10 email subject lines people actually open
From your already-written email, generate 10 different subject lines and preview lines, ready to test until you find the one people open.
Most emails die in the inbox because the subject line doesn't make people want to open it. This prompt takes the email you already wrote and gives you 10 tested options by category, with their preview line, so you can test which one converts best before sending it to your whole list.

Full prompt
Act as an email marketing copywriter who specializes in open rates. Here is the email I already wrote: [PASTE YOUR FULL EMAIL HERE] Context: - Who I'm sending it to: [DESCRIBE YOUR AUDIENCE] - What I want them to feel when they see the subject: [curiosity / real urgency / clear benefit / surprise] - My name or sender brand: [YOUR NAME OR BRAND] Give me 10 different subject lines based on the actual content above, grouped into these 5 categories (2 of each): 1. Curiosity (leave an open question, without being empty clickbait) 2. Direct benefit (say exactly what the reader gains) 3. Personal / conversational (as if writing to a friend) 4. Real urgency (only if the email has a real date or deadline) 5. Number or concrete data point For each subject line: - 50 characters max (it gets cut off on mobile). - No shouting caps, no more than 1 emoji, no "urgent" or "last chance" unless it's actually true. - Add the preview text (first line of the email) that complements the subject, 90 characters max, without repeating the same words. Rules: don't invent offers, discounts, or dates that aren't in my email. If the email doesn't give enough context for a category, say so instead of making it up. At the end, mark the 2 subject lines you recommend testing first with a ⭐ and explain why in one sentence.
