This Week's Action Plan

Prioritized tasks to move the business forward this week. Complete in order.

🔴 Priority 1 — Inventory & TikTok Launch
🟡 Priority 2 — Website Store
🟢 Priority 3 — Content & Social
TikTok Playbook Progress
AIA TikTok Playbook — beta access, ~50% complete. Currently at: copy viral content in genre and post consistently.
Current playbook step: Find 3–5 top viral videos in your genre. Replicate the format, hook, and editing style — not the content. Post daily. Study what gets views.

TikTok Shop note: Home delivery for now. Keep orders local/manageable. List TRE first (best story for TikTok). WWIIVGH + FTS next.

Complete Asset Inventory

Every product, tool, and resource — where it lives and how it sells.

Sales Channels

Where Flight Tower Books products are sold and current status of each channel.

Amazon KDP
Primary print + Kindle channel
Live. WWIIVGH and TRE both available in paperback + Kindle. FTS paperback only (Amazon no-digital policy for coloring books).

This week: Order author copies of WWIIVGH, TRE, and FTS for TikTok Shop inventory.
The Horizon — Website Store
flighttowerbooks.com · Shopify
Live but incomplete. Well set up except for bundles. Digital FTS and THNC are live. Free vault is live with GA + tools.

Pending: Create product bundles (e.g. VG + TRE, complete library bundle). Make product ads per item. Shopify connected but barely configured.
TikTok Shop
Home delivery · one-person operation
Ready to list — awaiting inventory. Home delivery for now. Keep order volume manageable.

Launch order: 1) TRE paperback → 2) WWIIVGH → 3) FTS paperback
Action: Once inventory arrives, film product walkthrough + list on TikTok Shop. Make separate short-form product ads for each book.
Samcart
Checkout pages + affiliate center
Partial setup. A few checkout pages made. Affiliate center created with 5 people (currently friends, not active affiliates).

Priority level: Low for now — build out after TikTok and website are generating consistent traffic. Come back to Samcart when you have real buyers to convert to affiliates.
Shopify
Connected to website
Minimal setup. Connected to the website. Almost nothing else configured.

Recommendation: Leave as-is until TikTok and Amazon are humming. Then use Shopify for physical product fulfillment as order volume grows.
