# for.do

> The exact steps, in order. Playbooks for launches, entrance exams, licences and life admin, each with fees, dates, pass marks, a last-reviewed date and sources.

Each playbook page is plain HTML with a HowTo JSON-LD block, and has a Markdown twin at its URL + index.md (e.g. https://for.do/p/<slug>/index.md). The full text of every playbook is at https://for.do/llms-full.txt.

## Launch & marketing

- [Launch a mobile app on the App Store and Google Play](https://for.do/p/app-store-launch/): Developer accounts, listing assets, privacy declarations, a review-proof build, and a staged rollout — the paperwork and order that stop a launch from being rejected the week it matters.
- [Catch an expiring .com domain](https://for.do/p/catch-an-expiring-com-domain/): The .com lifecycle from expiry through redemption to the 18:00 UTC delete, where the competition is, and how to place backorders that actually fire — or hand-register what the catchers ignore.
- [Run a cold email campaign that gets replies (and stays out of spam)](https://for.do/p/cold-email-outreach/): Warm a separate sending domain, verify the list, write a four-line email that asks one question, send small volumes daily, and track replies rather than opens.
- [Build a landing page that converts](https://for.do/p/landing-page-that-converts/): One page, one action: a headline that states the outcome, proof above the fold, a form that asks for the minimum, and a measured baseline before you change anything.
- [Launch on Product Hunt](https://for.do/p/product-hunt-launch/): A six-week runway, a 12:01 am Pacific start, a maker comment that opens with the problem, and 200 supporters queued for the first hour — the parts that decide the day.
- [Launch on Hacker News (Show HN)](https://for.do/p/show-hn-launch/): Post a working thing with a plain title, tell the story in your first comment, be present for six hours, and accept that the front page is a lottery you can only buy tickets for.
- [Launch a product on social media (SMO)](https://for.do/p/social-media-launch/): Pick two channels you can sustain, prepare a week of posts before day one, launch with a thread and a demo, then measure clicks not likes.
- [Technical SEO for a new site (launch checklist)](https://for.do/p/technical-seo-launch-checklist/): Everything a search engine needs on day one — canonical URLs, sitemap, robots, structured data, speed, and the indexing request — done in the right order so the first crawl counts.

## Entrance exams

- [Prepare for CAT (MBA entrance)](https://for.do/p/cat-mba/): Register by mid-September, sit the 120-minute computer-based test on the last Sunday of November, and convert the percentile into IIM and top B-school calls.
- [Take the digital SAT](https://for.do/p/digital-sat/): Two adaptive sections, 98 questions, 2 hours 14 minutes, scored 400–1600 — registration on College Board, a 10–12 week Bluebook-based plan, and the module-2 routing that decides your ceiling.
- [Prepare for GATE](https://for.do/p/gate/): A three-hour, 65-question computer-based test in February for M.Tech admission and PSU recruitment — the marking scheme, the paper choice, and a 6–8 month plan.

- [Take IELTS (Academic or General Training)](https://for.do/p/ielts/): Choose the module, book paper or computer delivery, prepare for four skills scored on the 9-band scale, and use One Skill Retake instead of a full resit if one section falls short.
- [Crack JEE (Main and Advanced)](https://for.do/p/jee-main-and-advanced/): Two sessions of JEE Main in January and April, then JEE Advanced in May for the top scorers — the eligibility rules, the pattern, and a 12-month plan that respects both.
- [Prepare for NEET-UG](https://for.do/p/neet-ug/): One pen-and-paper exam in May, 180 questions, +4/−1 — the pattern, the eligibility, and a plan built on NCERT because that is where the paper comes from.
- [Prepare for the UPSC Civil Services Examination](https://for.do/p/upsc-civil-services/): Prelims in late May, nine Mains papers from late August, and an interview the following spring — the three-stage structure, the attempt and age rules, and a 15-month plan.
