+## OBJECTIVE
+Achieve 1,000 verified sales of "Echoes of Eternity" (YA fantasy novel by Alex Rivera about a teen girl's magical self-discovery journey) via TikTok-driven traffic within 90 days, tracked through BookLinker affiliate links converting to Amazon/KDP sales.
+
+## TARGET AUDIENCE
+- **Primary segment**: Females aged 18-24 on TikTok; BookTok enthusiasts in the awareness-to-consideration buying stage; emotionally craving escapist stories of empowerment amid real-life stress (post-college transition, quarter-life crisis).
+- **Key insight**: They need to feel an instant emotional spark from short, visually hypnotic videos teasing the book's "magic mirror" trope (protagonist discovers hidden powers via a cursed family heirloom), prompting "add to cart" via FOMO-driven urgency like "Unlock your power before the launch vanishes."
+
+## TACTICAL PLAN
+- **STEP**: Research and compile 50 BookTok influencer profiles (10k-50k followers) matching #BookTok #YAFantasy hashtags with 5%+ engagement on similar magic-themed content.  
+  **OWNER**: Agency strategist (Leo).  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 1-3 (pre-launch phase).  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok Creator Marketplace + HypeAuditor for analytics.
+
+- **STEP**: Create and schedule 30 organic TikTok videos (15-30s each) using duets/stitch trends like #FantasyBookRecs, featuring unboxing of ARC copies, "what if your mirror showed your powers?" hooks tied to book's heirloom theme.  
+  **OWNER**: Author + VA editor.  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 4-14 (teaser phase), posting 2x/day.  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok app + CapCut for editing.
+
+- **STEP**: Launch $5k TikTok Spark Ads boosting top 10 organic videos to cold audiences (interests: #BookTok, Sarah J. Maas, Colleen Hoover; lookalikes from author's email list).  
+  **OWNER**: Agency media buyer.  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 15-45 (launch phase), optimize weekly.  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok Ads Manager.
+
+- **STEP**: Outreach to 20 mid-tier BookTok influencers for paid reviews (gifting ARCs + $50-200 fee), requiring video posts with custom swipe-up to BookLinker pre-order page.  
+  **OWNER**: VA coordinator.  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 20-60 (amplification phase).  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: Aspire.io for influencer CRM + BookFunnel for ARC delivery.
+
+- **STEP**: Run weekly live TikTok sessions (author Q&A on book themes like self-discovery magic) with pinned BookLinker link, cross-promote to Instagram Reels.  
+  **OWNER**: Author.  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 30-90 (sustain phase), every Wednesday 8pm EST.  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok Live + Linktree for bio links.
+
+- **STEP**: Retarget ad warm audiences (video viewers >50%) with urgency carousels showing "3 days left to pre-order bonus chapter."  
+  **OWNER**: Agency media buyer.  
+  **TIMELINE**: Days 60-90 (conversion phase).  
+  **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok Ads Manager pixel on BookLinker landing page.
+
+## CONTENT REQUIREMENTS
+- **TikTok Video Series (30 videos)**: 15-30s vertical video; 100-150 characters overlay text; TikTok; VA films/edits, author on-camera narrating hooks.
+- **Influencer Brief Template**: 1-page Google Doc; 400 words; email/DM; agency writes, includes script: "Show ARC unboxing, read page 47 heirloom scene, end with 'Link in bio to pre-order'."
+- **Spark Ad Creatives (10 variants)**: 15s video + static image; <80 characters headline; TikTok Ads; agency designer via Canva Pro.
+- **Live Session Script**: 500 words outline; TikTok pinned comment; author writes, VA formats.
+- **Retargeting Carousel**: 5-image swipe (cover, quote, bonus tease); 20 words/slide; TikTok Ads; agency creates.
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+- **TikTok Traffic to BookLinker**: Measure via UTM-tagged clicks in TikTok Analytics + Google Analytics; baseline 0, 90-day target 50,000.
+- **Attributed Sales**: Track conversions from BookLinker dashboard (Amazon KDP reports); baseline 0, 90-day target 1,000.
+- **ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)**: Calculate sales revenue / ad spend via TikTok Pixel + BookLinker data; baseline N/A, 90-day target 3x.
+
+## RISK & MITIGATION
+- **Risk 1: Low TikTok algorithm pickup due to new account**: Seed with 5 days of daily posting and $100/day warm-up ads before scaling to build social proof.
+- **Risk 2: Influencer no-shows or mismatched content**: Require 50% video draft approval before payment via Aspire.io contracts with clear book-theme guidelines.
+
+## BUDGET ESTIMATE
+$7,500-$12,000 (low: organic-heavy; high: aggressive influencer scale); single biggest cost driver: TikTok Spark Ads at $5,000-$8,000.
