Build an email campaign

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.

I need an email campaign that drives registrations for our June 24 webinar. Use the new webinar landing page link, promote the early-bird code WELCOME25, and schedule the send for Tuesday June 10 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Send to the 'Leads - engaged 30 days' list, suppress anyone who attended our March webinar, and include Anna in marketing and Raj in events on the internal email. Check subject line variants and confirm the tracking parameters before scheduling.

Before I send this webinar invite, make it easy for busy recipients to act — put the date, time and Register button at the top, show the early-bird code WELCOME25 and the $15 savings in one line, make the deadline and refund policy obvious, and flag any links that go to a different domain than our landing page. Also call out anything in the copy that would make legal or events push back.

I uploaded the attendee list and some addresses bounced.
I uploaded the 'Leads - engaged 30 days' segment for the June 10 webinar blast and got a 6% bounce rate on import. I need to know whether this is bad list hygiene or a problem with the file, which will block sending to key prospects, and I can't tell if the bounce addresses are duplicates, typos, or disposable. Recommend the most likely diagnosis and the next three cleanup steps I should take now, given I have 48 hours before the send.

We keep rescuing campaigns from bad lists at the last minute.
We keep losing opens and credibility because our sends hit high bounce and complaint rates right before major campaigns. Across the past six months this has cost us at least two missed revenue goals. What three habits should I change in how we collect, validate and segment subscribers so our campaign lists are ready two weeks before sends and legal and events stop blocking launches? Prioritize steps that fit a small marketing team with limited budget.

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.
