7 ways my community is using ai for their email marketing

AI isn't going anywhere — but that doesn't mean it has to take over your inbox. In this practical and encouraging episode, Liz Wilcox — the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing — shares seven creative ways real business owners are using AI to make email marketing easier, faster, and more effective. From research help to tidying up drafts, these examples show you how to use AI as a tool, not a crutch, while keeping your brand voice front and center. Episode Highlights The growing conversation inside The Email Sound Booth Facebook Group about AI and email marketing. How Liz currently approaches AI — she doesn't use it yet, but loves seeing how others do. 7 ways creators and marketers are using AI right now: Custom GPTs built from past emails to generate new drafts and subject lines that outperform originals. Research and idea generation to plan campaigns without relying on AI for final writing. Inbox replies — training AI to mimic your tone and save time responding to emails. Graphic creation — using AI-generated visuals to inspire themes for newsletters or flash sales. Email wrap-ups — letting AI "put a tidy bow" on unfinished drafts. Template customization — members using Liz's templates inside ChatGPT to tailor them for their brand or even translate them. Advanced personalization and analytics — using AI for segmentation, A/B testing, and optimizing send times. Liz's favorite takeaway: AI can make writing easier, but your unique tone and creativity are still irreplaceable. A reminder that all Email Marketing Membership templates are written 100% by hand — woman-made, not AI-made — but you can use AI to "zhuzh" them up if you want. Key Takeaways AI is a tool, not a threat: Use it to support your creativity, not replace it. Start small: Try AI for research, editing, or visuals before diving into automation. Protect your voice: Your tone and authenticity are what make your emails work. Use what fits your style: There's no one-size-fits-all — use AI in ways that serve your process. Stay curious: The best results come from experimenting with intention and balance.
