From now until Christmas, a lot of the people who find your book won't be buying it for themselves. They'll be buying it for their dad, their mum, their partner, their best friend, their Secret Santa. And most book videos don't speak to them. A normal hook is written for a reader. A gift buyer is asking a different question: "Who would love this?" So we built gift videos. 🎁 HOW IT WORKS When you make a video, Sonder asks one extra question: "Is this a gift video?" Say yes, then pick: 👤 Who it's for: Dad, Mum, Partner, Friend, Teen, Kid, Colleague / Secret Santa, Themselves, or let Sonder pick 📅 The occasion: Any gift, Black Friday, The holidays, or Christmas Sonder rewrites your opening hook and your call to action for someone buying your book as a present. The story in the middle stays exactly the same. Here's a real one from Last Man Out (for Dad, Christmas): 🎄 Hook: "Stuck on something small but real for your dad this Christmas? Ron Wade sat in front of three former Royal Flying Corps pilots and nearly talked his way out of the war before it started." 🎁 Call to action: "Ronald M Wade's full story is in Last Man Out, and your dad's going to want every page of it under the tree this year. The link's in the bio. Go get it for him." Same book, same story, but now it's selling a present. (Screenshots below.) THE DETAILS ✅ Works on Viral Script, Slideshow, POV, Quick Reaction Hook and Person on camera ✅ Pick Christmas and it uses Christmas words. Black Friday, The holidays and Any gift stay neutral, so they work for Hanukkah, New Year and everyone else on your readers' lists ✅ The ending you approve is the ending you get ✅ On every plan, October to December only. Not for you? Tick "Never ask me again" and it's gone WHY BE A BETA TESTER It goes live for everyone next week. Beta testers get it now, which means: 1️⃣ Your gift videos are posted and building views before the Black Friday rush, not during it 2️⃣ You shape the final version every customer gets. If a hook feels off for your genre, you tell me and we fix it

Hi, I was wondering why Sonder would give us lines that are too long. Can there be logic to only write something that has a max of 14 words; if too long, rewrite the line? This is for my spanish book and I don't know spanish. I'll go to CHATGPT to help me rewrite the lines but it sort of defeats the purpose of having Sonder write the script.

If your TikTok views have fallen to almost nothing since Sept 2, this is why, and it isn't anything you've done. What we're seeing TikTok has applied an enforcement action to US-based TikTok accounts connected to services that post via API (Sonder being one of them). Affected accounts look completely normal: posts publish, pass review and stay public, with no violations or warnings anywhere. They just get no algorithm distribution at all. The handful of views you're seeing are people visiting your profile. Three things we've pinned down since it started on Sept 2: - It's the account, not the post. Changing your content, captions, sounds or posting time makes no difference, and neither does posting by hand in the TikTok app. - US accounts only. Non-US accounts are completely unaffected. - A fresh account won't dodge it. US accounts connected since Sept 3 are being flagged on arrival. What we recommend Pause your affected US TikTok accounts. Posting to them doesn't help and may hurt, so it's not worth your time until TikTok lifts this. Keep posting everywhere else That's your non-US TikTok accounts, plus Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Pinterest. Download from Sonder and upload yourself rather than posting through the Sonder connection for peace of mind, but no other company has enforced this. This is caution, not a fix: the accounts affected are ones connected through the API, and until we know how far this reaches we'd rather your other accounts weren't publishing that way. What to do 1. Stop posting to any affected US TikTok account, and don't connect a new one. 2. Keep your other accounts going, posting by hand. It takes about a minute. 3. If you have anything scheduled in Sonder to a US account, reply and we'll cancel it for you. There's no way to do that from your side yet. Posting a slideshow by hand. Open it in My videos and press Download slides. They come down as one .zip, numbered in order, so unzip it and save the pictures to your phone. Press Copy next to the caption and again under the hashtags. Then start a photo post in the app you're using, pick your slides 01 first, and paste the caption in.

Just a suggestion....It would be nice to see, for each age group, where there are voice types in a range, let's say from sad to excitable. My niche is self help and the female voices seem too perky. I did find one but it would be nice to have more to choose from. Or a scale from sad to excitable, questioning something to expert on the subject. thanks

Hi, I"m not sure if I missed something about slideshows posting to TT, I tried twice and it says FAILED. Please advise.
