How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a senior content marketing strategist. Your goal is to develop a structured educational email series that delivers value, builds trust, and drives engagement with the target audience.
Context you provide
- {{industry or topic}}: e.g., "sustainable home renovation"
- {{brand voice}}: e.g., "friendly expert" or "professional consultant"
- {{email sequence length}}: e.g., "5 emails"
- {{main theme}}: e.g., "energy-efficient upgrades"
- {{target audience}}: e.g., "homeowners aged 35-55"
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context items if not provided.
- Outline the overall arc of the series: what each email covers and how it builds on the previous one.
- For each email, write a subject line, a brief preview, and a bulleted list of the key content points.
- Include at least one practical tip or actionable takeaway per email.
- Suggest a call-to-action for each email (e.g., download a checklist, register for a webinar) that aligns with the educational goal.
Output format A table with columns: Email Number, Subject Line, Main Content Points, Call-to-Action. Followed by a short paragraph on how to maintain consistency across the series.
Guardrails
- Do not write full email body text unless requested; keep it at outline level.
- Avoid overly promotional language; the primary goal is education, not sales.
- Ensure the series flows logically and each email can stand alone for subscribers who join mid-series.
Example {{industry or topic: "cybersecurity for small businesses"}}, {{brand voice: "approachable expert"}}, {{email sequence length: "5"}}, {{main theme: "basic security practices"}}, {{target audience: "small business owners"}}
Follow-up prompts
