Reader Magnet Ad (romance)
I'm doing the cold reader magnet to get emails thing. It's a prequel novella about a couple that already is together when the series starts. I did 1 week of a FB ad from memory just to get the thing out there. I got 82 new subscribers. Then I had time to rewatch Mal's video and made a new ad (this time with my meta pixel done correctly, got it as a lead ad instead of website traffic, etc) and this week I've had 126 new subscribers and still another day to go for a true comparison. So anyway, yay, thanks! But my question is, how long should I run it? The 2nd book in the series releases next Thursday 5/21. I'm spending $5/day. Should I come up with a target number of emails and stop when I hit it? Or maybe a month now, then in a couple months, do it again? Thanks!

10,000! Wow! I hadn't even imagined getting that high. I'm at 790 so I'll keep going. I'm all about the shift 😁 And now that 10,000 is in my head, I really want to get it lol. Thanks!
How to take advantage of an organically successful reel?
I had a reel that lost its mind on Thanksgiving and went from 5k views that day to 35k views. It's now at 90k. It was awesome. I sold a lot of books and I didn't spend any money to do it. If only that could happen every day lol. Is there a way to take advantage of that somehow? Like send an ad to the same audience? Or should I try the advantage audience thing since FB found my people them pretty well from the reel? Thanks!

@Cara Dion Hey, good to see you! This is the link if it helps https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17ohKYcw8D/ I think I picked the right scene and then got lucky with timing. I've been studying other people's reels and tik toks, so I also tried to mimic the current style (and what gets me to buy). I added the music in the facebook app, so that could have helped as well if the song was trending or whatever. I'd heard advice to use the scenes/microtropes that your readers expect/love for your subgenre. So this one is a microtrope where the MMC puts his cut (leather vest) on the FMC. Not a required scene for motorcycle club romance, but definitely a much loved microtrope.
