🏃‍♂️ Action Guide

1. Send the Pitches

Take the 5 personalized outreach pitches you drafted in Step 8 and send them to the corresponding contacts (via LinkedIn, email, or Instagram). Acknowledge receipt of replies and follow up professionally!

2. Create Your Launcher Profile Page

Create your profile card inside the portal directory. Create a new markdown file at: src/content/docs/launchers/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME.md

Paste and fill out this template:

---
title: "Your Name"
description: "Launcher profile"
---

# Your Name 👋

- **Niche/Focus:** (e.g. local vet clinics, B2B SaaS startups)
- **Service Offerings:** (e.g. Astro landing pages, webhook automations)
- **LinkedIn Profile:** [linkedin.com/in/username](https://linkedin.com/in/username)
- **Portfolio Website:** [yourportfolio.com](https://yourportfolio.com)
- **Goal in Launchpad:** (e.g. secure my first 3 freelance contracts)
- **GitHub:** [@YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME)

Save the file.

3. Commit and Push Your Changes

Run the git commit workflow to push your profile page to your fork:

# Navigate to the root directory

git add src/content/docs/launchers/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME.md
git commit -m "feat: complete onboarding challenge steps and register launcher profile"
