Building the Perfect Welcome Series
Jeff Lusczynski of Convert Factor walks through his six-email welcome sequence — one email at a time. The order, what each email argues, and where the copy does the persuading.

What’s in this one
The welcome series is the low-hanging fruit of email — the flow every new subscriber sees and most brands under-build. Jeff breaks down the cardinal sins first, then the fix: a six-email sequence with a specific job for each send.
Also covered: campaigns vs. automations, where humor belongs in email copy, and static vs. dynamic discount codes. (And Jeff’s favorite song, because we always ask.)
