How to Write a Great AI Prompt to Write an Email Newsletter
Most people ask AI to "Write a newsletter for my business"—and wonder why the output is mediocre. Here's how to write a prompt that actually gets you what you want on the first try.
"Write a newsletter for my business"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a weekly email newsletter for a personal finance brand targeting millennials (28–38). This week's topic: why high-yield savings accounts beat ISAs right now. Structure: punchy subject line, 2-sentence preview text, 300-word body with one key insight, one actionable tip, and a question to drive replies. Tone: smart but not condescending."
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Specifies audience, topic, and publishing cadence so the AI writes in context
Breaks the body into sections with word counts to prevent padding
Sets tone with a helpful tension: smart but not condescending
