A good affiliate email reads like a friend telling you about something worth a look. A bad one reads like the vendor’s sales page got photocopied.

This prompt from my toolbox writes the good kind. You give it the real details and your real reason for recommending it, and it builds the email around that.

The filled prompt
Write an affiliate promo email for a product I'm recommending to my list.

Product: KDP Profit Finder PLR, by Arun Chandran
What it is: 7 PLR articles (8,121 words, 50 images and screenshots) on finding profitable non-fiction niches and book ideas for Amazon KDP
Price: $12.95 at launch, going up to $17 when the launch ends
Rights: buyers can edit it, put their name on it, publish it on their blog, send it to their list or turn it into videos. They can't resell the pack itself.
Why I'm recommending it: Arun is one of the few PLR creators who writes like a real person, and research is the step most new KDP authors skip
My list: content creators who buy PLR and AI tools
My voice: casual, direct, a little funny

Write a subject line (give me 3 options) and an email under 220 words. Open with a quick line about why I'm sending it, then what it is, who it's for, the rights in plain English, and the price. One link: [AFFILIATE LINK]. Don't invent results, testimonials or deadlines.

I ran it in Gemini using a real product I promoted to my own list last week, Arun Chandran’s KDP Profit Finder PLR. It got every fact right: 7 articles, 8,121 words, 50 screenshots, $12.95 going to $17. It explained the rights in plain English, too. And it gave me a line I wish I’d written:

“Unlike most PLR that reads like a manual for a 1990s toaster, Arun writes like a real human.”

Make It Yours!

Swap in the product, your reason and your list.

The template
Write an affiliate promo email for a product I'm recommending to my list.

Product: [NAME], by [CREATOR]
What it is: [WHAT'S INSIDE]
Price: [PRICE AND ANY REAL PRICE CHANGE]
Rights or terms: [WHAT BUYERS CAN AND CAN'T DO, IF IT MATTERS]
Why I'm recommending it: [YOUR REAL REASON]
My list: [WHO'S ON IT]
My voice: [HOW YOU SOUND]

Write a subject line (give me 3 options) and an email under 220 words. Open with a quick line about why I'm sending it, then what it is, who it's for, the terms in plain English, and the price. One link: [AFFILIATE LINK]. Don't invent results, testimonials or deadlines.

The Line You Should Not Touch!

“Why I’m recommending it: [YOUR REAL REASON]”

Leave that one alone, and fill it in for real. It’s the difference between an email from you and an email from the vendor’s swipe file.

Full Disclosure

It opened with “most people treat Amazon KDP like a lottery” (AI loves the “Most People” line) and added a claim about who’s “actually making money” that I never gave it. It also called the product “excellent,” which is a call you should make yourself.

One of the subject lines was “KDP is a goldmine,” which is exactly the hype I’d cut. Add your affiliate disclosure before you send, too. Writing for your own product launch instead? The Black Friday sequence prompt handles a full sale.
