Manual wins do not scale.
Your calm sales need calm systems.
Today we wire the Freedom Funnel and set it to run while you rest. 🧘‍♀️

No code. No chaos.
Just a simple build that keeps your voice and saves your time.

I used to “hand send” every welcome email.
Copy. Paste. Pray I did not forget a link.

One day I missed a day.
Then three.
My list went cold.

So I sat down with tea and built one clean flow:
Connect → Educate → Invite, with tags, delays, and a loop back to my weekly notes.

It took one hour.
I have not missed a welcome since.
Sales got steady.
My brain got quiet. ✨

·       A 6-email automation with smart delays

·       Tags for intent and interest

·       Resend to non-openers

·       Clear UTMs on every link

·       A loop back to your weekly list

·       A 14-day check-in to tweak

Pick your tool: ConvertKit, Beehiiv, Mailchimp, Flodesk—any will do.

Name it Freedom Funnel – Nurture.
Trigger = “Joins list” or “Gets the lead magnet”.
Add a welcome path. Keep it tidy.

·       E1 (Welcome + quick win) — send immediately

·       Delay: 1 day

·       E2 (Origin + micro-reply)

·       Delay: 2 days

·       E3 (Teach the core idea)

·       Delay: 2 days

·       E4 (Melt one fear)

·       Delay: 2 days

·       E5 (Soft Invite)

·       Delay: 2 days

·       E6 (Proof + Preview)

·       Optional E7 (FAQ + gentle nudge) after 1 day

Short lines. One link per email. You know the drill. ✅

Create three intent tags:

·       Intent: Voice

·       Intent: Sales

·       Intent: Consistency

In E2, give three links that add one of those tags.
Use those tags to fork light follow-ups or add bonus PS lines later.

Create three interest tags tied to your offer:

·       Interest: Sprint

·       Interest: Templates

·       Interest: Coaching

Any click to those pages = tag added.
Tags make your follow-ups feel like they were written for one person. Because they were. 💌

For E3 and E5, clone the email.
Change the subject and the first line.
Send only to non-openers after 48 hours.
This saves launches. Quietly.

Every link gets UTMs so you can see winners in analytics:
?utm_source=email&utm_medium=nurture&utm_campaign=freedom-funnel&utm_content=e3-model

Simple, yes. But it will save you hours when you ask, “Which email drove the click?”

Add one line near the CTA:

·       “Cancel anytime.”

·       “Refund in 14 days, no hard feelings.”

·       “Seats limited so I can give notes.”

Put price near the button.
No hide-and-seek.

When the sequence ends, auto-add people to your regular newsletter.
Set a tag Completed: Freedom Funnel.
This helps you send a “Welcome to the weekly note” message next week.

·       Send the whole flow to your own email.

·       Click every link.

·       Check mobile.

·       Confirm tags fire.

·       Confirm delays feel kind (not spammy).

·       Fix typos you missed. (There will be one. It’s fine.)

Yes, flip the switch.
Don’t wait for perfect.
We iterate live. Not in theory.

·       Time windows: send at 9am local time for the reader.

·       Conditions: if Intent: Sales then add a PS with a sales tip.

·       Dynamic first name: use fallback (“friend”) if blank.

·       Smart send: hold Saturdays if your audience is B2B.

·       A/B subject tests: try two for E5 (Invite) and keep the winner.

·       Connect opens: 40–60%

·       Educate clicks: 2–10%

·       Invite conversion: 1–5%

·       Unsubs: calm and steady (under 1% per send)

If you miss these at first, breathe.
This is a system, not a verdict.
We tune.

Open your reports. Look for three things:

1.     The drop-off point.
Where do opens dip hard? Fix that subject and first line.

2.     The dead link.
If one email never earns a click, tighten the CTA or cut the scroll.

3.     The money email.
Which email drove the most sales page views? Make two more like it.

Then make one small change.
Not ten.
Small changes compound.

·       Too many links.
Fix: One link per email. Two max on Invite.

·       Fuzzy promises.
Fix: Add one clear “You will…” line near the button.

·       Aggro cadence.
Fix: Add a day between messages. Invite with care.

·       No replies.
Fix: In E2, ask a micro-question and tag clicks.

·       Cold list.
Fix: Add a “warm-up” broadcast before you drop folks into the funnel.

·       Automation named and trigger set

·       E1–E6 added with delays
