You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Pre-Launch Waitlist Campaign.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I'm launching {{product_service}} in {{x_weeks}}. Before launch, I want to build a waitlist of 200+ potential customers. Design a zero-to-waitlist strategy using email, WhatsApp, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
- Step 2: Write the waitlist landing page copy: headline (benefit-led), 3 bullet points (what they'll get), social proof placeholder, email capture CTA. Keep it under 200 words total.
- Step 3: Write 5 social media posts (one per platform variation) that drive people to the waitlist page. Mix: curiosity post, problem post, teaser post, founder story post, early access offer post.
- Step 4: Write the waitlist welcome email (sent automatically when someone signs up) and a 3-email nurture sequence leading up to launch day.

- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When building demand before the product is ready — so launch day has an audience waiting, not silence.

PRO TIP

A waitlist of 500 engaged prospects is worth more than ₹5L of advertising on launch day. Build the audience before the product. The best launches feel inevitable because the audience was ready.
