# Lead magnet generator: a typeset guide from one paragraph

Chapbook is a lead magnet generator that writes and typesets the whole guide. You describe the reader and the promise in one paragraph; it proposes titles and an outline for you to approve, drafts 1,000 to 10,000 words chapter by chapter, makes a cover, and exports a digital PDF and an EPUB 3 to give away.

## At a glance

- Length: 1,000 to 10,000 words, 4,000 by default.
- A first draft like Five Pricing Mistakes, at its planned chapter lengths, uses about 73 credits: planning, its 7 chapters, one read-through and one cover.

## Made with Chapbook: Five Pricing Mistakes

Five Pricing Mistakes: A ten-minute read for founders, by Jane Founder. Lead magnet, 3,735 words, 17 pages. A sample generated from one brief and exported unedited; it is not a customer's book. Read every page: https://chapbook.ink/examples/lead-magnet/

The brief:

> The five pricing mistakes that cost early software companies customers, and what to do instead. Promise: In ten minutes you will recognise which of the five mistakes you are making and know the first step to fix each one. Reader: A technical or product-minded founder who set the price by copying a competitor or guessing, and suspects it is wrong. Voice: Short paragraphs, concrete examples with realistic fictional companies, no invented statistics or studies; reason from mechanics and examples.

The outline the planner proposed:

1. Introduction (291 words)
2. Mistake 1: Copying a competitor (558 words)
3. Mistake 2: One tier for everyone (588 words)
4. Mistake 3: Never asking (608 words)
5. Mistake 4: Anchoring on your costs (641 words)
6. Mistake 5: Never revisiting the number (606 words)
7. What to do instead (411 words)

## What you get

A lead magnet made in Chapbook is a short, finished book, not a document to lay out afterwards. The planner proposes title options, a one-line positioning and a chapter-by-chapter outline with a word count for each chapter. You reorder, rewrite or cut chapters until the outline is the guide you meant, and only then is anything drafted.

Each chapter is drafted against its line in the outline, in the voice the brief describes. The finished guide is typeset by Typst in the look you choose, with a contents page that links to every chapter, running heads and the fonts embedded. The cover is generated from the brief, with the title set as type so it is never misspelt, or you upload your own.

## How it works

1. **Write the brief.** One paragraph: who the guide is for, what it promises and how it should sound. Add notes, PDFs or web pages as sources if you have them.
2. **Approve the outline.** Planning uses 10 credits. Change anything before a word is drafted.
3. **Read it free.** The free plan drafts one chapter of up to 2,500 words, with a watermarked cover, so you can judge the voice before paying.
4. **Draft, edit, export.** Drafting uses 1 credit per 125 words, and credits reserved for words that were not written come back. Edit any passage by hand, or ask for a rewrite you accept or reject, then export.

## Give it away from its own page

On a paid plan the finished guide gets a public book page at your own address. A reader signs up to download the PDF; the sign-up lands in your Readers list with the named link that brought them, and the list exports to CSV for Kit, Mailchimp, Beehiiv or any other email tool. The page is built from a snapshot of the book, so later edits stay private until you update it.

## What it does not do

Chapbook writes nonfiction only, in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Dutch. It does not send email to your readers, it does not connect to your email tool directly yet, and it does not upload anything to a store for you. Fact-checking stays with you: the read-through flags claims no source supports, but it cannot know what is true.

## Questions

### How long is a lead magnet made with Chapbook?

A Chapbook lead magnet is 1,000 to 10,000 words long, 4,000 by default. You set each chapter's length in the outline before anything is drafted.

### What can I see before I pay?

The complete outline, one chapter of up to 2,500 words and a watermarked cover. They use the 60 credits a new account gets once, with no card.

### What files do I get?

A typeset digital PDF, an EPUB 3, a Word document (DOCX) and a cover JPEG at 1600 × 2560 pixels. Files without the watermark need a paid plan.

### Does Chapbook deliver the lead magnet to readers?

On a paid plan, yes: the book gets a public page where readers sign up to download the PDF, and each sign-up lands in your Readers list, ready to export as CSV to your email tool.

### Does Chapbook email my readers?

No. Chapbook never sends email to a reader. Sign-ups arrive unconfirmed, and your email tool sends its own welcome and confirmation when you import them.

### Will the guide sound like me?

Drafting reads a voice profile made from up to 5 pieces of your own writing, and every change the assistant proposes afterwards arrives as a suggestion you accept or reject.
