Module 5: Step 1 - Collect Samples
Garbage In, Garbage Out
The quality of your ghostwriter depends entirely on the quality of your samples. We need 10-20 high-performing posts.
The Golden Rules of Sampling
- Quality Over Quantity.
Better to have 10 amazing posts than 50 mediocre ones.
- Preserve Formatting.
Keep the line breaks and whitespace. Claude learns rhythm from the visual shape of the text.
- One Platform Only.
Don't mix tweets with long-form emails. Build separate projects for separate formats.
