My 7 best AI prompts from 2025
(To grow & monetize your email list)
We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.
Over the past 12 months, I’ve created 50+ AI Prompts to help you:
Grow your email list faster
Turn casual readers into loyal fans
And drive more email revenue (with a fraction of the time & the effort)
But chances are - you missed some of the best frameworks I shared throughout the year.
So today, I’d like to do a little recap and share with you 6 of my most popular AI Email Marketing Prompts of 2025 (plus one of the most value-packed mini-courses I created this year!).
That way, you can have them handy as you think about your Email & Newsletter Strategy for the New Year.
So, let’s dig in, shall we?
Prompt #1: 30-Day Content Series Brainstormer
Tired of waking up every day wondering “what the heck should I post today?”
This prompt helps you escape the Daily Content Roulette by designing a 30-day content series that compounds into social posts, newsletter content, lead magnets, and even paid products.
Just plug in your niche and offer, and it’ll generate 10 custom series ideas with built-in viral hooks and daily formats.
Prompt #2: Hyper-Congruent Lead Magnet Ideator
Most creators use the same generic lead magnet for every piece of content they publish.
Greg Isenberg does the opposite - and it’s one of the reasons he’s been able to grow his email list so quickly.
This prompt helps you brainstorm 10 lead magnet ideas that are perfectly aligned with any specific piece of content you create.
The result?
More clicks, more opt-ins, and more juice out of every post, video, or newsletter you publish.
Prompt #3: Sales Page Generator
Your emails can be incredible - but if your sales page doesn’t seal the deal, then all your hard work goes to waste.
Now, the thing is…
Writing a good sales page can take tens of hours of intense, focused work.
Luckily, with this prompt you can get your first draft ready in 20 minutes (instead of 20 hours).
It’s built on the exact 11-part framework we’ve used to write sales pages for multiple 6-figure launches—including one that generated $211,000+ in just 7 days.
Prompt #4: On-The-Go Newsletter Generator
I used to spend almost 2 hours writing one newsletter each week.
Now it takes me 30-40 minutes - and I do most of the heavy lifting while I’m on a walk.
(Seriously!)
This issue breaks down my entire “voice-first” writing workflow and includes a prompt to create a custom copywriting style guide (so your AI can actually write in your voice).
Prompt #5: LinkedIn Post To Newsletter Expander
If you’re posting on LinkedIn but struggling to figure out what to write in your newsletter, you’re sitting on a goldmine.
Every one of your best-performing posts could easily be repurposed as a newsletter - most of your subscribers probably never saw them anyway.
This prompt helps you brainstorm 10 ways to expand any LinkedIn post into a valuable email in 10-15 minutes.
Prompt #6: Newsletter Positioning Mastermind
The newsletter trend I’m most bullish on going into 2026:
Newsletters that don’t feel like newsletters.
Leila Hormozi is a great example.
She recently repositioned her newsletter with a tiny tweak, and now her emails feel 10x more valuable (even though the actual content didn’t change as much).
This 2-part prompt helps you brainstorm a unique positioning angle for your newsletter - and then translate it into compelling value propositions that make people actually want to subscribe.
(Bonus!) Lead Magnet Ideation Mastery
This year, I grew my email list to 10,000+ email subscribers.
And none of this would have been possible without my lead magnets.
So I put together an entire mini-course to help you brainstorm, validate, and create lead magnets that actually grow your email list and your business.
Inside, I walk you through my 7 go-to techniques for coming up with lead magnet ideas—each with a real example and an AI prompt you can use to brainstorm your own.
If growing your email list is a priority for 2026, be sure to bookmark this one.

Very insightful and useful, thanks for sharing.
Daniel - Thanks for sharing such consistent value this year. Your prompts and strategic approach have revolutionized how I publish on Substack and work with Kit and Notion.
The tip I'm most looking forward to adopting is the hyper-specific lead magnet for each article. Genius stuff.
