    This is not about generating art with AI. These prompts help you run the business around your art — listings, content, pitches, planning. Your art stays yours. Always.

    What's inside.

    10 fill-in-the-blank prompts I actually use every week, plus a pro tip with each one and a weekly rhythm chart so you know which prompt to use when.

    01
    SEO listing title + description Spoonflower, Etsy, your own shop. Optimized for what buyers actually search for.
    02

    Monthly content map 12 post ideas mapped to your collections and ICA — with hooks and formats.

    The email I've been avoiding Pitch, follow-up, or check-in email — under 150 words, low-pressure next step.
    06
    Plan your next collection Hero, coordinates, blender, filler — all mapped before you open Procreate.

    Weekly business review 10-minute end-of-week check-in. Stop spinning. Know what to focus on next.

    Who this is for.

    Surface pattern designers, illustrators, makers, Etsy/POD shop owners, coaches — anyone running a creative business who's tried AI once, got something that sounded like a corporate press release written by a very eager intern, and gave up.

    Real talk: AI doesn't read minds. It responds to what you give it. These prompts give it the right specifics so the output stops sounding like a robot and starts sounding like a draft you'd actually send.
