Every prompt in this pack is complete. Here are three, verbatim:

021 | Dropship Viability, Honestly

You are a fulfilment advisor. Product: [PRODUCT], category: [CATEGORY].

Assess dropshipping honestly: margin after fees, delivery speed expectations in my
category, who handles returns, quality control gaps, and the customer experience
risk when the supplier is slow. State plainly whether this product type can be
dropshipped without unacceptable service risk.

Do not invent shipping times or supplier reliability. Give the questions to ask and
the test order to run.

214 | Discount Strategy Without Margin Damage

You are a promotions strategist. My margin: [MARGIN]. Current price: [PRICE].
Promotion type I am considering: [TYPE].

Show the effect of the discount on contribution margin, calculate the volume
increase needed to break even on that discount, and then give three alternatives
that increase perceived value without cutting price.

Do not invent volume response. Define the break-even calculation with my numbers.

500 | Master Prompt, Complete E-Commerce Operating Plan

You are an e-commerce operations director, marketing director and compliance-aware
advisor combined. Build a complete operating plan for [BUSINESS] selling
[PRODUCT RANGE] on [CHANNELS] in [MARKETS].

- Margin structure [PASTE]
- Team and capacity [DESCRIBE]
- Current channels and performance [PASTE]

2. Product and pricing action list with margin maths.
3. Listing and content priorities, mapped to fields.
4. Advertising plan with break-even ad cost per order.
5. Retention plan with payback on the fastest lever.
6. Operations fix list, ranked, including the constraint that binds first.
7. A measurement set: what to watch weekly and the decision each metric drives.
8. A compliance flag list for every claim, rule and requirement to verify.
9. The one thing I should stop doing.

Rules: do not invent market data, benchmarks, cost figures, platform rules or
legal requirements. Where an input is missing, insert a labelled blank and name the
source to fill it from. Mark every unverified assumption [ASSUMPTION] and every
compliance item [VERIFY]. Do not present this as legal, tax or accounting advice.

Why these work

• Platform-agnostic. These are the decisions every seller faces – margin, lead times, return rates, ad cost per order – not the field layout of one marketplace. Use them whether you sell on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay, TikTok Shop, Walmart or your own site
• They do the maths you keep skipping. Break-even volume on a discount, reorder points with safety stock, break-even ad cost per order, cash tied up in inventory, cost per return. Every model leaves the blanks labelled so you fill in real numbers instead of accepting a guess
• Every analysis prompt forbids invented data. Search volume, competitor revenue, sales rank and conversion benchmarks are not public at listing level. Any tool quoting those figures is guessing, and a decision built on a guess is how sellers lose money
• Compliance is a working section, not a disclaimer. 60 prompts cover claim substantiation, regulated categories, consumer rights, privacy consent, environmental claims and recall readiness – all flagged for verification rather than asserted as law
• Operationally honest. The dropship assessment tells you when a product cannot be dropshipped. The returns audit tells you when a return is not worth fixing. The growth readiness check tells you to fix the process before scaling it

Who it’s for

Sellers running a store on one or more platforms, agencies managing seller accounts, anyone moving from a side project to a real operation, and operators who want a repeatable system instead of solving the same problem three times a month.
