You already know this. Now say it out loud.

We are going to build one free guide, one signup page, one email list and one paid offer, in a single conversation. Seven stages. Before anything else, tell me in one line to rename this chat to "The 7-Day Content Engine" so I can find it again. This will be a long conversation and I will want to come back to it. Two rules for you, for the whole conversation: 1. Start every reply with the stage number and name, like this: STAGE 3 of 7 — The page that collects emails I lose track otherwise. 2. Do one stage at a time. Finish it, then stop and ask me if I am ready for the next one. Do not run ahead, even if you can see what comes next. Remember everything I tell you. Never ask me to repeat or paste something I have already given you in this conversation. Before stage 1, ask me one thing: can somebody buy or try what I sell without speaking to me first? If yes — I have a free trial, a self-serve product, or anything people can sign up for on their own — keep all seven stages but change what they point at. The page in stage 3 sells the trial rather than collecting an email address, because a trial asks less of someone than an email does and shows more than any PDF. The email in stage 4 is what arrives once someone has started the trial. The posts in stages 5 and 6 send people to the trial. Stage 7 becomes what happens when the trial ends, not inventing a first paid offer I already have. The guide from stage 2 still gets written — it becomes the thing I send during the trial to help someone get a good result in the first week. If no, run the stages as written. One more thing if we are using the product shape. In stage 5, "give something away first" means something different. With a service, a post gives away advice. With a product, a post has to show the thing working — a real screen, a real result, what somebody typed in and what came out. A post that only describes what the product does is an advert and people scroll past it. A post that shows it doing one specific thing is a demonstration, and that is what earns the click. Tell me where a screenshot is needed and what should be in it. Tell me which shape we are using, in one line, before you start stage 1. Here are the seven stages. STAGE 1 — What to give away Ask me: what my business is and who my best customer is; the five questions customers ask me most; what people usually get wrong; the first thing I do for a new client that they could not do alone; and whether the answer to my chosen question is a series of steps, something that needs explaining, something they fill in, or something that depends on their situation. Ask them one at a time. Then give me three ideas for a free guide, each based on a question I actually named, each with a title in a customer's words and which shape it is. Stop and ask which one I want. STAGE 2 — Write it Using the idea I chose, write the guide. About 700 words. The customer's question as the title, the honest answer in the first three sentences, three to five numbered steps, a short section on what usually goes wrong, and one next step. Then tell me what I am giving away for free next to what I am still charging for. Then ask me where I will upload the PDF — I will need that address in stage 4. STAGE 3 — The page that collects emails Ask me two things: what I do for a living and why I am the person answering this, and what worry might stop someone handing over their email address. Then write the page: a headline about the result, a one-line subhead, five bullets drawn from the guide, a short "this is for you if" list, the form heading and button text, two or three sentences about me, and a closing line. Under 400 words. Then ask me where this page will live: do I have a website I can edit myself, is the site somebody else's job to update, or do I have neither. Give me a completely self-contained HTML file for all three answers — all CSS inside a style tag, no external files. For the somebody-else route, also give me the steps to put it on Netlify and point a subdomain at it, saying plainly that the main site is not affected. For the neither route, tell me to drag it onto netlify.com/drop and that my PDF goes in the same folder — if both files go up together, the PDF will be at the address I gave you above. Mention too that I can build the page inside MailerLite instead if I prefer fewer steps today. Tell me to publish the page before I move on to stage 4. Build the free half only for now. In stage 7 we come back and add the paid offer underneath, on this same page. I only want one page, and one address for people to remember. STAGE 4 — The email that delivers it Use the PDF address I gave you in stage 2 — do not ask me for it again. Ask only what I want people to reply and tell me. Then write the automated email: under 150 words, link the guide rather than attaching it, name the one thing in the guide to read first. STAGE 5 — Telling people Ask which platforms I actually post on and what I want someone to do. Then write five posts. Each one gives away something specific from the guide first and only mentions the guide at the end. Vary the shape: one story, one mistake people make, one straight how-to, one question, one short list. STAGE 6 — One idea, six places Pick three of the five questions I gave you in stage 1. Ask me my honest spoken answer to each. Then give me three video scripts of about 140 words, a text hook and caption for each, and from the first one a carousel outline, a 400-word blog post titled with the customer's question, and a short email to my list linking to it. STAGE 7 — Charging for the deeper version Work out from the guide what problem it leaves someone with. Ask how much time I can give this each month and whether I have been paid for this before. Then give me three options for a small first offer from lightest to heaviest, a price range with your reasoning for the one you would pick, and an email to my list announcing it. Then rebuild the page from stage 3, whole, with the free guide and its form above and this offer below it. Same format as before: a complete file if I have a website, blocks if I do not. Do not send me to a second page, and do not ask me to paste anything together myself. First tell me whether what I am selling is my time or a file, and say which one plainly. If it is my time — a call, a review, work I do afterwards — a payment link is enough, because there is nothing to steal. If it is a file or a video, warn me that a payment link takes the money but does nothing about delivery: whatever page I send people to after payment can be forwarded to anybody, and on a normal website there is no honest way to stop that. Point me at a tool that delivers to the buyer instead, and say it charges a percentage per sale rather than a monthly fee. Then give me the exact words to paste into whichever checkout I end up using: product name, a description a buyer will read at checkout and again on the receipt, the price, whether it is one-off or recurring, and what should happen after payment. If I have a booking link, put it in the description in full, because the description is the one thing a buyer keeps. Remind me to collect the customer's name as well as their email, and tell me to ask my accountant whether I owe sales tax rather than guessing at the setting. Then write me a short email I send the moment I see a payment, under 120 words, with the booking link or the delivery detail in full. AFTER STAGE 7 Without me asking, write me a short brief about my business that I can paste at the start of any future conversation. What I sell, to whom, what it costs, who buys it, how I talk, and the three or four things I kept correcting you on, written as instructions to follow without being told. Fifteen lines at most, plain text. Rules for everything you write: - Write the way I speak, not the way a marketer writes. Short sentences, no jargon, no hype. - Be specific. Real steps and real numbers, never "provide value". - Do not invent numbers, prices, timeframes or claims I did not give you. Leave a clearly marked gap instead. - Flag anything I must verify before publishing, especially prices, regulations, insurance or health claims. - Keep the first paid offer small. Argue me out of anything that would take more than a few weeks to deliver. Start with stage 1, question 1.
