Selling ideas, one to six

One, today's special on a board. Two, a new arrival on a shelf. Three, a last-minute slot. Four, a price list on kraft paper. Five, a restock reminder. Six, a gift idea under a set budget. Prompt for the special: 'vertical story, a small chalkboard on a cafe table with a fresh pastry beside it, warm light, empty space at the top'. Swap the pastry for your product and write the price afterwards.

Trust ideas, seven to eleven

Seven, a day in the workshop. Eight, how an order is packed. Nine, a customer review on a quiet background. Ten, a question box for followers. Eleven, a thank you after a busy weekend. Prompt for packing: 'vertical story, a kraft box with tissue paper and a ribbon on a clean table, soft window light, empty bands top and bottom'. Add the review text yourself in a plain font.

Habit ideas, twelve to fifteen

Twelve, opening hours for the week. Thirteen, a poll with two options. Fourteen, a countdown to a launch. Fifteen, a Friday recap of what sold. Prompt for the countdown: 'vertical story, a closed shop door with a hanging sign and balloons, evening light, empty area in the middle'. Post the same hours background each Monday and change only the dates, so followers learn where to look.

Tips

Pick three ideas for the week.
Keep the same colors across all stories.
Leave bands for text at top and bottom.
Reuse a good prompt with new words.

Questions and answers

How many stories a week is enough?

Three well-planned stories beat daily filler. Pick one selling, one trust and one habit idea each week.

Do I need to match my brand colors?

Say the colors in the prompt, for example sage green and cream, and keep them in every background so the set looks consistent.

What does it cost?

2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.

Does the bot work in English?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.

What the bot does not do

Does not place a logo exactly. You can send it as a reference, the result is approximate.
Long text on the image can come out with misspellings. Short captions work better, proofread before publishing.
Does not make video or animated stories.
Does not output a transparent PNG or a layered file.
