I'm a freelance writer pitching to [COMPANY NAME], which sells [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to [TARGET AUDIENCE]. I've reviewed their blog/website and noticed [SPECIFIC GAP OR OPPORTUNITY — e.g., 'they haven't published in 3 months' or 'their posts lack SEO structure'].

Write me a cold pitch email that:
- Opens with a specific, genuine observation about their content (not flattery)
- Explains in one sentence what I do and who I help
- Offers one concrete, free micro-insight or suggestion relevant to their niche
- Ends with a single low-friction call to action (a 15-minute call or reply to confirm interest)
- Is under 150 words total
- Sounds like a real human wrote it, not a marketing bot

Tone: warm, direct, confident without being pushy. No subject line fluff like 'Quick question' or 'Loved your content!'

Review requirements: Separate supplied facts from assumptions. Do not invent market data, customer results, testimonials, or source citations. Flag missing information and suggest a small validation test. Mark numerical examples as scenarios. Keep the final decision with me.

I'm writing a blog post for a client in the [INDUSTRY] space. The target keyword is '[PRIMARY KEYWORD]' with a monthly search volume of roughly [VOLUME]. The reader is [DESCRIBE READER — e.g., 'a small business owner who wants to improve their Google ranking but has no technical background'].

Give me:
1. An H1 title that includes the primary keyword naturally and would make someone click
2. A meta description under 155 characters
3. A full outline with H2s and H2s, including:
 - An intro hook (problem or surprising stat)
 - 4-6 main sections with bullet points of what each covers
 - A FAQ section with 3 questions real people search
 - A conclusion with a clear CTA
4. 3 semantically related keywords to weave in naturally
5. Suggested word count range based on the topic competitiveness

Do not write the full post yet — just the outline and structure.

Review requirements: Separate supplied facts from assumptions. Do not invent market data, customer results, testimonials, or source citations. Flag missing information and suggest a small validation test. Mark numerical examples as scenarios. Keep the final decision with me.

Help me write a LinkedIn 'About' section and a one-liner service description for my freelance writing business.

Here's my background:
- Writing experience: [e.g., 'I've been blogging personally for 2 years; no paid clients yet' OR '3 years writing internal comms at a marketing agency']
- Niches I want to target: [e.g., SaaS, personal finance, health and wellness]
- Types of content I write: [e.g., blog posts, email newsletters, landing pages]
- One result I've helped someone get (even informally): [e.g., 'Rewrote a friend's About page and she said she started getting more inquiries']

Write:
1. A 3-paragraph LinkedIn About section (first person, no buzzwords like 'passionate' or 'guru', ends with a soft CTA)
2. A one-liner for my LinkedIn headline under 120 characters
3. A 2-sentence service description I can paste into emails and proposals

Tone: confident but not salesy. Make it sound like a real person, not a LinkedIn influencer.

Review requirements: Separate supplied facts from assumptions. Do not invent market data, customer results, testimonials, or source citations. Flag missing information and suggest a small validation test. Mark numerical examples as scenarios. Keep the final decision with me.

I've written a rough draft of a [WORD COUNT]-word blog post on the topic '[TOPIC]' for a client in the [INDUSTRY] industry. The target audience is [READER DESCRIPTION]. The primary keyword is '[KEYWORD]'.

Here is my draft:
[PASTE DRAFT HERE]

Please:
1. Improve sentence flow and readability — aim for a Flesch-Kincaid reading ease score of 60-70 (clear, not dumbed down)
2. Strengthen the opening hook — the first 2 sentences must make the reader want to keep going
3. Check that the primary keyword appears in: the first 100 words, at least 2 H2s, and naturally 3-5 more times in the body
4. Flag any claims that need a source or citation with [NEEDS SOURCE]
5. Tighten any paragraph longer than 5 lines
6. Suggest a stronger CTA for the conclusion

Do NOT change my voice or add fluff. Return the revised draft with a short bullet summary of changes made.

Pick 1-2 niches where you already have knowledge or genuine curiosity — SaaS, personal finance, health, legal, etc.

Use a simple one-page contract (Bonsai or HelloSign templates work fine) that defines: word count, number of revision rounds, turnaround time, and what constitutes a new request.

Calculate your minimum viable hourly rate first (monthly expenses ÷ available hours), then price per project based on estimated hours × target rate.

Build a mandatory self-edit step into every project: finish the draft, step away for at least 30 minutes, then read it aloud before submitting. Use Grammarly or Hemingway Editor as a second pass. Never submit work you wouldn't be proud to show as a portfolio sample.
