Stand out in your reader’s inbox with a click-worthy email subject line
The typical inbox is flooded with emails and you’re trying to stand out. Problem is, you’ve got a high-converting 20-part campaign all written up, but you’re stuck on writing the subject lines, because after the first dozen subject lines you’ve come up with, they’re all starting to sound, and look, the same.
Here’s what to do: Prompt AI to write multiple email subject lines, based on different formulas, for you. This is what ChatGPT 3.5, aka GPT-3.5, created for me when I used the AI copywriting prompts I’m about to teach you:
Here’s how to use GPT-3.5 to get similar results for your business or client.
Step 1: Ask GPT-3.5 to give you a list of different email subject line templates
The goal of Step 1 is to get a list of templates so that GPT-3.5 can then use it to create subject lines after you’ve described the content and/or goal of your email.
In GPT-3.5, ask it to give you a list of email subject line templates.
Give me 10 email subject line templates
Step 2: Ask GPT-3.5 to give you a list of email subject line based on the formula of your choice
Next, we’re going to prompt GPT-3.5 to give us a few subject lines in a specific template. In this prompt you’ll want to add text from the email, because GPT-3.5 needs to know what your email is about so it can write subject lines tailored to your email. For this example, I used copy from an email I received recently from the clothing line Everlane.
In GPT-3.5, ask it to write email subject lines based on one of the templates it generated for you in Step 1. Include as much copy from your email as you think is necessary to give it enough information so that AI can generate more personalized email subject lines for your email.
Give me at least { desired number } email subject lines for { business name }, based on the { template from generated list in Step 1 } template. The body of the email has { include description of any images, list header, subhead and / or any other copy you think ChatGPT 3.5 would need to know to write your subject lines }.
Step 3: Ask GPT-3.5 to give you a list of email subject lines based on another formula of your choice
Next, we’re going to repeat the prompt in Step 2, but ask GPT-3.5 to write subject lines based on another template from the list generated in Step 1. You do this step if you want to test a different formula on the same email. Repeat this step for as many subject line formulas you want to test on your email.
In GPT-3.5, prompt it to write email subject lines based on a different template from the list it generated for you in Step 1. Again, include as much copy from your email as you think is necessary to give it enough information so that it can generate more personalized email subject lines for your email.
Give me at least { desired number } email subject lines for { business name }, based on the { template from generated list in Step 1 } template. The body of the email has { include description of any images, list header, subhead and / or any other copy you think ChatGPT 3.5 would need to know to write your subject lines }.

I tried this AI prompt for a few different products. Here’s what happened.
New West KnifeWorks is a maker of premium cutlery. I prompted ChatGPT with some copy from an email I received from them recently and got a list of email subject lines tailored to that copy. As I tried this AI prompt in a new chat, the list of templates GPT-3.5 generated for me changed slightly from the list it generated for me in the Everlane chat, but still gave me multiple email subject line templates with examples I could use to further create personalized subject lines.

Use this prompt to help you refresh your memory of the different email subject line formulas out there and quickly whip up more subject lines for you to test.
