How does a authors brand get its UGC in front of more buyers?

Authors brands scale Instagram by owning many accounts, not one: a managed fleet of real iPhones that posts across dozens of brand-owned Instagram accounts every day, run for you from one dashboard.

Twenty owned accounts is twenty times the daily at-bats, each into a pocket — nonfiction, fiction, self-help, business, memoir, poetry. The same content library gets many more shots and the winners compound. The idea that sells the book reaches your existing readers instead of new ones — until the fleet changes the arithmetic.

The number you watch

List signups per week falls as owned reach grows, because owned accounts don't re-charge per impression. TIDE runs the fleet of real iPhones; you watch the metric move.
