Stop Writing Reader Magnets That Don’t Sell Books.

The Reader Magnet Factory is a Claude Desktop skill that analyzes your catalog or manuscript, recommends the best magnet strategy for your genre, writes the complete reader magnet, creates platform-ready landing page copy, writes the delivery email, and drafts a 3-email welcome sequence that bridges to your paid catalog. The entire newsletter top-of-funnel — created in one session, voice-matched to your pen name.

No more reader magnets that sit in a subscriber’s inbox unread. No more welcome emails that sound like a robot. No more landing pages that don’t convert. No more email sequences that never actually mention your books. This skill creates every piece of the funnel and makes sure they all connect — magnet to emails to purchase.

How It Works

Step 1: Answer 8 questions.

1. Source Material — Upload a manuscript, describe your catalog, upload an outline, or just tell me the genre and premise
2. Genre — Romance, dark romance, cozy mystery, thriller, UF, horror, cozy fantasy, romantasy, historical romance, sci-fi, women’s fiction, or other
3. Voice — Upload published books for voice matching, describe the tone, or let the skill develop a voice for you
4. Goal — Grow from zero, convert browsers, pre-launch buzz, re-engage cold subs, or cross-pollinate pen names
5. Distribution Platform — BookFunnel, StoryOrigin, direct download, or not sure
6. Email Platform — MailerLite, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, other, or don’t have one yet
7. Series or Standalone — Existing series, planned series, standalone book, or pen name general
8. Magnet Length — Short (2-5k), medium (5-15k), full novella (15-25k), non-fiction reference, or you recommend

Step 2: The skill recommends 3 magnet strategies ranked by effectiveness — with title, premise, why it works, and how it connects to your paid catalog. You pick one.

Step 3: Everything gets written. The magnet. The landing page. The emails. The strategy document.

The Funnel Integrity System

Six rules that prevent disconnected content:

1. Every Piece Connects to the Next — Magnet → delivery email → connection email → value email → catalog email. Each link pulls the reader forward. No dead ends.
2. Voice Match Is Non-Negotiable — The magnet, landing page, and every email sound like the same person who wrote the books. Not “newsletter voice.” YOUR voice.
3. The Magnet Serves the Catalog — Features characters, world elements, or themes from the paid books. Creates desire for more without withholding or cliff-hanging.
4. Genre Expectations Drive Everything — What works in romance fails in horror. Cozy mystery readers want recipes. Dark romance readers want origin stories. The skill knows the difference.
5. The Emails Escalate — Delivery → connection → value → catalog. Each email asks for slightly more investment. The purchase mention grows from casual reference to guided catalog tour.
6. The Landing Page Converts — Passes the 3-second test: what they get, that it’s free, that it’s for them. One action per page. Genre-signaled. Mobile-first.
