The Copy Check: 5 Things to Edit After Using ChatGPT to Write Emails
Let’s be honest...
You used ChatGPT to write that email.
It saved you half an hour. It sounded… okay.
But something felt off when you re-read it.
A bit too robotic.
A little too polished.
And somehow, it didn’t sound like you at all.
That’s because ChatGPT is great for speed, but it’s not built to write high-converting emails in your voice.
The fix?
A simple editing checklist that makes sure your email connects and converts.
Let’s dive in.
Copy Check #1: Cut the Fluff
AI loves filler phrases:
“In today’s fast-paced world…”
“It’s important to note that…”
“This email aims to…”
Delete them. Now.
Your audience wants clarity, not corporate.
Instead, start strong.
Grab their attention in the first sentence.
Start with a hook, a bold opinion, or a personal story.

Copy Check #2: Add a Human Voice
Read it aloud.
If it doesn’t sound like something you'd say in a voice note, rewrite it.
Swap:
“This comprehensive guide will help you grow your list.”
For:
“Here’s the exact step I’d use to grow your list if you were my client.”
You’re not writing an essay. You’re writing to a human.
Copy Check #3: Make It Specific
ChatGPT will give you vague advice like:
“Make sure your emails provide value.”
Cool. But what value? Be exact.
Add:
A personal example
A recent client win
A niche-specific insight
The more specific, the more believable.

Copy Check #4: Inject Your Personality
If your reader can’t tell it’s you, they won’t read it.
What do you usually say when you're ranting to a biz friend?
Drop in your quirks. Use your favourite phrases. Write like you talk.
That’s how your emails stand out.

Copy Check #5: Add a CTA That Doesn’t Feel Pushy
ChatGPT will give you:
“Click here to learn more.”
Boring. And ineffective.
Use a CTA that ties back to your reader’s motivation.
