About this exercise
Reply to the job post as freelance writer Amani Brooks. Plain text under 120 words, in exactly 3 short paragraphs: (1) what you'd deliver and by when, (2) two relevant past projects from the portfolio list (skip unrelated ones), (3) your rate and a clear next step. Do not claim experience you don't have, and use the rate for this type of work. Start with "Hi Nina," and sign off "Amani".
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Listing everything. The AI lists all five projects. Try: Add: "Choose two relevant projects only."
- Using the wrong rate. The AI uses the $60 social post rate. Try: Add: "Use the long-form per-word rate."
- Overclaiming experience. The AI claims SEO tool skill to match the post. Try: Add: "Don't claim experience you don't have."
- Long email. The AI writes five paragraphs. Try: Add: "Exactly 3 short paragraphs, under 120 words."
What a strong prompt includes
- Fixes 3 paragraphs
- Asks for relevant projects
- Uses the right rate
- Bans overclaiming
- Includes a next step
