+
+#### Audience
+- **Target audience**: Who are you writing for? (their background, interests, pain points)
+
+---
+
+### Publishing Phase
+
+These are questions you figure out **LATER** - after you've drafted the content and are preparing to publish.
+
+#### SEO & Discovery
+- **SEO keywords**: Any specific keywords to target?
+- **Meta description**: What should appear in search results? (150-160 characters)

+  - Try a product/service?
+  - Read another post?
+  - Leave a comment?

+
+---
+
+## Available Approaches
+
+Choose the approach that best fits your situation and goals.
+
+### Approach 1: Quick & Direct
+
+**When to use**:
+- Short blog entry (500-1000 words)
+- Simple idea that doesn't need much development
+- Personal blog or casual writing
+- Want to publish quickly (same day or next day)
+- The idea is clear in your head already
+
+**Strategy**:
+- Minimal planning - skip the outline phase
+- Write draft directly from idea
+- Light revision (fix typos, improve flow)
+- Quick publish
+
+**Output**: Single blog post, 500-1000 words
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. Answer 5-7 core Idea/Draft questions (title, topic, angle, length, tone)
+2. Draft the post in one sitting
+3. Quick revision pass (30 minutes)
+4. Answer Publishing phase questions (5 minutes)
+5. Publish
+
+**Timeline**: 2-4 hours from idea to published
+
+---
+
+### Approach 2: Structured Single Post
+
+**When to use**:
+- Complex idea that needs careful organization (1500-3000 words)
+- Professional or company blog
+- Technical tutorial or deep-dive
+- Want high quality, polished result
+- Idea needs structure to be clear
+
+**Strategy**:
+- Build detailed outline first
+- Develop each section systematically
+- Multiple revision cycles
+- Add supporting elements (images, code examples, links)
+- Thorough editing and polish
+
+**Output**: Single well-structured blog post, 1500-3000 words
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. Answer all Idea/Draft phase questions
+2. Create detailed outline with sections and subsections
+3. Draft introduction
+4. Draft each section separately
+5. Draft conclusion
+6. First revision pass (structure, flow, clarity)
+7. Second revision pass (polish, examples, links)
+8. Answer Publishing phase questions
+9. Add images, code examples, formatting
+10. Final proofread
+11. Publish
+
+**Timeline**: 1-3 days from idea to published
+
+---
+
+### Approach 3: Multi-Post Series
+
+**When to use**:
+- Idea is too big for one post
+- Natural breakdown into 3-5 related topics
+- Want to build momentum with a series
+- Complex subject needs multiple angles
+- Each sub-topic deserves its own focus
+
+**Strategy**:
+- Break main idea into 3-5 sub-topics
+- Create outline for each post in series
+- Write posts in sequence (or parallel if independent)
+- Define publishing schedule
+- Link posts together for continuity
+- Create series landing page or index
+
+**Output**: 3-5 related blog posts with publishing strategy
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. Answer Idea/Draft questions for overall series theme
+2. Break idea into 3-5 sub-topics
+3. For each post in series:
+   - Answer Idea/Draft questions specific to that post
+   - Create outline
+   - Draft post
+   - Revise post
+4. Review series for continuity and flow
+5. Add cross-links between posts
+6. Answer Publishing phase questions for each post
+7. Define publishing schedule (e.g., one per week)
+8. Publish series
+
+**Timeline**: 1-2 weeks from idea to full series published
+
+**Series Structure Example**:
+```
+Series: "Building Better APIs"
+1. Introduction: Why API Design Matters (800 words)
+2. Core Principles: REST, GraphQL, and When to Use Each (1500 words)
+3. Authentication and Security Best Practices (1800 words)
+4. Error Handling and Validation (1200 words)
+5. Documentation and Developer Experience (1500 words)
+```

+
+## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
+
+❌ **Don't**: Ask about SEO keywords before you've written anything
+✅ **Do**: Focus on title, topic, and angle first - SEO comes later
+
+❌ **Don't**: Try to cover everything in one post
+✅ **Do**: Choose one angle and go deep on that
+
+❌ **Don't**: Write without knowing your audience
+✅ **Do**: Be specific about who you're writing for
+
+❌ **Don't**: Bury the main point at the end
+✅ **Do**: Make your key insight clear early
+
+❌ **Don't**: Publish without a call to action
+✅ **Do**: Tell readers what to do next
