Marketing Pack for Authors (Hooks + 30-Day Calendar)

Answer first: A Marketing Pack is the Creator-plan kit that turns your book DNA into ready-to-post short-form assets: 5 opening hooks (~15–30s, 9:16) plus a 30-day posting calendar with TikTok, Instagram, and X captions (CSV + ICS in the app). It is for indie authors who need a posting cadence, not one trailer. Free Marketing Pack preview (Hook L1): 1 watermarked hook + first 7 calendar days. Creator is $49/mo (yearly $399). Series facts: free 1-episode preview · default ~12 episodes (6–15) · single-book $12 · AI Generated disclosure always on · operator xbookvideo LLC. Live sample: Pride and Prejudice Marketing Pack.

What is inside a Creator Marketing Pack

• 5 opening hooks — short vertical clips (~15–30 seconds, 9:16, 1080p on Creator) aimed at TikTok / Reels / Shorts.
• 30-day posting calendar — day ideas with platform captions; export CSV + ICS from the app.
• Book DNA alignment — hooks, tone, and visual style stay on-brand with the manuscript.
• Buy-link CTA template — hooks end on a “read the book” beat; paste your Amazon / store URL when you post (automatic buy-URL injection into calendar export is not shipped yet).

Who it is for

• Authors who already have (or will unlock) a book series and need daily/near-daily short posts.
• Creator-plan users posting across TikTok, Instagram, and X with consistent captions.
• Teams that want hooks + a calendar in one deliverable instead of scripting five openings by hand.

Prefer a single book without a subscription? Use the $12 single-book unlock for the series; Marketing Pack itself remains a Creator feature. Starter ($19/mo) covers series generation without the full pack.

How Hook L1 free preview works

1. Open Marketing Pack in the app (/web/app.html?tab=marketing).
2. Generate a free preview: 1 watermarked hook + the first 7 days of the calendar.
3. Judge tone and captions. Upgrade to Creator when you need all 5 hooks and the full 30-day calendar without the free-demo mark.

Separately, every book still gets a free 1-episode series preview (no credit card) before you unlock ~12 episodes (set 6–15).

How it pairs with a video series

Authors often post the full episode (成片) alongside short hooks. The public Pride and Prejudice sample pairs Episode 1 from /classics/pride-and-prejudice with five opening hooks from the same pack. Default series length is 12 episodes (configurable 6–15), vertical 9:16.
