Here is my first template for ElevenLabs and Contra contest
It turns the book cover layout into a series of social post: 4:5, 16:9 stills and 9:16 video with animated cover.
The template is done in a way to analyze your cover and adjust the setting and color to fir it.
It is oriented on independent book authors who need to promote their books with no publishers and limited budget. Though, the template only creates the cover, the overall flow and template instruments give this audience creative freedom for promotion – I give some ideas that go beyond this exact template in the video.
I was inspired by my friend Anna who is going to publish her first book this summer.
I can see this being so helpful for authors!

i built this portfolio template in framer a few months ago, and it’s been exciting to see how much traction it’s been gaining lately!
it’s now #81 overall and #25 in the designer category on the framer marketplace, bringing in more views, reach, and commissions along the way.
sharing the case study here if you want to take a closer look at the project and see how it came together! 🙌
Huge congrats Max! #81 overall and #25 in designer category on Framer marketplace is no small feat 🚀 Framer templates that actually get traction + commissions is the dream. Well deserved!
I almost quit Pentaclay in the first few months.
Nov 2023 I launched a design subscription. Around $2,500 a month, unlimited requests. Nobody signed up. Not one person.
So I cut the price. A 2 week trial for about $500 to $1,100. People finally said yes. 3 clients by the end of 2023, one of them took the trial 2-3 times in a row.
And it got worse. Less money, way more work. Every message was "one more small change". I worked all day and still wasn't making enough. By December I was burned out.
So I tried something different. I made one Framer template. Took me almost 2 months to build.
First month it made $134. Small money, but no calls, no revisions, and it sold while I slept.
If you run a startup, what was the moment you almost quit?
That $134 month is such a good turning point, small money but it proved something could work without you being on call. Did the template buyers end up becoming a way into bigger client work too?
Just joined Contra! 🎬 I make faceless short videos for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts: hook, script, AI voiceover, captions and music, ready to post. Here's a finance short I made. Got an idea for a video? Send me a message 👇
Nice work! Love how you've made the whole process simple and ready to post. Wishing you a great start on Contra!
