5 of 75 prompts — free sampler
1
Client Acquisition
Cold outreach email that doesn't read like a pitch
The email that gets a reply without starting with "I hope this finds you well."
Write a cold outreach email to [JOB TITLE, e.g., "Marketing Director at a B2B SaaS company"].
I'm a freelance copywriter specializing in [YOUR NICHE, e.g., "email sequences and landing pages for SaaS"].
Keep it to 5 sentences max. Lead with one specific observation about their business or industry (don't be vague).
Close with a low-friction ask (a quick call or a simple yes/no question).
Tone: confident, human, not salesy. No subject line needed - I'll write that separately.

Client Acquisition
Proposal intro that leads with their problem, not your bio
Opens the way every winning proposal does: with the client's situation, not your credentials.
Write an opening paragraph for a freelance proposal to [CLIENT TYPE] for [PROJECT TYPE].
Show that I understand their specific problem: [DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM IN 1-2 SENTENCES].
Lead with their outcome, not my credentials. Max 4 sentences.
Tone: expert, warm, not formal.
These are 2 of 75. The pack also covers proposals, scope, invoicing, rate increases, content, copy, and social. This week: $13.60 with code LAUNCH20 (was $17).

Client Acquisition
Discovery call prep — 8 questions that make you look like the expert
The question list that surfaces budget, timeline, and pain points without sounding like a checklist.
I have a discovery call with [PROSPECT TYPE] about potentially [TYPE OF PROJECT].
Write 8 questions I should ask to (a) understand their situation deeply, (b) surface budget and timeline, and (c) position myself as the expert in the room — without sounding like I'm running a checklist.
Start with their biggest pain, end with a forward-momentum question.

Client Communication
Scope creep pushback — collaborative, not defensive
The email that protects your time and fee without burning the relationship. Offers two paths forward.
A client just asked me to add [DESCRIBE THE EXTRA WORK] to a project that's already scoped and underway.
Write an email that: acknowledges the request positively, explains it's outside current scope,
offers two paths forward (include it + adjust timeline/cost, or defer to a separate project),
and makes the decision easy for them.
Tone: collaborative, not defensive. Keep it brief.
Scope creep costs freelancers an average of 6+ hours/month. The pack has 10 prompts just for protecting your fee. LAUNCH20 expires Jun 21.

Client Communication
Rate increase email — matter-of-fact, not apologetic
Announces the increase, locks in existing clients at the current rate if they book first, and doesn't grovel.
Write an email to existing clients announcing a rate increase.
New rate: [AMOUNT]. Effective date: [DATE]. Current rate: [AMOUNT].
Reason I'm comfortable giving: [e.g., "demand for my work has grown significantly"].
Offer existing clients the current rate through [LOCK-IN DATE] if they book before then.
Tone: matter-of-fact, warm, no over-apologizing. This is a business decision, not a confession.
