Here's my previous email that converted well [attach context]. Write me a 150-word email that creates urgency around my time management course for working moms, focusing on the fear of missing their kids' milestones due to work overwhelm, and format it as a ready-to-send email including subject line." Step 3: Mastering Pull vs Push Technique Push Prompting: You do 80% of work, AI finishes last 20% Pull Prompting: Give AI an outcome, have it figure out how to get there Instead of: "Here's my outline, write my blog post" Try: "I need a blog post that converts cold traffic to email subscribers for my parent productivity newsletter. Ask me all the questions you need to create this for me, then give it back in ready-to-publish format." Step 4: Create Your Master Prompt The secret weapon separating AI amateurs from masters Give AI your personal manual Say: "I want to create a master prompt for my role as a parent entrepreneur building digital products and online courses. Ask me all the questions you need to create it for me."
