+## OBJECTIVE
+Achieve 5,000 verified book sales on Amazon within 90 days for "Whispers of the Heart" by Jane Doe (contemporary romance novel about second-chance love in a small coastal town), measured via Amazon KDP sales dashboard, representing a 500% lift from the current baseline of 1,000 lifetime sales.
+
+## TARGET AUDIENCE
+- **Primary segment**: Women aged 25-45, active on TikTok (BookTok community) and Facebook Groups, in the "aware but not committed" buying stage (have read 3+ similar romances in past 6 months like Colleen Hoover's titles), feeling emotionally fatigued from busy lives but craving escapist "happily ever after" stories.
+- **Key insight**: They need to feel an instant emotional pull through relatable "second-chance" tropes and FOMO from viral unboxing videos to impulse-click "Buy Now" on Amazon.
+
+## TACTICAL PLAN
+- **STEP**: Research and select 50 high-engagement BookTok hashtags (#BookTokRomance, #SecondChanceRomance, #CoastalRomance) and 20 Facebook Groups (e.g., "Romance Bookworms," "Kindle Unlimited Addicts") with 10k+ members; compile list of 100 micro-influencers (5k-50k followers) via TikTok search and Influencer Marketing Hub.
+  - **OWNER**: Agency strategist

+  - **TOOL/PLATFORM**: Google Forms for tracking, Hunter.io for emails, Canva for ARC covers

+  - **OWNER**: Agency
+  - **TIMELINE**: Weeks 2-12 (Growth Phase)
+  - **TOOL/PLATFORM**: Amazon Advertising Console
+- **STEP**: Post daily in 10 targeted Facebook Groups with "What’s your second-chance love story?" polls linking to Amazon page; monitor and reply to all comments.
+  - **OWNER**: Agency VA
+  - **TIMELINE**: Weeks 3-12 (Sustain Phase)
+  - **TOOL/PLATFORM**: Facebook Groups app, Hootsuite for scheduling
+- **STEP**: Analyze weekly performance in shared dashboard; pivot budget to top 3 performing ads/influencers (e.g., pause under 2% CTR).

+
+## RISK & MITIGATION

+
+## BUDGET ESTIMATE
+$2,500-$4,000 (low/high); single biggest cost driver: TikTok Ads ($1,500-$2,500 at $0.50-$1.00 CPM for 3M impressions).
