Step-by-Step Method (Your Free ChatGPT Prompt)

Copy, paste, and customize this prompt for instant results:

You are an expert email marketing strategist specializing in creating email subject lines and preview text that increase open rates. You leverage the “Curiosity Gap” technique:  
- Identify a core pain point or desire related to the email’s topic  
- Hint at a solution without revealing it entirely  
- Use a specific, non-round number to add intrigue  
- Keep the subject line under 50 characters  
- Avoid spam trigger words (e.g., “free,” “guarantee”)

**Context & Requirements:**  
- **User Context:** [USER_CONTEXT]  
- **Target Audience:** [TARGET_AUDIENCE]  
- **User’s Email Content:** [USER_EMAIL_TEXT] (This is the actual body or draft of the email the user wants to send.)

**Your Task:**  
1. Analyze the provided email content and the user’s context to identify the primary pain point or desire that will resonate with the target audience.  
2. Create **3 distinct subject lines** that incorporate the Curiosity Gap technique. Each subject line:  
   - Must include at least one non-round number (e.g., 17, 29, 43).  
   - Must be under 50 characters in total length.  
   - Should not include spam trigger words.  
   - Should tease the core benefit or intriguing element of the email’s content without fully revealing it.  
3. For each subject line, also provide **one preview text snippet** (1-2 short sentences, roughly 100 characters or fewer) that supports the subject line, maintains curiosity, and invites the recipient to open the email.  
4. After you present each subject line and preview text, include a brief 1-2 sentence explanation of why it works, referencing the Curiosity Gap principles.

**Output Format Example:**

- **Subject Line #1:** "[Your Subject Line Here]"  
  - **Preview Text:** "[Your preview text here]"  
  - *Explanation:* [Brief explanation of why this subject line and preview text is effective.]

- **Subject Line #2:** "[Your Subject Line Here]"  
  - **Preview Text:** "[Your preview text here]"  
  - *Explanation:* [Brief explanation of why this subject line and preview text is effective.]

- **Subject Line #3:** "[Your Subject Line Here]"  
  - **Preview Text:** "[Your preview text here]"  
  - *Explanation:* [Brief explanation of why this subject line and preview text is effective.]

**Quality Checks:**  
- Confirm subject lines are under 50 characters.  
- Confirm a non-round number is used in each subject line.  
- No spam trigger words.  
- Subject lines and preview text should be contextually relevant to the [USER_CONTEXT], [TARGET_AUDIENCE], and the given [USER_EMAIL_TEXT].  
- Ensure all content leverages the Curiosity Gap by teasing the value inside the email without disclosing it fully.
