The AI Email Kit: have Claude write the emails to your list in your voice

Your email list is the one audience you own. But writing to it takes time, so most owners email rarely or never. AI can write the emails in your voice. You just read, fix and send.

Here's how I use it. Every new video I post becomes that day's short email to my list. Every free guide has its own delivery email, so the moment someone asks for it, it's in their inbox. Claude writes the drafts from my notes and my script. I read every one before it goes out.

This kit gives you the prompts for each piece, in order. Claude is the main tool, and every prompt works the same in ChatGPT. Then paste the emails into whatever you send with: your CRM or an email tool like Mailchimp, Kit or ActiveCampaign.

1

Step 1: Give Claude your voice (once)

Generic AI emails sound like generic AI emails. The fix is a short "business brain": one document with how your business works and how you talk. Write it once, reuse it for every email. In Claude, the best home for it is a Project: paste it into the project instructions, and every chat in that project already knows it.

Copy this inHelp me write a one-page "business brain" document that you'll read before writing any email for me. Ask me questions one at a time about: what I sell and the price, who my customers are and the problem they have, the free things I offer (guides, checklists, consults), my real results and experience, words I use and words I never use, and how I sign off. Here are 3 to 5 emails or messages I've actually written, so you can learn my voice: [paste real emails, texts or posts you wrote yourself] When you're done, write the document in plain language, with a short "How I write" section at the end with 5 rules you noticed in my examples.

Save it. Every prompt below starts from it.

2

Step 2: Write your welcome email

Copy this inUsing my business brain, write the first email a new subscriber gets. It should: - Thank them and remind them how they joined: [the form, free guide or page they signed up on]. - Tell them in two or three lines who I am and why I'm worth reading. Real facts only. - Tell them what they'll get from me and how often: [for example, one short email each weekday]. - Ask one easy question they can reply to, like what they're stuck on right now. - Have one clear link at most. Under 200 words. Give me three subject lines to choose from.

The reply question is worth keeping. Real replies tell you what to write about next.

Step 3: Write a delivery email for every freebie

When someone asks for a guide, checklist or discount, the delivery email should arrive right away, with a clear subject line so they can find it.

Copy this inWrite the delivery email for this free resource: [name of the guide or checklist]. Link: [the link] What it helps with: [the problem it solves, in one line] Include: - A subject line that makes it obvious what's inside, like "Your [name] is here." - The link near the top. - Two or three lines on how to get the most out of it (the first step to take). - One sentence about what's coming next in their inbox. Under 150 words. Give me two subject line options.

Set this up as an automation in your email tool: someone signs up for that freebie, they get this email. One freebie, one delivery email.

Step 4: Turn today's video or post into today's email

This is the one that saves the most time. You already made the content. Now it becomes the email.

Copy this inTurn this into today's email to my list. Use my business brain for my voice. Here is today's [video script, transcript, post or blog]: [paste it] Link to watch or read it: [the link] Free thing that goes with it (if any): [the guide and its link, or none] Rules: - 100 to 200 words. Short paragraphs, one or two lines each. - Open with the problem in my customer's words, not with "In today's video." - Give one useful takeaway they can use even if they never click. - One clear link. If there's a free guide, that's the link. Otherwise, the video or post. - Only claims from my business brain or the script. No made-up numbers. - Give me 5 subject lines and a preview line (the gray text after the subject).

A quick example. A fitness studio owner posts a video: "Three stretches for desk workers." Claude turns the script into a 150-word email: it opens with "Your back hurts by 3pm because you've been sitting since 9," gives the first stretch in two lines, and ends with one link to the video. Same content, a second place to reach people, a few minutes of work.

5

Step 5: Test your subject lines

The subject line decides whether anyone reads the rest. Make Claude argue with itself before you pick.

Copy this inHere are my subject line options for this email: [paste the subject lines] Here's who's on my list: [who they are and what they care about] For each subject line: 1. Score it 1 to 10 on clarity (do they know what's inside?), curiosity, and honesty (does the email deliver what it promises?). 2. Say how it looks on a phone, where only about the first 35 to 40 characters may show. 3. Flag anything that sounds like spam or clickbait. Then write 3 better options and tell me which one you'd send and why. Never suggest a subject line the email doesn't live up to.

If your email tool can split-test subject lines, send two of them and keep a note of which kind of subject your list opens. Over time, you'll learn what works for your list instead of guessing.

6

Step 6: Build a 5-email nurture sequence

New subscribers don't know you yet. A short sequence, sent automatically over their first week or two, introduces you before your regular emails start.

Copy this inUsing my business brain, write a 5-email sequence for new subscribers, sent after the welcome email. 1. My story: why I do this work, short and true. 2. The biggest mistake my customers make about [your topic], and what to do instead. 3. A real example or client story: [a true story, with permission if it names someone] 4. My best free resource, with the link: [link] 5. An honest invitation to the next step: [book a call, buy, reply], who it's for and who it's not for. For each email: the day it sends (counting from sign-up), 3 subject lines, and the body. Under 250 words each. One clear link each. No pressure tactics and no invented results.

Step 7: The rules that keep your list healthy

  • Permission first. Only email people who asked to hear from you. Never buy a list or add people from your contacts without asking.
  • Make leaving easy. Every marketing email needs a working unsubscribe link and your business address. Your email tool usually adds both. Leave them in.
  • Honest subject lines. The subject must match what's inside. Tricks get you unsubscribes and spam reports.
  • Pick a send window. Choose a regular time and day and stick to it so people know when to expect you. Test a different time later if you want, and compare.
  • One clear link. One email, one job, one link.
  • Read every email before it sends. AI writes the draft. You're responsible for what goes out.
Copy this in before every sendCheck this email before I send it: [paste the email] Tell me: does the subject match the content, is there exactly one clear link, is every claim true according to my business brain, does anything sound like spam, and is it short enough to read on a phone? Then give me a fixed version.
