10 ideas. 1 habit. Let’s go.

If you’re just tuning in, I’m creating a free email course live with you. [Click here to catch up with Lesson 1.]

Now that you’ve picked your email style, it’s time to fill it with stuff worth sending.

Because here’s the thing:

If you’re not consistently emailing your list, they will forget you exist.

And when you do show up with an offer? Crickets.

That’s not what you want.

So today’s prompt is about building a simple, sustainable email system—one that gives you ideas that attract your ideal audience and naturally lead toward your offer.

You don’t need a master plan.

You just need a few solid ideas and the habit of showing up.

🛠 Step 2: Build Your Simple Email System

👉 Paste this into ChatGPT (or whatever AI tool you’re using).

Use the same chat you started in Step 1 so it keeps the context:

I’ve decided on the format [newsletter / personal-style]. Based on the description of my business and offer from above, give me 10 relevant, easy-to-write email topic ideas that would attract my ideal audience and naturally lead toward my offer. Ask me a few questions about my offer, audience, and experience/expertise for more context before you give the ideas.

Swap in your email format from yesterday’s prompt—and if you didn’t do that one yet, no shame. Just start here. It still works.

Now, here’s what the prompt gurus don’t tell you:

You never know what you’re going to get.

You can run the same prompt ten times and get ten different answers—or ten different follow-up questions.

To use AI well, you have to iterate. Just like you would with a human assistant.

When I ran this prompt, ChatGPT asked me:

I answered in detail, and ChatGPT came back with ideas like:

What to do next:

✅ Pick one of the ideas.

(If you’re like me, this might be the hardest part. Self-doubt kicks in. You start second-guessing. If you get stuck, try this: tell ChatGPT you’re having trouble picking, describe your mood or mindset, and ask it to choose for you.)

✅ Write it. Doesn’t have to be perfect.

✅ Schedule it for this week.

Then rinse and repeat. One email a week, every week.

That’s the bare minimum if you want to stay top-of-mind and build momentum.

Need a platform?

• Use Beehiiv if you already have a list and want monetization tools

• Try Substack if you’re starting fresh and want built-in discovery

Quick reality check:

You don’t need 100 perfect ideas.

You don’t even need one perfect idea.

You just need a decent one.

I’ve stalled out too many times thinking I had to have the “right” idea or make it fit perfectly into some magical structure before I sat down to write.

Throw that garbage out.

You have to be bad to be good.

So be bad fast.

Pick an idea. Write it.

Pick a day. Set a reminder. Show up.

That’s how you build a list that grows and pays off over time.

Tomorrow, we’ll move to Prompt #3: how to get AI to actually write for you—without sounding like ChatGPT wearing a blazer.

Let’s keep going,
