Are emails a waste of your time?

Did a robot write this email? - [AWeber logo](?awt_a=1w&awt_l=PBSlS&awt_m=3rjy4URQJndA) Hi, {NAME}! I’ve been sending emails for different companies for nearly 20 years (wow, am I dating myself) and I can tell you first hand that email marketing works. I have the data and longevity to prove it. I love creating emails, but it takes me at least an hour to write just one. And I write at least 3 a week for different segments ([see how to create segments](. Then after I write the emails (I draft my copy in a Google doc first), I have to transfer the copy into my AWeber account, format it, add images, add my call to action, and schedule the email. Now if [writing emails]( was my only job, then spending several hours a week just on email marketing would be fine. But I have other responsibilities. I’m sure you can relate. What am I doing about this? I'm using ChatGPT as my personal writing assistant. ChatGPT is an AI-powered (Artificial Intelligence or basically a robot) writing tool. I’ve been experimenting with it to write my emails. I type in what I’m looking for and it spits out my draft. The results are pretty darn good. So good I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. To prove this I’m testing my writing vs ChatGPT to see which one performs better. So ask yourself - are you currently reading Sean’s email or ChatGPT’s? I’ll let you know next week when I share the test results. In the meantime, reply and let me know which one you think you’re reading and why. And if you want to save time and possibly write better emails, then [try ChatGPT]( or [one of the other AI-powered writing tools available](.
