It's June. Weddings everywhere. Speeches due Friday.
Best men, maids of honor, fathers of the bride - none of them write for a living. They panic. They Google. They pay.
Claude writes a 3-minute toast in 22 minutes. You charge $150.
In this issue:
Why wedding speeches are the easiest $150 in June - and why one yes turns into 3
The Builder Prompt that takes 8 answers and turns them into a 450-word toast
The text to send Tuesday — one DM to one friend in a wedding this summer
This Week's Opportunity
A panicked best man just paid $150 for a toast.
The Knot tracks roughly 2 million U.S. weddings a year. Most have a best man, a maid of honor, a father of the bride. That's at least 6 million speeches a year — written by people who hate writing.
The market already pays for this. ToastWorthy charges $99–$249 per speech. SpeechWriters.com starts at $399. You don't need to beat them. You just need to show up at $150 with a 24-hour turnaround.
Claude does the heavy lifting. You ask 8 short questions, paste the answers, get a 450-word draft. 22 minutes of work. $150 in your account by Sunday.

Your pitch - DM one friend in a wedding this summer:

Your 3 Claude Prompts
STARTER · THE DISCOVERY PROMPT
// RUN THIS AFTER THE CLIENT SAYS YES
"Ask me 8 short questions to learn enough about a [bride/groom/couple] to write a 3-minute [best man/maid of honor/father of the bride] wedding toast. Questions should be conversational, not formal. After I answer, do NOT write the speech yet — confirm tone (funny / heartfelt / balanced), then ask if I want any specific story included."
BUILDER · THE MASTER PROMPT
// PASTE INTO CLAUDE WITH THE 8 ANSWERS
"Using my answers, write a 3-minute, ~450-word wedding toast in [tone].
(1) Open with ONE specific moment — never a generic line.
(2) One short story showing why [name] is the right person.
(3) One line about the partner.
(4) One toast line at the end.
Read like the speaker actually wrote it. First person, contractions, no Hallmark phrases. No 'on this special day.' No 'as we gather.' Cap at 450 words. Output the speech as plain text, no headings."
ADVANCED 🔥 · THE DM SEQUENCE
// SEND TO 5 FRIENDS IN A WEDDING THIS SUMMER
"Write a 5-text DM pitch sequence I can send to people in my contacts whose Instagram shows they're in a wedding this summer. Tone: friend, not salesperson. Open with a real compliment from their feed. Mention I write speeches with AI, 24-hour turnaround, $150. Each text under 30 words. Last text closes with: 'Want a free 200-word sample first?'"

You need ONE friend in a wedding this summer. That's the whole gate between you and $150 this weekend.
Reply and tell me which friend you're DMing first.
"The toast is the easy part.
The DM is the hard part."
