Don’t spend two minutes on the marketing. Here are the 5 non-negotiables for a 6-figure book launch. 🧵 -* **Tweet 2:** 1/ Run your pre-orders early. Not to get sales, but to train the algorithm. Amazon needs to know exactly who your reader is before Day 1. -* **Tweet 3:** 2/ Your "blurb" isn't a summary. It's an ad. If it doesn't have a hook, a crisis, and a cliffhanger, it's failing you. -* **Tweet 4:** 3/ Build an ARC (Advance Review Copy) team that actually cares. 100 engaged readers are worth more than 1,000 bots. -* **Tweet 5:** 4/ Metadata is your silent salesperson.
