Real use case
The 'Design Matters' podcast has 15,000 downloads per episode and 3,500 loyal listeners. The host wants to generate $10,000 per month from the podcast but doesn't know where to start beyond 'looking for sponsors.' They need a realistic plan with multiple income streams.

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
