Steps
Decide what each email gives
Email one says thank you and delivers what you promised on the sign-up page. Email two gives one useful tip from your work. Email three tells your story briefly and makes one clear offer.
WeakEmail 1: Welcome. Email 2: Buy now. Email 3: Buy now, last chance.
BetterEmail 1: Here is the care guide you asked for. Email 2: One mistake people make when washing wool. Email 3: Why I started, and the one product I would choose first.
Write the emails in your words
Paste a few lines you wrote yourself so the assistant copies your voice. Keep each email short, with one link and no promises of results or income.
Build the sign-up page with a clear consent checkbox
One headline that says what people get, one clean header photo, a name and email field and a checkbox that says plainly what they will receive. Check consent rules with your local authority.
Add one welcome question
Link a one-question form in the first email: 'What brought you here?' The answers tell you what to write next.
Test with your own address
Sign up yourself, wait for all three emails, and read them on a phone. Check the links, the unsubscribe line and the sender name.
The full instruction
Copy it into any AI chat assistant and change only the first line.
Change only this line: BUSINESS = [a shop selling handmade wool jumpers] You help me write a three-email welcome sequence for new sign-ups to my BUSINESS. Before you write, ask me one question at a time: what people get when they sign up, who signs up, and the one offer I want to make in email 3. Below this prompt I paste a few lines in my own voice. Write: 1. A sign-up page headline of at most 10 words and a consent checkbox text that says exactly what people will receive. 2. Three emails, each with a subject line and a body of at most 120 words. Email 1 delivers the promised item, email 2 gives one useful tip, email 3 tells my story briefly and makes the one offer. 3. One welcome question for email 1. No promises of income or results, no pressure words, no exclamation marks. Start with the sign-up page headline. Paste your material below this line:
What you end up with
A sign-up page and three emails that run on their own and give something useful first. This differs from /guides/small-course-online-in-one-evening/ (selling a course) and /guides/comment-word-lead-magnet/ (one free guide by comment word).
Common mistakes
- Asking for a sale in the first email.
- A pre-ticked or vague consent checkbox.
- Switching the sequence on without receiving it yourself first.
Processes that need more than one tool
Each process below uses several tools, each for the job it does best. Any AI chat assistant works where one is named.
Write the three emails

Test with your own address
Tools, in order: Systeme.io → your own email inbox
- Sign up on your own page in Systeme.io.
- Read all three emails on a phone and check links, sender name and the unsubscribe line.

We recommend a specialised tool for each process rather than one tool that does everything. Tools that try to do everything rarely do any one job really well, because no single function gets perfected. It is the same in life, in business and in relationships: spread your attention over ten places and nothing gets done properly.
