ChatGPT is great for generating ideas for promotional emails.

I usually tell it to pretend it is a marketing genius like this:

Pretend you're a marketing genius and write a promotional email urging readers to enter a giveaway for a collection of action-packed ebooks, a New York Times bestseller and paperbacks. Include a compelling subject line.

And it spits back something like this:

Subject: πŸŽ‰ Win the Ultimate Adventure: Action-Packed eBooks, a NYT Bestseller & Paperbacks in our Exciting Giveaway! πŸŽ‰

Are you ready for the literary thrill of a lifetime? We've got an exhilarating opportunity just for you! πŸš€ Enter our exclusive giveaway and stand a chance to win a collection of action-packed eBooks, a New York Times bestseller, and captivating paperbacks that promise to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I pull the bits I like and reword them for my use.

You can also say things like, "Give me 20 ideas for compelling email subjects promoting a 99c sale of X" and it will spit out 20 ideas instantly. Only like one of the twenty? Ask for another twenty. It never gets annoyed, and what it provides might be different than your usual thought process. Send your brain in useful new directions!

Some essential facts about this informational series:

  1. I use ChatGPT-4 (big upgrade from 3)
  2. I'm aware it may grow up to destroy the world Terminator-style, but for now, I'm making it work for me to keep from worrying myself to death.
  3. AI lies. It fills knowledge gaps with things it reasons MIGHT be true. If you're using it for research, double-check everything! 
  4. There is another AI site that provides reference links to the things it spits out called Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/ (There are a lot of AI sites now.)
  5. In all these examples, I'm not suggesting you use AI word for word - because it pulls information from many sources, you never know if it is plagiarizing someone somewhere.
  6. AI is most useful for kicking your own brain into gear!
  7. This article was written by a human. (me) πŸ˜
