The Sprint Plan

Hour-by-Hour Battle Plan

Every action timed. Every message ready. Execute this and 95% of launches won't touch you.

🚀
LAUNCH
Go Live
Book live. WhatsApp blast. Email list. Social posts fire simultaneously.
💬
HOUR 1
Personal DMs
Send 20 personal WhatsApp messages to your warmest supporters. Not a group blast.
📸
HOUR 3
Go Live
Instagram/YouTube Live. Read first chapter. Ask audience to buy + review today.
HOUR 12
First Reviews
Your ARC readers post. Share every review as a Story. Social proof snowballs.
🔁
HOUR 24
Follow-Up
Check who opened email but didn't buy. Send a personal follow-up — not a template.
🏆
HOUR 48
Last Call
Final push: "Price goes up tonight." Urgency email. Status update. 20–30% of revenue.
Before Launch

The ARC Strategy: Go Live With Reviews

ARC Reader Funnel
Ask 50 People to be ARC Readers
40 Say Yes
30 Read the Book
20 Review
10+ Live Day 1
  • 📅
    Start 4 Weeks Before Launch
    Give ARC readers enough time to actually finish the book. 3 weeks to read, 1 week to post.
  • 🎯
    Target Readers, Not Just Friends
    Find ARC readers in Facebook groups: "Indian Book Bloggers", "Kindle Readers India", Goodreads India.
  • 💌
    Send a Personal PDF or Kindle Copy
    Never share a Google Drive link to everyone. Individual sends feel exclusive and create obligation.
  • Remind Them 3 Days Before
    "Your review goes live with the book on [date]. You'll be one of the first voices the world hears."
  • 🌟
    10 Reviews on Day 1 = Double Sales
    Amazon's algorithm rewards books with early review velocity. This is the single highest-ROI action pre-launch.
Why Reviews = Money
