A repeatable content system that actually books work
- Proof — before/after, case studies, testimonials, results posts
- Process — how-it-works content that shows your craft and pre-qualifies buyers

- Pain — problems your buyers Google at 11pm on a Tuesday
- Pitch — direct offer content with a clear call to action

- Saves and shares
- Profile visits
- Link clicks and DMs initiated
