You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Freelance Marketplace Strategy.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as my freelance marketplace consultant. I offer {{service}}. Evaluate and rank these platforms for my niche: Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, Contra, PeoplePerHour, and LinkedIn. For each:
- 1. Fit for my service,
- 2. Client quality,
- 3. Fee structure,
- 4. Competition level,
- 5. Recommended positioning. Then give me a 90-day marketplace launch plan for the top 2 platforms.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” 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 deciding where to focus your marketplace presence for the best ROI on your time.

PRO TIP
