Prompts for freelancers
Prompts for proposals, pricing, client emails, onboarding, invoice reminders, contracts, service pages and profiles for independent contractors.
These prompts cover the parts of freelance and consulting work that sit around the work itself: winning projects, setting terms, keeping clients informed and getting paid.
Finding and pricing work comes first. The Freelancer Assistant qualifies leads, sets prices, plans schedules and handles admin and tax set-asides. The Pricing Strategy Assistant works out hourly, project, retainer or value-based rates from your costs and capacity, and the Freelance Proposal Writer writes proposals and statements of work that pin down scope, revisions and payment terms. The Service Description Writer and Online Profile Writer cover service pages and Upwork or Fiverr profiles.
Once a client signs, the Client Onboarding Assistant writes the welcome email, intake questionnaire and asset checklist. The Client Communication Assistant drafts scope pushback, bad news and declined work in your own voice. Before signing a client's paper, the Contract Explainer walks through the clauses that move money, risk and control.
For the end of a project, the Invoice and Payment Communication Assistant drafts payment reminders, overdue follow-ups and a full reminder sequence with timing, and the Bookkeeping Assistant categorises income and expenses from bank exports.
Each prompt is pasted in as instructions or a first message, with your request in the bracketed slot at the end.
