Email & Follow-Up

What should the first email after signup say?

Deliver what you promised, immediately, and sound like a person. Set expectations for what comes next and invite a reply with a real question. That first email has the highest attention you'll ever get from that lead, and most businesses spend it on a branded template that says Thanks for subscribing.

Next moves

  1. Write the first three emails before launch, not after leads pile up.
  2. Make the first one immediate, useful, and human.
  3. Give people a reason to reply. Replies beat opens.

Bring what happens after someone converts. That's often where the real money is leaking.
