### Post 1
- **HEADLINE**: Authors launch 100 books daily—99% vanish by week three.
- **BODY**: The data is brutal: Amazon algorithms bury unoptimized titles fast. But visibility isn't luck—it's strategy.  
  At Crimson Leaf, we start with audits uncovering blurb flaws, keyword gaps, and ad mismatches. One client saw category rank jump 500 spots in 48 hours.  
  Value comes from testing: A/B covers, targeted Facebook ads to reader lookalikes, email sequences that nurture pre-orders.  
  No vanity metrics. Just scalable sales funnels built for indie authors.  
  Sustainable growth beats spikes every time.
- **CTA**: Connect and message "AUDIT" for your free review.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE**: TikTok Reels outsell Amazon ads for 40% of our romance clients.
- **BODY**: Short-form video dominates discovery. Readers scroll for escapism, not searches.  
  We script 15-second hooks: "Enemies to lovers, but make it murder." Paired with trending audio, these convert 3x better than static posts.  
  Key? Genre-specific avatars. Thrillers get suspense builds; fantasy, world teases. Track with UTM links for ROI.  
  One debut hit 1M views, 4k sales. Replicate across platforms.  
  Authors: Test one Reel this week.
- **CTA**: Share your top Reel idea in comments.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE**: Self-pub success = 20% writing, 80% systems.
- **BODY**: Writing wows, but systems sell. Our framework: Pre-launch buzz (ARC lists), launch surge (PPC bursts), post-launch sustain (email automation).  
  Case: Non-fiction author tripled revenue via segmented nurtures—hot leads vs. warm browsers.  
  Tools matter: KDP rockets for promos, ConvertKit for lists, our custom dashboards for real-time tweaks.  
  Pros build moats. Amateurs chase trends.
- **CTA**: Download our systems checklist—link in comments.

- **CTA**: Upload your cover for quick feedback—DM it.

### Post 5

## TWITTER/X THREAD (1 thread, 9 tweets)

- **Tweet 1**: Authors: Your book launch tanks 90% of the time. Here's the 8 fixes no one tells you. Thread. 🧵 #BookTwitter #WritingCommunity

- **Tweet 2**: Fix 1: Blurbs that bore = instant bounce. Hook with stakes, not summary. "She uncovers a killer... who knows her secrets." Test 3 versions.

- **Tweet 3**: Fix 2: Ignore keywords? Amazon hides you. Research comps via Publisher Rocket. Stuff title/subtitle smartly. No spam.

- **Tweet 4**: Fix 3: Covers screaming "amateur." Hire genre pros. A/B on PickFu. 2 seconds to sell or kill.

- **Tweet 5**: Fix 4: No pre-launch buzz. Build ARC team now (100 readers). NetGalley + email swaps. Momentum > money.

- **Tweet 6**: Fix 5: Ads without targeting flop. Facebook lookalikes from buyer emails. Start $5/day, scale winners.

- **Tweet 7**: Fix 6: Social = vanity. Focus Reels/TikTok hooks. "Plot twist you won't see: [spoiler-free tease]." Virality sells.

- **Tweet 8**: Fix 7: Skip email? Dumb. Lead magnet (free chapter). Nurture to 40% open rates. Repeat buyers gold.

- **Tweet 9**: Fix 8: No post-launch plan. Promo stacks (BookBub, etc.) + reader magnets. Sustain the wave. #IndieAuthor
