Example Lead Magnets:

Add this to the thank-you page or first email:

“What are you most interested in?”

• Making money with AI
• Growing a YouTube channel
• Email marketing
• E-commerce

This triggers tagging.

Phase 2: Welcome & Authority Sequence (Days 0–3)

These emails build trust and position you as the expert.

Email 1 – Delivery + Quick Win

Send immediately.

Goal: Deliver value fast.

Structure:

• Welcome

Each track includes:

1. Deep value email

This is where money begins.

Phase 4: Core Offer Introduction (Days 7–14)

Now introduce your main offer.

Phase 5: Behavior-Based Automation

Now you branch again.

If:

• Clicked but didn’t buy → 3-email objection series
• Opened but didn’t click → Curiosity-based angle
• Didn’t open → New subject line resend
• Purchased → Upsell flow

Automation drives 37%+ revenue.

Phase 6: Evergreen Weekly Authority Loop

After sales cycle, move to weekly broadcast rhythm.

Structure:

Week 1: Value breakdown
