AI Quick Gifts for Subscribers

Subscriber retention can be difficult if all you do is get people on your list and spam them with promotions. You need to nurture those relationships so that you make people want to stick with their subscription.

But how can you do that when there are so many competitors vying for their attention in their inbox? Most people will simply begin unsubscribing when they reach that point of overwhelm where their inbox is too crowded to get any value from it.

To make sure you’re not one of the ones who is eliminated, you have to cater to the needs of your subscribers in an on-going basis. That not only means your emails need to contain valuable information such as tips and advice, but that you periodically surprise them with an unexpected gift.

As a solo entrepreneur, it can be time consuming to manage every aspect of your business, so you might keep shoving this task to the backburner until you realize it’s been forever since you gifted your list anything new.

This is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in handy. You can whip up quick and easy gifts using AI that are specific to the interests of your subscribers and showcase your desire to continue helping them in their quest to achieve their goals.

You don’t need any fancy or expensive tools to do the job. You can tap into free AI tools to create the gifts you want to send out to subscribers in order to have them view you as a valuable resource in their lives.

The Types of Gifts AI Can Create for You in a Flash

You’re not limited to any one type of gift. Sometimes, you’ll find that certain types of gifts go over better with some audiences than others. You can use the following list to help you change things up so your gift giving isn’t repetitive.

Checklists make a great gift for subscribers. You can use AI to compile steps for a process that you can give to your list that help them carry out a process with an “at-a-glance” system rather than an entire course.

Cheat sheets work in a similar fashion. Instead of checking off tasks, you’ll help them with understanding concepts better so they don’t have to review the original lengthy resources – kind of like a Cliffs Notes version.

Short reports can be created by AI to zero in on a specific concept that your list might need help with. Instead of a major course on search engine optimization, for example, you might create a short report just on setting up meta data or voice optimization.

Infographics or flowcharts are always appreciated because it gives people with a visual preference something to guide them in understanding information or implementing a process.

Templates work well for many niches if your subscriber needs to use something for a repetitive task and you can have AI create templates that even include your branding for familiarity.

Workbooks and journal sheets both help your subscribers carry out activities with some guidance and input, letting them write down their progress and track the results of what you are teaching them.

Quizzes or assessments work well as gifts and people love doing them. Your AI tool can create something where subscribers answer a series of questions and get results that feel uniquely personalized to their needs.

Schedules are another beneficial gift for anything that requires timing. This might be a content planning schedule, diet schedule for intermittent fasting, health schedules, and so on.

Base Your Gifts on the Needs of Your Subscribers

You’re going to know what’s best for your audience, but don’t discount their input in the development of the gifts you have AI create. You want to be addressing things you know they’re struggling with.

Sometimes, as a leading niche expert, you forget what it’s like to have less knowledge about a subject, and you assume people already know what you know. By listening to your subscribers and the target audience in general, you’ll be able to gift them something they find useful.

You’ll need to up your social listening skills for this purpose. You want to have eyes glued to forums, social media, and competitors blogs to see what your niche audience is complaining about, in need of, and appreciating.

This is in addition to surveying and polling your subscribers directly. If you have a list, use a tool like Survey Monkey, or poll them in a Facebook group to ask for their input on what they would like to see you create.

You can leave it open ended so they can fill in the requests themselves, give them options to choose from (that they may not have known they needed) or make a hybrid with selections and an option to add their own.

Don’t Do the Bare Minimum with AI Gifts

You don’t want to just go to AI and prompt something like, “Create a checklist my list of survival preppers will appreciate,” You want to play a more involved role in generating the gift through the use of AI.

You can give it the results of the data you gathered from social listening and surveying to begin with. Then prompt it asking it to be innovative with its ideas to help you set yourself apart from the competition.

Whenever it creates something short, get it to expand on it so the information goes in depth rather than something surface-level they can find anywhere. The idea is to make them see value, not to rush in getting a free, but worthless gift out.

Another thing you want to do is double check the information. You never want to rely heavily on AI to be accurate when you’re the one who is the supposed expert. Go through and make sure AI didn’t write something that’s not correct because your subscribers will blame you, not technology.

After it’s created, make sure you personalize and brand it so that it is reflective of your name and memorable so when they refer back to it, they remember it’s something you gave them (of value) for free.

Niche Example of Free AI Gifts You Can Send Subscribers

Let’s look at some sample prompts and niche gift ideas to help you envision the possibilities. We’ll use weight loss as our niche example to showcase the ideas you might use.

For weight loss, you could send out a weekly meal planning template they can print out and use from week to week. It could be blank or, if you have a list with specific dietary goals, you might prompt AI like this: “Create a one-week meal plan for diabetics using keto to lose weight with specific macros, an ingredients list, portion specifications and cooking instructions.”

Or, you might prompt AI for a quiz assessment like this: “Create a quiz helping subscribers figure out their best weight loss diet based on their goals, preferences and dietary needs. Give me the questions and end results they might get based on their answers.”

Another option might be to prompt AI for a short report like this: “Outline a short report for mistakes people make when trying to lose weight and offer practical tips to overcome them.” (Then prompt it to write it section by section for you.)

For a cheat sheet, you can prompt AI like this: “Create a cheat sheet showcasing the macronutrients for common keto-friendly foods that include carbs, net carbs, protein and fats.”

You can have AI create a weight loss checklist like this: “Create a grocery shopping checklist for the Mediterranean Diet with categories for lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.”

A weight loss AI-created workbook might start with a prompt like this: “Create a Weight Loss Motivation workbook that includes goal setting, habit tracking, emotional journaling, and motivational quotes and tips.”

For a visual free gift for this niche, prompt AI like this: “I want an infographic that showcases different exercises and how many calories they burn with an emphasis on exercising as little as possible for maximum calorie expenditure.”

All of these can be created by simply prompting AI to give you a list of gift ideas for your specific niche based on your subscriber needs and the type of gift you may want to send out – and you can generate new ideas time and time again to keep your subscribers happy.
