THE SIMPLE-FIX PDF SKELETON
Paste this into a blank doc and fill the blanks. When every line has words
in it, you have a one-page product. Ship it by dinner.


THE PROMISE (write this first, before anything else)
The finish line in one sentence. The format is fixed. Fill all three slots
or the pain you picked isn't sharp enough yet.

  Do _______________________________________________________ (the action)

  in ______ minutes (the time)

  so you can ________________________________________________ (the reason)

If you can't fill all three, go back and shave the pain down further.


THE ARTIFACTS (your contract with the buyer)
Name exactly what they hold in their hands when they're done. This keeps
you honest while you draft. Every step either moves them toward these
objects or it's filler.

  When they finish, they walk away holding: ________________________

                        THE PAGE ITSELF
        (everything below goes in the file, in this order)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


TITLE LINE
The pain plus the promise. Same line you'll put on the product page later.

  ___________________________________________________________________


MICRO INTRO (two sentences, no more)
One sentence for the stakes. One for the finish line.

  Stakes: ___________________________________________________________

  Finish line: ______________________________________________________


THE SEVEN STEPS (written as commands: Open this. Click here. Paste that.)
No theory, no backstory, no sermon on why the step matters. If it runs
past seven, you scoped too big. The cut steps are version two.

  1. ________________________________________________________________

  2. ________________________________________________________________

  3. ________________________________________________________________

  4. ________________________________________________________________

  5. ________________________________________________________________

  6. ________________________________________________________________

  7. ________________________________________________________________


THE PROOF (this one outweighs the rest combined)
At least one real screenshot, or one honest before-and-after, parked where
the buyer can see the result with their own eyes. Circle the thing that
matters in the shot. Anybody can claim a result. A screenshot of the
result is the hinge between a stranger believing you and killing the tab.

  Proof I'm dropping in: _____________________________________________


THE ONE-SCREEN CHECKLIST (the whole fix at a glance)
Box the buyer can run start to finish without rereading the steps.

THREE TROUBLESHOOTING BULLETS (shape: If X, do Y)
For the spots people most commonly get stuck.

  - If ____________________________, do ____________________________

THE FOOTER
Credits, a version number, and a line of contact so a happy buyer can tell
you and an angry one can reach you.

THE THREE-BLOCK TIMER (how you fill the page without freezing)
Set a timer. Close every tab you don't need. Draft ugly, clean it after.

  BLOCK ONE, 30 min: rough out the seven steps as commands.
  BLOCK TWO, 30 min: screenshots or a tiny worked example, one line each.
  BLOCK THREE, 30 min: the clean pass, read out loud, standing up. Cut
                       every word that doesn't earn its spot. Bolt on the
                       checklist and the troubleshooting note.

Optional, while the timer's still warm: record a three-minute video
walking the steps and link it on page one. Some buyers read, some watch.


THE LAYOUT (ten minutes, no drama)
One font family. 12 to 13 point body text. Bold for labels and nothing
else. Plenty of white space. Export to PDF at standard size and squeeze
the file if it comes out heavy. The reader cares about the fix, not your
kerning. Spend the trust on the fix, not the frame.


THE LINE TO REMEMBER
One pain. One promise. One page that earns. A tiny product is cheap to be
wrong about. The flop costs you an evening, not a season. Ship it tonight,
not when it's ready.
