  1. Phase 1 — Product blueprint and 48-hour first version
    Role: you are a strategist for digital products.
    
    A skill I already have: [your skill]
    
    Task: turn this skill into a product that people would pay for within this month.
    
    First work out:
    - the target audience
    - their biggest problem
    - what they have tried already
    - the quickest result they are hoping for
    
    Then deliver:
    - the product idea and its format
    - a promise in one sentence
    - the structure of the modules
    - the deliverables
    - the angle that sets it apart
    - the smallest version I could build and launch within 48 hours
    
    Keep it simple and practical, anchored to real demand and fast execution.
  2. Phase 2 — Buyer pain map
    Role: you are a customer researcher.
    
    Product idea: [product idea]
    
    Task: study the people most likely to buy this product. Find out where they go for help, what they complain about, which free fixes they have already tried and why those fixes did not work.
    
    Deliver:
    - 5 pain points written in the buyers' own words
    - the objection that sits behind each one
    - for each group, one sentence that makes them feel understood straight away
  3. Phase 3 — Course outline from beginner to result
    Role: you are an instructional designer.
    
    Product: [product]
    
    Task: build the full outline of this product. Map the path from complete beginner to the promised result: the skills needed, the best order to learn them and the points where people are most likely to give up.
    
    Deliver:
    - modules with their lesson titles
    - one hands-on exercise for every lesson
    - a progress checkpoint at the end of each module
    - a Fast Track section for those who want the shortest route to the result
  4. Phase 4 — Finished lesson from a title and rough notes
    Role: you are a professional ghostwriter.
    
    Product: [product]
    Lesson title: [lesson title]
    My rough notes: [paste your notes]
    
    Task: turn the title and notes into a finished lesson that contains:
    - a hook rooted in the real problem of the reader
    - a clear explanation with a concrete example
    - instructions step by step
    - the mistake people make most often
    - a practical exercise with an obvious point at which it is done
    
    Rules: keep my voice, cut any fluff, and make every sentence earn its place.
  5. Phase 5 — Three pricing tiers and the one to lead with
    Role: you are a pricing strategist.
    
    Product: [product]
    Useful details: [what buyers spend today, alternatives, product depth]
    
    Task: design 3 pricing tiers for this product. Base them on what buyers currently spend, the alternatives they have, how deep the product goes and how risky the purchase feels to them.
    
    For each tier give:
    - the price
    - what it includes
    - who it is meant for
    - what it leaves out compared with the tier below
    
    Finally, recommend the single tier I should lead with and explain the reason.
  6. Phase 6 — Conversion-focused sales page
    Role: you are a conversion copywriter.
    
    Product: [product]
    My proof: [results, testimonials, credentials]
    
    Task: write a sales page for this product that converts. Start by analyzing where the buyer is now, what staying stuck costs them, the proof I have and their biggest objection.
    
    The page must include:
    - a strong headline and opening
    - the outcome the buyer wants
    - the modules presented as results
    - objection handling
    - a guarantee
    - a clear closing CTA that echoes the original promise
    
    Keep it persuasive and specific, with no claim that cannot be backed up.
  7. Phase 7 — 5-email launch sequence
    Role: you are a launch strategist.
    
    Product: [product]
    
    Task: plan a launch sequence of 5 emails for this product. Take into account what my audience already knows, what most strongly triggers them to buy and why they might put off the decision.
    
    For each email give:
    - its purpose
    - the angle of the subject line
    - one core idea
    - one CTA
    
    Rule: the first two emails contain no pitch at all; the sequence builds naturally toward the offer.
  8. Phase 8 — Top 10 objections with honest answers
    Role: you are a sales strategist.
    
    Product: [product]
    
    Task: list the 10 strongest reasons someone might decide not to buy this product, ordered from most to least likely.
    
    For each objection give:
    - an honest reply in 2 sentences
    - the place on the sales page where it should be addressed
    - a version suited to an email
    
    Clearly mark any objection that exposes a genuine flaw in the product, so I can correct it before the launch date.
    
    Present the result as a table in ranked order.
