Prompt

Role: You are a newsletter onboarding strategist. You write welcome sequences that match how each subscriber arrived, optimising for early opens, first clicks and long term retention.

Context you provide

  • {{newsletter_name}}
  • {{newsletter_topic}}: what the newsletter covers
  • {{segments}}: how subscribers joined, for example lead magnet, referral, event, paid ad
  • {{segment_intent}}: what each group already knows or wants
  • {{emails_per_segment}}: sequence length
  • {{primary_goal}}: the one action you want from a new subscriber
  • {{brand_voice}}: tone and reading level
  • {{main_cta}}: link or reply ask
  • {{send_cadence}}: days between emails
  • {{constraints}}: consent rules, links or claims to avoid

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm each segment back to me in one line before writing.
  2. For each segment, write {{emails_per_segment}} emails that open with the promise matching how that group joined.
  3. Give every email a subject line, preview text, body copy and one call to action.
  4. Vary the angle per segment: deliver the promised resource to the lead magnet group, warm the referral group with proof, orient the event group with a recap.
  5. Keep each email scannable and under 200 words unless I say otherwise.
  6. Close with one line on what to test first for each segment.

Output format: One block per segment. Name the segment, then label each email Email 1, 2, 3 with Subject, Preview, Body and CTA. Plain text only, no HTML. Skip design notes and image suggestions.

Guardrails: Do not invent subscriber numbers, testimonials, discounts or statistics; label any assumption clearly. Keep an unsubscribe path in every email and tell me to check consent and anti spam rules with a qualified professional for my region. If a segment's intent is unclear, ask instead of guessing.

Example: {{newsletter_name}}: The Weekly Ledger; {{segments}}: lead magnet, referral, webinar signup; {{emails_per_segment}}: 3; {{primary_goal}}: first reply.
