## CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
- **Influencer Script Templates**: 3x Google Doc templates (150 words each), TikTok-specific (15-60s video prompts with hooks like "AI locks you in—survive or submit?"), written by Agency (Leo).
- **ARC One-Sheet**: PDF (1 page, 300 words), includes book blurb, themes, 5 hashtags (#BookTokAI, #DystopianThriller), author bio; designed in Canva by VA.
- **Author Teaser Reel**: 15s TikTok video script (100 words) + raw footage of author reading key passage; script by Agency, shot by Author on phone.
- **Ad Creatives**: 5x static images + 3x video edits (from influencer UGC), 1080x1920px, <150 chars overlay text ("Pre-order now: Link in bio"); edited in CapCut by Agency.
- **Live Event Script**: 1,000-word Google Doc outline (host intro, 3 reader polls on AI fears, call-to-action for pre-orders); written by Agency.

## SUCCESS METRICS
- **Pre-Order Sales**: Track via BookFunnel affiliate dashboard; baseline 0, 90-day target 3,000.
- **TikTok Video Views**: Sum organic + paid views on #EchoesOfEternity from TikTok Analytics; baseline 0, 90-day target 1.5M.
- **Email Opt-ins**: New subscribers from Linktree forms into ConvertKit; baseline 500 (author's list), 90-day target 10,000.

## RISK & MITIGATION
- **Risk 1**: Low influencer engagement due to saturated BookTok. **Mitigation**: Pre-vet with 70%+ dystopian content ratio via HypeAuditor and pay performance bonuses ($50 per 10k views).
- **Risk 2**: Algorithm suppression on launch day. **Mitigation**: Seed 10 organic test posts from author's account 48hrs prior to prime paid amplification.

## BUDGET ESTIMATE
$8,000-$12,000 (low/high); single biggest cost driver: Influencer fees ($150-$300 each x 20 = $4,500-$6,000).
