<b>What should my very first email to a new subscriber be?</b>

The first email someone gets after joining is your welcome email, and it's the most-opened email you'll ever send — often 50% or more. People just raised their hand; they remember you right now.

Don't waste that moment on a quiet "thanks." Set the tone.

— Step 1: Send it automatically, instantly. Find the "welcome" or "automation" trigger in your tool set to fire on signup.
— Step 2: ✅ Tell them three things: who you are, what they'll get, and how often. "Expect one email each Tuesday."
— Step 3: Give one small thing to do — reply with a question, or click your best free resource.

Why it matters: a reply or click in the first email teaches inboxes you're wanted.

Homework: open your current welcome email. Does it set expectations clearly?
