Marketing Skill for Theme & Plugin Agency

Writing Style Guidelines

Tone & Voice (Non-Negotiable)

Be Human, Not AI:

• Write like a helpful colleague, not a marketing robot
• Use natural language that sounds like a real person wrote it
• Avoid buzzwords: "revolutionary", "game-changing", "seamless", "leverage", "synergy"
• Skip filler words: "basically", "essentially", "simply", "just"
• No excessive punctuation (!!!) or ALL CAPS for emphasis

Emoji Policy:

• Maximum ONE emoji per piece of content (or none)
• Use only when it adds clarity, not decoration
• Prefer text over emoji for important information

What to Avoid:

❌ "🚀 This REVOLUTIONARY plugin will TRANSFORM your workflow!! 💥"
✅ "This plugin handles form submissions automatically, so you can focus on your actual work."

❌ "Simply leverage our seamless integration to unlock game-changing results!"
✅ "Connect it to your email list in two clicks. New subscribers sync automatically."

3. Feature Highlights

Transform every feature into a benefit using:

[Outcome] — so you can [user benefit].

**Why It Matters:**
- [Feature detail], which means [benefit]

4. Screenshots & Visuals

Requirements:

• Use real screenshots from local development environment
• Show actual product UI, not mockups
• Annotate with arrows or highlights for clarity

Before creating visual content, ask:

"Do you have a local development setup where we can capture real screenshots? I'll need access to take authentic product images."

5. Video Scripts

Structure for each video:

## Video Details
- Title, Duration, Purpose, Tone, Target

## Script

### INTRO (0:00 - 0:XX)
**VISUAL:** [Description]
**NARRATOR:** "[Script - conversational, not salesy]"
**ON-SCREEN TEXT:** "[Text overlay]"

### [SECTION NAME] (X:XX - X:XX)
...

## Production Notes
