What is Email Sequence?
An email sequence is a pre-planned, drip-delivered series of emails triggered by an action — opt-in, purchase, abandoned cart, course completion. Sequences run on autopilot through your ESP. Common types: welcome (educate + introduce), nurture (build trust toward a sale), launch (orchestrated pre-launch → launch → close), onboarding (activate buyers), and re-engagement (revive dormant subs).
Why it matters for creators
Sequences turn one-time work into evergreen revenue. A 7-email sequence written once can convert leads to customers every day for years without further effort.
How it works
- 1Define the trigger (form submit, purchase, tag added).
- 2Map the emails (subject, goal, CTA per email).
- 3Write each email — keep them short and on one idea.
- 4Set the cadence (often: day 0, 1, 3, 5, 7).
- 5Set tags/segments so people exit on conversion.
- 6Track open + click + conversion per email.
Examples
- 5-email welcome sequence ending in a $97 offer.
- 21-day launch sequence for a cohort.
- Abandoned-cart sequence for digital products.
Common mistakes
- Pitching in email 1 — too soon.
- Same sequence for every source — irrelevant context.
- No exit on conversion — buyers keep seeing pitch emails.
- Sequence ends with no clear next step.
