Strong Openings, Real Characters, and Plot That Hooks

Stop over describing let your dialogue do the work

Always ask: “What does my character want right now?”

Conflict > worldbuilding. Especially in chapter one.

Your blurb is part of the writing. Nail that, too.

Sell Without Screaming “Buy My Book"

Readers don’t want ads. They want curiosity.

Post from your character’s POV

Use cliffhanger lines in your TikToks and captions

Use AI to Save Time, Not Sound Robotic

Use ChatGPT to brainstorm tropes, not write your whole book

ElevenLabs for AI voiceovers: clean, human, cheap

Canva + AI = killer quote graphics in minutes

AI doesn’t replace your voice. It helps you amplify it.

📍 All our Book Pulse videos are AI-assisted — and author-approved.

Hook, Deliver, CTA — That's the Formula

First line = shock, question, or secret

Don’t explain — intrigue

Use bold on-screen text. Always vertical. Always short.

CTA at the end: “Want more? Follow. Want help? Click.”
