Core
Brand: DopaReads
Meaning: Dopamine Reads — books as addictive as your phone, but better for you.
Positioning:
- fast, addictive digital reads
- mixed genre shelves, not one narrow niche
- book-first storefront under Akaiju
- direct shop first, Etsy as traffic/relay channel
- not a slow "weeks later" launch plan; this is a fast-fill launch
Current State
The site front already exists:
/mnt/home-nas/Codex en Claude code/Codex/FISO/out/dopareads/index.html
Fable/FISO run files:
/mnt/home-nas/Codex en Claude code/Codex/FISO/out/dopareads/README.md/mnt/home-nas/Codex en Claude code/Codex/FISO/out/dopareads/FISO-RUN.md
Book inventory source:
/mnt/home-nas/Codex en Claude code/Codex/Books/10-Verzonden-naar-Kindle/
Known count from this folder:
- 76 EPUBs present
- mixed genres are ready
- DopaReads can launch with a mixed shelf
Launch Shape
Do not delay for a perfect single-genre strategy.
Launch as a mixed digital bookstore with clear shelves:
- thrillers / suspense
- comedy
- YA / younger readers
- romance / emotional reads
- nonfiction only if clean and public-safe
- bundles / samplers when ready
The first public version can be simple:
- storefront
- product pages
- working checkout/external links
- email capture
- clean product status map
- no dead buttons
What Tash Still Needs To Set Up
These are human/account tasks, not model-invented tasks:
- shop account / storefront backend
- public DopaReads email address
- checkout/payment route
- download delivery route
- mailing list/newsletter route
- final domain or public URL if needed
Do not claim any of these are live until Tash actually sets them up.
Freebie
Freebie is not made yet.
Needed:
- choose a free starter read, OR
- build a DopaReads sampler EPUB from existing public-safe books
Recommended factory:
- FSPO — File In, Sampler Out
Freebie requirements:
- public-safe
- no private 404/Tash context
- clear CTA to DopaReads
- email signup use
- EPUB first, PDF optional
Pen Names
Assume pen names are mostly already routed via the FIBO ideas app and existing book folders.
Do not stop to ask unless conflict is found.
Known/expected:
- Mira Chaz — thriller/suspense lane
- Lot Vonk — comedy lane
- Sloane Voss — witch/thriller lane
- Vera Stillwater — romance/emotional lane
- Liene Pien — was private/Lina route; for DopaReads, Lina/kids/YA books need a new public author/pen name
Rule:
If a genre already has a confirmed pen name, keep it. If a genre has no confirmed public pen name, create one and log it.
Lina / Kids / YA Books
These books are valid for sale quality-wise.
But for DopaReads:
- remove private framing
- do not present them as Lina's private shelf
- give them a public author/pen name
- keep them on a kids/YA/younger-reader shelf if content fits
Potential titles include:
- Afgekeurd
- Blaf
- De Dood
- De Stad
- Alleen als niemand luistert
- Vlam
Verify exact list from the EPUB inventory before publishing.
Park / Do Not Launch Yet
These may exist as EPUBs but should be parked or flagged before public launch:
- 404 books
- Mike / Blue machine books
2e Was CuteJouw Diagnose in Gewone TaalThe Lethal MirrorSMART-WITH-PIPES-draft- anything with private 404/Tash/family context
- anything explicitly marked draft
Parked does not mean deleted. It means not public at first launch.
Shop Material
Shop material can be prepared by Codex/Mike with browser control and the correct protocol.
Needed per product:
- title
- author/pen name
- genre/shelf
- short blurb
- long blurb
- cover image
- EPUB file
- price
- checkout/download link
- content warning if relevant
- status: ready / needs cover / needs blurb / needs price / private / parked
Use browser control for:
- shop setup
- product upload
- cover/asset verification
- checkout link verification
- final page QA
Do not fake upload status.
Etsy Role
Etsy is not the main shop.
Etsy = traffic and discovery relay.
Use Etsy for:
- samplers
- bundles
- reading trackers
- genre starter packs
- product discovery
- redirect/brand path to DopaReads/Akaiju
Needed factory:
- Etsy Relay Machine
Socials
Socials are required but are the least fun task.
Do not make this a vague "post more" plan.
Use a promo machine:
- product in
- 30 days of posts out
- reels/shorts hooks
- quote cards
- cover reveal posts
- trope posts
- bundle posts
- freebie/signup posts
Socials to consider:
- TikTok / Reels / Shorts for hooks
- Pinterest for book covers/quotes
- Instagram for shelves/covers
- Threads/Bluesky if low-effort text hooks are useful
Fast Launch Sequence
No slow weekly launch plan.
Tash works fast. Build for fast execution.
Phase 1 — Shop Foundation
- create DopaReads shop/account
- create public email
- connect payment/download/mailing list route
- set site/storefront URL
Phase 2 — Fill Starter Shelf
- pick 20 to 40 public-safe books first
- include multiple genres
- include at least one comedy shelf
- include at least one thriller/suspense shelf
- include kids/YA if pen name/public framing is fixed
- park private/risky titles
Phase 3 — Freebie/Sampler
- make sampler or starter book
- connect email capture
- add CTA to storefront
Phase 4 — Etsy Relay
- create first Etsy sampler/bundle/listing pack
- point traffic to DopaReads/Akaiju where allowed
- keep policy-safe copy
Phase 5 — Promo Machine
- run content repurposer
- make first 30-day promo stack
- focus on hooks and shelves, not generic brand posts
Phase 6 — DigiStacked Next
After DopaReads is visibly fillable:
- update DigiStacked products
- productize HTML tools
- package demos/paid versions
- connect into Akaiju
Fable / Model Instructions
If Fable picks this up:
- Do not re-argue brand architecture.
- Do not invent account/login state.
- Use the existing DopaReads front.
- Build loaders, catalogs, and product maps.
- Keep public/private boundaries.
- Make fast-execution outputs, not a slow consulting plan.
- Every output needs exact file path and next action.
Definition Of Ready For First Public Push
DopaReads is ready for first public push when:
- shop account exists
- email exists
- at least 10 public-safe books are listed
- covers and blurbs exist for those books
- checkout/download path works
- private/risky titles are parked
- freebie or sampler path is at least planned
- one promo pack exists
- no dead buttons on the front
Not perfect. Usable.
