Improve email deliverability

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.

The same task, four prompts

Send the latest newsletter, 'Spring Refresh,' to our entire subscriber list. Make sure it goes out by 2 PM Pacific today, and confirm the subject line 'Your Spring Refresh is Here!' is correct before sending.

Before we send out this week's sales announcement, check it for anything that might flag it as spam. Look for excessive exclamation points, all caps in the subject, or too many images without enough text. We need this to land in inboxes, not junk folders.

CDecide — diagnose the stuck momentOur open rates have tanked recently, and I'm worried our emails aren't even reaching people.…+
Our email open rates have dropped significantly on the last three campaigns.
Our open rates have tanked recently, and I'm worried our emails aren't even reaching people. I've been sending from a new domain, and I'm not sure if that's the issue or if our content is just getting blocked. What's the most likely reason for this sudden drop, and what's the first thing I should check or change to get us back on track?

DBecome — change the patternI'm constantly fighting to keep our emails out of spam folders, particularly with new sign-ups.…+
I keep seeing our emails ending up in the spam folder, especially for new subscribers.
I'm constantly fighting to keep our emails out of spam folders, particularly with new sign-ups. It feels like every few months, something changes, and our deliverability takes a hit. What's one foundational habit I need to build into our email process to consistently improve how reliably our messages reach the inbox, instead of just reacting to each new problem?

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.
