Email is still the highest-ROI marketing channel for most businesses, but most email marketing is mediocre: generic subject lines, walls of text, and offers that feel disconnected from what subscribers actually want. AI helps you write emails that feel personal, timely, and useful rather than promotional. These prompts cover every type of email your business needs.

Strategy and list building

Build the foundation for an email marketing program that grows.

Define your email marketing strategy

My business is [DESCRIBE]. I want to use email marketing to [GOALS: GENERATE LEADS, DRIVE SALES, RETAIN CUSTOMERS, RE-ENGAGE CHURNED USERS, BUILD COMMUNITY]. Help me define my email marketing strategy: who I am emailing, what they get from being on my list, how often I should email them, and how email fits into my broader marketing. What should my emails be known for?

Strategy and list building

Create a lead magnet to grow your list

I want to grow my email list by offering a lead magnet to [TARGET AUDIENCE]. They are interested in [TOPIC]. Help me create a compelling lead magnet concept: the right format (checklist, template, guide, tool, mini-course, discount), what it should include to be genuinely valuable, and a title that makes the value immediately clear. Write five title options.

Strategy and list building

Write a landing page for email signups

Write a landing page to get [TARGET AUDIENCE] to sign up for my email list. My list is about [TOPIC]. The main benefit of being on my list is [WHAT SUBSCRIBERS GET]. The page needs: a headline that makes the value obvious, two to three bullet points on what subscribers receive, social proof if available, and a signup form with a submit button copy that is more compelling than "Subscribe."

Strategy and list building

Segment your email list

My email list has [NUMBER] subscribers who signed up because of [HOW THEY SIGNED UP]. Help me think through how to segment my list for more relevant emails. What segmentation criteria make sense for my business: [DESCRIBE BUSINESS]? What different email experiences would I create for each segment? How should I gather the data I need to segment properly?

Strategy and list building

Write a welcome email

Write a welcome email for new subscribers to my [BUSINESS/NEWSLETTER] email list. New subscribers signed up because [HOW THEY SIGNED UP / WHAT THEY WERE PROMISED]. The email should: welcome them warmly, deliver on the promise that got them to sign up, tell them what to expect from future emails, and give them one useful thing they can do or read right now. Keep it under 300 words.

Strategy and list building

Subject lines and open rates

Write subject lines that earn opens in a crowded inbox.

Write subject lines that get opened

Write twenty subject lines for an email about [EMAIL TOPIC] sent to [AUDIENCE]. Vary the approach: some create curiosity, some promise a specific outcome, some use the reader's name or situation, some use a number, some make a bold claim, some ask a question. Keep each under fifty characters. Flag the five you think are strongest and explain why.

Subject lines and open rates

Write preview text that boosts opens

Here are five subject lines I am testing: [LIST SUBJECT LINES]. Write preview text (the snippet that appears after the subject line in an inbox) for each one. The preview text should complement the subject line, add information that makes the reader more curious, not repeat what the subject line already said. Keep each under 90 characters.

Subject lines and open rates

Diagnose low open rates

My email open rate has dropped to [CURRENT OPEN RATE] from [PREVIOUS OPEN RATE]. My list is [SIZE] and I send emails [FREQUENCY] about [TOPIC]. Help me diagnose the most likely causes. Is it subject line quality, sending frequency, list hygiene, deliverability, or something else? Give me a diagnosis and a specific test I should run first to identify the real problem.

Subject lines and open rates

A/B test your subject lines

I want to systematically improve my email open rates through A/B testing. Help me design a subject line testing program. What elements should I test (length, tone, question vs statement, personalization, emoji, urgency)? How should I run tests to get statistically useful results? What should I do with the results to build a library of what works for my list?

Subject lines and open rates

Re-engage inactive subscribers

I have [NUMBER] subscribers who have not opened an email in [TIMEFRAME]. Write a three-email re-engagement sequence. Email 1: acknowledge the silence and give them a reason to reconnect. Email 2 (send to those who did not open email 1, [X] days later): try a different angle. Email 3: a sunset email, make it clear this is their last chance to stay on the list. Make each email feel human, not automated.

Subject lines and open rates

Writing emails that convert

Write email body copy that drives the action you want.

