. Could also use headings:…
. We need to include the e-book promotion paragraph at the end exactly as given. We need to count words. Let’s craft about 470 words. We need to ensure we count words correctly. Let’s draft then count. Plan: Title line: Title: AI-Powered Automation Saves a Farmers’ Market from 15-Hour Weeks to 2-Hour Management Then blank line then content. We’ll use headings: maybeIntroduction

,Key Takeaways for Festival Organizers
. Each heading as WP block. Paragraphs as WP block. We must not include placeholders. Use facts from e-book. Let’s draft content and then count words. I’ll write in a text editor mentally. Title line: Title: AI-Powered Automation Saves a Farmers’ Market from 15-Hour Weeks to 2-Hour Management Now content. We’ll start with intro paragraph. We need to count words. Let’s write and then count manually. I’ll write each paragraph and then sum. I’ll produce:Sarah, the organizer of a bustling weekend farmers’ market, used to spend roughly fifteen hours each week chasing down vendor compliance documents.

Heading words not counted? Usually they count but we need total words of article. We’ll count them as well. Safer to count all visible words. We’ll include them.
