Automate marketing tasks

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Schedule the welcome email sequence to new subscribers for the 'Spring Collection' list. Send the first email immediately, then the second after two days, and the third after five days. Make sure all three emails are ready to go.

Before I set up the automated welcome series for the 'New Customer' list, look at the last six months of open rates for our current welcome emails. Suggest which subject lines and content types have performed best so I can make this new series more engaging from the start.

The automated abandoned cart email sequence went out, but sales haven't picked up.
Our automated abandoned cart sequence just finished its run for the last week, but I'm not seeing the bump in sales I expected. I'm afraid we're losing customers who were almost ready to buy. Did the emails even reach them? Was the offer clear enough? What's the most likely reason this isn't working, and what should I try next to recover those sales?

I keep forgetting to follow up with new leads who don't immediately convert.
I'm losing too many potential customers because I'm not consistently following up with new leads who don't convert from the initial outreach. I get caught up in daily tasks and just forget. What habit should I change to ensure every new lead gets a timely, relevant follow-up without me having to manually track each one?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Mailchimp's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
