No Time to Write Emails? Here’s How to Create Them Quickly

Creating engaging email content can be daunting, especially when you’re short on time and unsure what to write. But the good news is, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can use content you already have and tools like ChatGPT to streamline the process.

Here’s a simple 3-Step guide on how to do it.

1. Use Your Existing Content

Writing new content for every email is time-consuming and exhausting. So don’t bother.

Instead, repurpose the content you already have...

• Blog Posts
  Share links to your most popular blog posts that provide how-to guides or solve common problems. These posts already contain valuable information that your subscribers will appreciate.

• Social Media Posts
  Highlight your top-performing social media posts, such as short video tips or insightful quotes. These posts are quick to consume and can drive engagement.

Action for you to take :

Compile a list of your top resources from blog posts to social media posts. Use these as the basis for your email content. Remember, the resources need to focus on your subscribers painpoints.

2. Structure Your Emails

What’s the best way to structure your emails I hear you say, well as always it’s : Keep it simple.

Use a simple structure for every email: Pain Point, Solution, Action.

• Pain Point: Start by addressing a common problem your audience faces.

• Solution: Offer a solution or insight related to that problem.

• Action: End with a call to action, guiding your readers to a resource, product, or service.
  
  It’s as simple as that.
  

Action for you to take :
Draft a few email templates using this structure. Here’s an example:

Subject: Struggling with [Pain Point/Challenge]?

Body: "Hi [Subscriber's Name],

Dealing with [Pain Point/Challenge] can be tough.

[Brief Solution that addresses the pain point and offers immediate value.]

Take the next step and check out [Resource/Product/Service] that can help you even further. [Link]

Best, [Your Name]

3. Use ChatGPT to Generate Templates

“I have no time to write emails, they take too long”

Yes writing email content from scratch can be time-consuming if you don’t know what to write or how to structure it. But since you’ve just read step 1 and 2, you now can’t use that excuse…

Well okay, I’ll let you use that excuse one more time, provided that you make sure to follow this advice.

Introducing AI and ChatGPT: AI tools like ChatGPT can help you quickly generate high-quality email content. These tools use advanced algorithms to understand your prompts and create engaging text based on the information you provide. This can save you a significant amount of time and effort, allowing you to maintain consistent communication with your subscribers without the hassle.

How to Use ChatGPT:

Step 1: Open up ChatGPT and decide which piece of content addresses the pain point for this email.

Step 2: Summarise your piece of content in a short few sentences. For example, "Summarise the main points of my blog post on time-saving email strategies."

Step 3: Provide ChatGPT with a prompt, such as "Write me an email template that uses this content: [Insert your summary here]. Follow this structure: [Pain Point], [Solution], [Next Step]."

Step 4: Review the generated content and tweak it to fit your style and message.

Step 5: Copy and paste the content into your email template.

Example Prompts:

• “Write an email template that uses this content: [Insert your summary here] Follow this structure: [Pain Point], [Solution], [Next Step]."

• "Create an email template that follows the structure of [Pain Point], [Solution], [Next Step] using this summary: [Insert your summary here]"
