👋 Hey The AI Break family, Luis & Rui here!
We know email marketing can be time-consuming, but with ChatGPT, you can boost your open rates and create high-converting sequences in no time.
In today’s tutorial, we’ll show you how AI can streamline your email process and save you hours every week.
Let’s jump in!
🔄 Boost Your Open Rates and Engagement with ChatGPT
Whether you’re writing subject lines, crafting a welcome email, or setting up a full 7-day email sequence, ChatGPT can help you streamline your entire email marketing process.
Here’s a breakdown of how to use this AI tool to save hours each week and improve your email marketing results.
1. Create Irresistible Subject Lines and A/B Test with Ease
The subject line is the first thing your subscribers see and it plays a major role in whether they open your email. So why not make it perfect every time?
Using ChatGPT, you can quickly generate multiple subject lines for your email campaign and A/B test them for maximum effectiveness.
How to do it:
Ask ChatGPT to create several versions of a subject line for a specific email, such as one inviting subscribers to an exclusive webinar.
Refine the results by providing feedback—make it shorter, add emojis, or tweak the tone until you get the perfect fit.
Use an email marketing platform like Active Campaign that offers A/B testing to test the performance of different subject lines and choose the one with the highest open rate.
With ChatGPT, you don’t have to spend time brainstorming subject lines manually. It will give you creative ideas instantly and save you hours of work.
Prompt example: "You are an experienced email marketing copywriter. Your task is to generate creative subject lines for an exclusive webinar invitation email. Context: The email is intended to invite subscribers to join an exclusive webinar, and it needs to capture attention instantly. Please provide 5 subject line options that use a mix of urgency, friendly language, and relevant emojis."
2. Craft the Perfect Welcome Email in Minutes
Your welcome email is your first impression with new subscribers, and we all know how important first impressions are. Instead of spending hours writing a welcome message, use ChatGPT to craft a friendly, engaging, and on-brand email.
How to do it:
Provide ChatGPT with a bit of context about your subscriber (e.g., they signed up to learn how to use AI effectively).
Ask ChatGPT to write a short, friendly welcome email that mentions an exclusive offer (e.g., a discount on your ChatGPT prompt templates).
Refine the text by asking ChatGPT to make the email shorter or adjust the tone as needed.
By using AI, you can create a welcoming email that builds trust, encourages engagement, and increases the likelihood of a long-term subscriber relationship—without the time-consuming effort.
Prompt example: "You are an expert email marketer. Your task is to write a warm and engaging welcome email for new subscribers. Context: The subscribers have just signed up to learn how to use AI effectively. The email should be concise, on-brand, and include a mention of an exclusive offer (like a discount on our ChatGPT prompt templates). Please draft a complete welcome email that builds trust and encourages further engagement."
3. Automate Your Entire 7-Day Email Sequence with ChatGPT
Creating an email sequence that nurtures your leads and builds a relationship with your subscribers is crucial. However, writing all that content can take days.
With ChatGPT, you can quickly create an entire 7-day email series and provide consistent value to your subscribers.
How to do it:
Ask ChatGPT to pretend it’s an expert on a topic (e.g., blogging tips) and create a 7-day email sequence with subject lines and summaries for each day.
You can also specify that the tone should be casual, and ask ChatGPT to mention relevant products or services (e.g., hosting providers, WordPress themes) with your affiliate links included.
Once ChatGPT generates your sequence, you can tweak the content for additional personalization and specific calls to action.
This will allow you to build automated, value-driven email sequences in minutes, without the headache of writing each email from scratch.
Prompt example: "You are a skilled copywriter and email marketing strategist. Your task is to create a 7-day email sequence aimed at nurturing subscribers interested in blogging tips. Context: Each email in the sequence should include a catchy subject line and a brief content summary, with a casual tone that builds rapport. Incorporate specific calls to action, such as recommending hosting providers or WordPress themes (with affiliate links if applicable). Provide a list of 7 emails with subject lines and content summaries."
4. Set Up Your Welcome Email Automation
To ensure new subscribers receive your welcome email (and any other sequences), set up an email automation system.
Active Campaign or Converkit offers an easy-to-use platform to automate these workflows, sending emails to your subscribers based on triggers like a new sign-up.
How to do it:
Create a sign-up form or landing page to collect emails from your audience.
Set up the automation trigger in Active Campaign so that when someone subscribes, they automatically receive your welcome email (and any follow-up sequences you’ve set up).
Customize the email design with their drag-and-drop editor to make your emails look professional and engaging.
Now your emails will go out on autopilot, saving you time and ensuring that every subscriber gets the right email at the right time.
