The proposal you keep putting off, drafted before your coffee goes cold.
You went out on your own to do the work you are good at, not to stare at a blank proposal at 10pm. These 20 tested prompts hand you the first draft, so the hardest part is already started.
Here is a proposal you can send as is. Fill in the three brackets first.
Hi [Owner's name],
Your shop has 900 followers who already like you, but a month of silence means they are not seeing you in their feed. You are busy running a family business, and writing captions is the task that keeps slipping.
I can take that off your plate. Each week I will write three ready-to-post captions in your shop's voice, with hashtags that help Austin locals find you and a simple posting schedule. You send me a few phone photos and any specials or events, and I handle the rest. You approve everything before it goes live.
Turnaround: your first week of captions arrives within [X] days of receiving your photos, and every following batch lands by [day] for the week ahead.
Could we do a 15-minute call this week? I will bring three sample captions written for your shop.
Best, [Your name]
Two notes:
- Only promise a turnaround you can actually keep. Two to three days for the first batch is a reasonable range if it fits your schedule.
- No budget was stated, so I left price out. Raise it on the call once you know how much she wants handled (captions only, or posting and replying to comments too).
