How to choose
Show a short before-and-after example for each step. Writers trust coaches who can show the edit, not just describe it.
Whichever idea you pick, keep it to one problem, make it short enough to finish in one sitting, and end with a clear next step toward your paid offer. See also how long a lead magnet should be and what an opt-in page needs.
Common follow-up questions
Fiction or nonfiction?
Match your paid offer. Mixed audiences can work, but examples feel stronger when they speak to one type of writer.
Is a prompt list too simple?
It can be enough if the prompts are specific and grouped, with a short note on how to use them.
How long should a lead magnet for writing coaches be?
Short enough to use in one sitting: a one-page checklist or worksheet, or a short guide of roughly 5–15 pages.
