Why send three welcome emails instead of one?

Why send three welcome emails instead of one?

A welcome sequence is a short series of automatic emails new subscribers get over their first days. Like guiding a guest room by room instead of leaving them in the hallway.

Why it matters: a course seller had one welcome email, then silence for two weeks. New people went cold before any offer.

Here's the simple three-step series:
— Step 1: email 1 (day 0) welcomed and delivered the freebie
— Step 2: ✅ email 2 (day 2) shared one helpful tip, email 3 (day 4) made the first soft offer
— Step 3: tracked sales from new subscribers over 60 days

Result: first-week purchases from new subscribers rose 3x compared to the single-email version.

Tiny homework: jot down one helpful tip for email 2. Just the tip.
