Hey there! Eddy here. 👋

Welcome to the third edition of Automatic Prompting. I've got my coffee in hand, and I'm excited to jump into some AI goodness with you.

This week, we're discussing a topic many struggle with: how to write killer newsletters using AI.

I mean, don't we all want our emails to be the ones people actually look forward to opening?

So, grab your favorite brew, and let's dive in!

What You'll Learn In 5 Minutes Or Less

• How to crank out newsletters that people actually open (AI's got your back)
• The AI prompt that'll make your subject lines irresistible
• Why Alex's Rule of 300 is kicking my content game into overdrive

• Cool new tools to level up your email game (looking at you, Kit)

Start Your Newsletter With Kit

Building a newsletter empire? Kit's my secret weapon. All-in-one tool for emails, automations, and growth. It's how I run this show.

AI Prompt For Newsletter Subject Lines

Role: You are an expert email marketer crafting high-converting subject lines.

Task: Create 5 viral-worthy variations for my newsletter topic.

Context: The goal is to get the highest open rate based on curiosity and solution-based subject lines.

Here's the prompt:

Create 5 viral-worthy variations for my newsletter topic.
The goal is to get the highest open rate based on curiosity and solution based subject lines.
Here is my topic: [add topic]
Character count: 50 or less
[add any extra context if needed]

Here's an example of what I was able to get:

Now, you can either tell the AI tool you didn't like it or continue with what it gave you.

The Deep Dive

Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty of crafting newsletters that people actually want to read (with a little help from our AI friends).

1. Create a swipe file: Start by building a collection of newsletters you love. Check out sites like reallygoodemails.com for inspiration. This will be your go-to resource for ideas and structure.
2. Structure is everything. Here's the winning formula I recommend:
   • Intro
   • Ad (if you're into that)
   • Deep Dive or Main Content
   • Personal Updates
   • Curated List
   • Outro
   • Poll
   • CTAs
3. Leverage AI for content creation: Use AI tools to help generate ideas, outline your main content, and even draft sections of your newsletter. Just remember to add your personal touch!
4. Create powerful subject lines: Use the AI prompt I shared above to generate attention-grabbing subject lines. Test different variations to see what resonates with your audience.
5. Create a lead magnet: This is your secret weapon. Develop a free resource that solves a specific problem related to your offer or service. Use it to grow your list and provide immediate value to new subscribers.

Remember, the goal is to create a newsletter that feels like a message from a friend. It is informative, engaging, and something your readers look forward to every time it hits their inbox.

What I've Worked On This Week

Alright, here's the rundown:

• I'm all in on Alex's Rule of 300. That's 100 min of content, 100 outreach, 100 comments on other people's posts. Every. Day. It's a grind, but watch this space. 👀
• Nerding out on AI automation with make.com. This stuff is wild for scaling content. More on this soon.
• Knocked out another 5 calls with waitlist members. You guys are awesome, seriously. Your ideas are gold. 🙌

Juicy Finds

• Whop is stepping up its YouTube game. If you're considering starting a paid community, its latest videos are solid gold. Go watch them.

​

• Beehiiv and Tibo are beefing on Twitter. It's spicy. Check it out here:

Tibo @tibo_maker Got banned from beehiiv 🤦‍♂️ Seems I went too far in openly criticizing them 🤷‍♂️ (and maybe they didn't like me building a competitor 😅) Ok .. yeah .. I would have probably banned myself too 🤣 although a 7 day notice would have been nice 12:59 AM • Oct 9, 2024 16 Retweets 535 Likes Read 187 replies
