## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Write a free ebook called [EBOOK TITLE, e.g. The 5 Money Leaks in Your Practice] for [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT]. Its job is to help them [ONE RESULT, e.g. find $500 a month they're losing] and lead them to book [YOUR OFFER]. Use only the facts in the attached research report and name the source of each one in plain words. If a claim isn't in the report, leave it out.

Structure: a cover line, a short welcome from me, five short chapters (each with a story or example, one stat and a do-this-today step), a one-page checklist and a closing page with one call to action.

Keep it around 2,500 words, in short paragraphs. Write the way I talk: [YOUR VOICE, e.g. warm and direct]. Before you start, ask me for two stories from my own clients you can use. Mark each chapter break clearly so I can paste it onto its own page.
```