Write a promotional email

Write a promotional email for [PRODUCT/SERVICE/OFFER] to [AUDIENCE]. The offer is [DESCRIBE OFFER]. The email needs: a subject line (give me three options), an opening that earns the read, the key information about the offer clearly presented, two to three benefits (not features), any urgency or scarcity if real, and a clear call to action. Keep it scannable and under 300 words.

Writing emails that convert

Write a nurture email

Write a nurture email for subscribers who signed up for [LEAD MAGNET] but have not yet purchased [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. This email should: provide genuine value related to [TOPIC], demonstrate your expertise or point of view, and naturally connect that value to how [PRODUCT/SERVICE] goes further. The email should not feel like a sales email even though it is moving people toward a purchase.

Writing emails that convert

Write a plain-text style email

Write a plain-text style email from [SENDER NAME / PERSONA] to [AUDIENCE] about [TOPIC]. Plain-text emails feel more personal and often get better engagement than HTML emails. Write this as if it is a one-to-one email from a person, not a mass email from a brand. No promotional language, no feature lists, just useful, direct communication that happens to serve a business goal.

Writing emails that convert

Write a story-based email

Write an email for [AUDIENCE] that uses a story to make a point about [TOPIC] and naturally leads to [DESIRED ACTION OR NEXT STEP]. The story can be personal, from a customer, or hypothetical but it should be specific and real-feeling. The point of the story should connect clearly to the lesson or action without being forced. Keep it under 400 words.

Writing emails that convert

Write a post-purchase email

Write a post-purchase email sent immediately after someone buys [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. The email should: confirm the purchase (what they get and when), make them feel confident they made the right decision, tell them the specific next step to get value from their purchase, and open the door to future communication without immediately trying to upsell. Make them feel like a person, not a transaction.

Automations and sequences

Build automated email sequences that work while you sleep.

Build a welcome sequence

Build a five-email welcome sequence for new subscribers to [BUSINESS/NEWSLETTER]. Email 1 (immediately): [GOAL]. Email 2 (day 2): [GOAL]. Email 3 (day 4): [GOAL]. Email 4 (day 7): [GOAL]. Email 5 (day 10): [GOAL]. Each email should have a subject line, a clear purpose, and a specific call to action. The sequence should build relationship and move subscribers toward [DESIRED OUTCOME] without feeling like a hard sell.

Automations and sequences

Write an abandoned cart sequence

Write a three-email abandoned cart recovery sequence for [PRODUCT/BUSINESS]. Email 1 (1 hour after abandonment): remind them what they left behind, low pressure. Email 2 (24 hours): address the most common objections or add a piece of social proof. Email 3 (72 hours): last chance, consider adding a small incentive. Each email should have a subject line and keep the tone helpful, not pushy.

Automations and sequences

Build a product launch sequence

Build an email sequence for launching [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to my existing list. Include: pre-launch emails that build anticipation, launch-day emails, follow-up emails for those who did not buy, and a last-chance email. For each email, give me the subject line, the purpose, and the key message. The sequence should feel like a story with building momentum, not a series of sales pitches.

Automations and sequences

Write a customer onboarding sequence

Write a five-email onboarding sequence for new customers of [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. The goal is to help them get value quickly and reduce churn. Email 1 (day 0): welcome and first step. Email 2 (day 3): address the most common early struggle. Email 3 (day 7): help them reach their first win. Email 4 (day 14): expand their usage or introduce an advanced feature. Email 5 (day 30): check in and gather feedback. Each email should have a clear subject and one focused action.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I email my list?+

There is no universal answer, it depends on your audience expectations and what you have to say. A weekly email works for most businesses. More often is fine if every email provides genuine value. Less often is fine if your list expects it. The fastest way to lose subscribers is to email too frequently with low-value content, not to email too rarely.

What is a good email open rate?+

Average open rates vary widely by industry but generally range from 20 to 40 percent. More important than the benchmark is your trend over time. A declining open rate signals a list health or content quality problem. A rising open rate signals you are improving. Your own baseline is the most relevant number to compare against.

Can AI write emails that do not sound like AI?+

Yes, with the right inputs. Give AI your brand voice description or examples of emails you like, specify the tone, and tell it to write conversationally rather than formally. Then edit the output to add your specific examples, personality, and context. The editing step is what makes AI email copy sound human, skipping it is why so much AI email content sounds generic.
