What You Need to Do
These are the two platform setups we need from your side before we can post directly. Both take under 10 minutes each.
01
Create a TikTok Account
Download TikTok, create your account, then go to Settings → Manage Account → Switch to Business Account. Choose the Books & Literature or Entertainment category. Once done, share your TikTok username so we can request Editor access and begin posting directly.
→ Share username when ready
02
Create a YouTube Channel
Go to youtube.com, sign in with a Google account, and create a channel under N.S. Wikarski or your preferred brand name. Then go to Settings → Permissions → Invite and add powerpages30@gmail.com as an Editor so we can upload and manage videos directly.
→ Invite: powerpages30@gmail.com
03
Review Your Photos
Head to the Photo Albums tab and open both albums in Google Photos. If any image feels off-brand — wrong mood, too modern, inconsistent with the book's atmosphere — leave a comment directly on that photo. We check albums regularly and will swap images before videos are finalized.
→ Go to Photo Albums tab
04
Approve Content Calendar
Review the 15 video hooks and voiceover scripts in the Content Calendar tab. Let us know if any angle doesn't fit your brand voice — we can adjust scripts before production is finalized. Your input on tone and framing is important.

Your 3-Phase Growth Strategy
This is the full picture of how we grow The Granite Key from discovery to a consistent sales engine — and how we use Book 1 to drive reads across all 8 books in the Arkana series.
P1
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4
Organic Content First
We post 2–3 short-form videos per day on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The goal is to build an audience around the Arkana's themes — ancient secrets, hidden matriarchal history, coded artifacts, and conspiracy — before spending a single dollar on ads. Organic views tell the algorithm who your ideal reader is. That data is priceless for the phases ahead.
Target: 10,000–30,000 organic views in Month 1
P2
Phase 2 · After Month 1
TikTok Promote — Lookalike Expansion
Once we have organic data, we activate TikTok Promote on top-performing videos. Promote takes your real viewers and finds lookalike audiences — people with the same interests, behaviors, and demographics — at a fraction of traditional ad costs. At this stage, we're amplifying what's already working, not guessing. The Da Vinci Code comp and ancient mystery angle are proven engagement drivers at scale.
Typical CPM at this stage: $3–6 · Activates after Month 1
P3
Phase 3 · Ongoing
Amazon DSP — Direct Retargeting to Book Page
This is the highest-leverage phase. Amazon DSP lets us place display ads directly in front of people who have already seen your TikTok or YouTube content — and send them straight to your Amazon book page. DSP closes the loop between discovery and purchase.
Without DSP, video views don't reliably convert to sales. With DSP retargeting, every view becomes a second touchpoint on the exact platform where readers buy. Because we've built a content-warmed audience first, your DSP CPM drops dramatically: from the standard $10 CPM cold to around $2 CPM — 80% cheaper and far more targeted.

DSP CPM: ~$2 (vs $10 cold) · Content-first advantage
Why This Order Matters
Without Content First
Cold DSP costs $8–12 CPM. You're targeting anonymous audiences with no prior exposure. Conversion rates are low. Budget burns fast. The 8-book series advantage is wasted.
With Content First (Our Approach)
Warm DSP retargeting costs ~$2 CPM. Audiences already know The Granite Key. They've seen the hook. DSP closes the loop and sends them to buy — or binge the whole series.
The Series Multiplier
A reader who discovers Book 1 organically, gets retargeted on Amazon, and buys — will very likely go on to read Books 2–8. Every acquisition pays out across the full Arkana catalog.
