

Crimson Leaf tests 10 hooks per genre, scaling winners. Nonfic client: $0.27 CPC, 4K conversions.  

Framework: A/B visuals (covers vs. quotes), retarget warm traffic. Measure LTV, not just clicks.  
- **CTA**: Book a 15-min strategy call via Calendly link.
