Building an Email Course Live

Want to know something kinda crazy?
I'm about to run a live experiment... with YOU... that could completely change how you think about using AI in your email marketing.
And I'm doing it in the most transparent way possible:
By building it right in front of you.
Here's the deal:
Over the next few days, I'm gonna show you how to finally get your email list started (or growing again) using just a few clever AI prompts and 30 minutes or so a day.
No complicated funnels.
No BS fluff.
No writing like some cheesy internet marketer.
Just a simple, focused sprint to get you from "Yeah... I really should start emailing..." to actually sending stuff people LOVE reading.
And here's the cool part...
This isn't some polished, pre-packaged course.
We're doing this together, LIVE.
Why?
Because I want to create an actually useful lead magnet for this newsletter. Sure, I've got the PDF cheatsheet (more on that in a sec)...
But I think turning it into a free mini email course could be way more valuable for both of us.
See, email courses are sneaky powerful because:
They build real value over time (unlike PDFs that die in download folders)
They get readers actually opening your emails (habit formation for the win)
They let you naturally share paid offers without feeling like that sweaty guy at the used car lot
But here's the thing...
I'm testing this idea with just 30-45 minutes a day of focused work.
Because if I can't make it work in that time... how can I expect you to?
So I'm doing it live. Real-time. No fancy editing.
(Think of it as "reality TV" for email marketing)
Then I'll take what works, polish it up, and turn it into an automated sequence in Beehiiv.
(More on why I chose Beehiiv over other platforms soon...)
Ready to play along?
Here's step 1:
Grab these 3 battle-tested AI prompts:

Each prompt is specifically designed to help you:
Find YOUR unique email voice and structure (so it sounds like YOU, not RoboWriter3000, and feels natural enough to stick with)
Generate endless relevant content ideas (the AI part is easy - picking the winners is the real skill - we'll cover that)
Write your first 1-3 emails FAST (coffee-still-hot fast, but with enough editing to avoid the AI-generated word salad trap)
We'll dive deeper into each one over the next few days...
But if you're the type who likes to get ahead (or just wants to bookmark this for that mythical "quiet moment" with your coffee)...
I'll be back tomorrow to break down exactly how to use the first prompt.
Thanks for reading!

P.S. Quick heads up - I'll be sending these daily (Monday-Friday only - weekends are sacred family time). Once this series wraps, expect regular emails most weekdays. Not your thing? No hard feelings - there's an unsubscribe link below. But if you stick around... this is gonna be fun 😉
