Ask Us ANYTHING: Secret AI Trick! 200% Increased Engagement! | Ep. 454

AI sounds like a shortcut until your “great” ideas flop in the wild, and that is exactly what Jay Schwedelson digs into here. He breaks down a simple 100,000 person prompt that quietly flips AI out of generic creative mode and into deeper statistical thinking, then shares what happened when he A/B tested it on subject lines and CTAs. Plus, a surprisingly relatable question about hating phone calls turns into a legit strategy for staying connected without awkward calls or endless text threads.

Prompts mentioned:

• Predict how 100,000 real subscribers would respond to each of these subject lines, rank them by expected open rate, and explain the psychology.
• Evaluate this hero section as if 100,000 new visitors landed on this landing page. Identify confusion points and drop-off risks.
• How would 100,000 consumer buyers or 100,000 B2B buyers interpret this offer? What is confusing, what is strong, and what is missing?
• We want you to simulate 100,000 people interacting with this call-to-action button. What should the language be?
