### Concept 2

## LINKEDIN (5 posts)

### Post 1
- **HEADLINE:** 92% of books sell fewer than 1,000 copies. Here's why yours won't.
- **BODY:**  
Most authors pour everything into writing, then wing the launch. Result? Crickets.  

The data is brutal: Amazon algorithms favor momentum, not quality alone. Without a pre-launch social strategy, your book vanishes in 48 hours.  

At Crimson Leaf, we reverse-engineer virality. For client Elena R.'s memoir, we built 10K email list subscribers pre-launch via LinkedIn carousels and targeted groups. Launch week: #1 in 3 categories.  

Value first: Audit your current setup against our 7-point checklist (DM for it). Marketing isn't luck—it's systems.  
- **CTA:** Connect and message "CHECKLIST" for the free download.

### Post 2
- **HEADLINE:** TikTok changed book sales forever. Are you still ignoring it?
- **BODY:**  
Platforms evolve, but authors lag. TikTok's #BookTok drove $1B+ in sales last year—yet 80% of indies have zero presence.  

Why? Fear of video. Our fix: 15-second hooks tailored to your genre. One thriller client hit 2M views, converting 5% to sales.  

Break it down: Hook (3s), story tease (10s), CTA swipe-up. We handle scripting, filming, ads.  

Pro tip: Cross-post to Reels for 2x reach. Scale your audience without scaling effort.  
- **CTA:** Comment your genre; I'll reply with a custom hook idea.

### Post 3
- **HEADLINE:** The $10K mistake every debut author makes.
- **BODY:**  
Generic ads. Broad targeting. Wasted budget.  

Precision wins: We segment by reader psychographics—book club enthusiasts for fiction, niche pros for nonfic. ROI? 4x average.  

Case: Nonfiction author's launch recovered $15K ad spend in week 1 via lookalike audiences from their email list.  

Build yours: Start with a reader survey (template in comments). Then automate.  

Authors, treat marketing like your outline—structured, iterative, results-driven.  
- **CTA:** Download our ad blueprint via link in comments.

### Post 4
- **HEADLINE:** From 47 sales to bestseller: One author's pivot.
- **BODY:**  
John's fantasy epic debuted flat. Diagnosis: No social proof loop.  

Solution: Review amplification campaigns. We seeded 50 ARC readers, turned quotes into IG carousels + LinkedIn shares. Snowballed to 500+ reviews.  

Key: Low-friction asks (e.g., "1-sentence thought?"). Result: Category dominance.  

For you: Map your ARC strategy now. We consult on yours for free.  

Publishing pros know: Visibility compounds.  
- **CTA:** Book a 15-min strategy call via Calendly link.

### Post 5
- **HEADLINE:** Email lists are dead? Wrong—here's the 2024 multiplier.
- **BODY:**  
Open rates tanked? Blame boring newsletters.  

Hybrid model: Social funnels to email. Our clients nurture 20-30% openers with serialized bonuses (ch. 0 excerpts). Conversion: 15% to sales.  

Example: Romance series author grew list 3K in launch month, hit backlist bump.  

Tactic: Lead magnet = "Your Genre's Viral Blueprint." Test ours.  

Authors scaling? Email is your moat.  
- **CTA:** Reply "LIST" for the lead magnet template.
