Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is an author
Apparently, if you are a struggling content creator it really is up to you to get your stuff out there and in front of the eyeballs of potential customers. Social media helps, but these days you have to utilise every possible avenue at your disposal. Hence this puzzle, in which the answer to the meta is an author. (Google may be necessary!)

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
