Read Time: 7.0 minutes

Hey there, Creator!

Is your email list growth growing at a snail's pace?

You're pouring your heart and soul into your content, but those subscriber numbers aren’t converting into email subscribers.

And the few individuals who do join your list? Their engagement is like a snail trying to sprint – it’s just not happening.

Email lists are the backbone of nearly every thriving online business. It’s where relationships are nurtured, trust is built, and sales come to life.

So, when your business’s heart feels flatlining—your list growth stalling, engagement dropping—it’s downright maddening.

But what if there was a way to revive your list and supercharge it?

Imagine a powerful secret weapon that turns lukewarm prospects into loyal fans eagerly awaiting every message you send.

That secret weapon? It’s not a hack, a gimmick, or even a shiny new tool. It’s the quiet yet unstoppable force of an email course.

"The money is in the list, but the fortune is in the follow-up.”

From Zero to Hero: How I’m Growing My Followers With An Automated AI Process

The AI Escape Community has launched! As someone who's built a thriving online business from scratch, I know firsthand how game-changing the right strategies can be.

After being completely burned out on creating content, I was determined to build a more automated process that would double my content output while requiring half as much work.

That's when I discovered the power of leveraging AI for content creation.

By leveraging AI tools and frameworks, I was able to:

  • Create a week's worth of high-quality content in under 2 hours

  • Grow my audience on autopilot while capturing and following up with leads automatically

  • Automate and generate content that authentically resonates with my ideal audience, keeping them returning for more

  • And Much Much More…

And so, The AI Escape Community was born.

Why Email Courses are one of the Best Strategies for List-Building and Increasing Sales

Picture this scenario:

You're scrolling through the “Gram” when a reel captures your attention.

It promises to solve that persistent problem plaguing you like a swarm of mosquitoes on a hot summer afternoon, and all you have to do is comment the word “Free Course,” and the creator will DM you access to a free 7-day course.

Intrigued, you opt-in.

Over the next few days, you will receive a series of emails packed with:

  • Valuable insights

  • Practical tips

  • and a dash of personality that makes you feel like you're chatting with an old friend.

By the time you complete the course, you're not just armed with new knowledge and skills...

You're also completely enamored with the personal brand behind the emails.

You find yourself eagerly anticipating their next message, consuming their content voraciously, and when they finally present an offer?

You're reaching for your wallet faster than a politician reaching for a microphone.

That, my friend, is the allure of email courses.

BY DELIVERING YOUR MOST VALUABLE CONTENT IN A STRUCTURED, DIGESTIBLE FORMAT, YOU:
• Provide immense upfront value, fostering trust and reciprocity with your new subscribers
• Cement your status as the go-to expert in your niche, showcasing your credibility and authority (sans the stuffy tweed jacket)
• Prime your audience to be receptive to your paid offers when the time is right
• Give people a compelling reason to join your list, sending your subscriber growth into overdrive

But here's the real kicker:

Email courses are the most natural and least restrictive way to funnel subscribers toward your paid offers.

Think about it:

By the end of your course, your subscribers have experienced a taste of the incredible value you provide.

They've seen firsthand how your expertise can help them solve their problems and achieve their goals.

They're primed and ready for the next logical step: investing in your premium products or services.

Consider a ghostwriter who offers a free email course on "The 5 Secrets to Crafting a Magnetic Personal Brand."

Throughout the course, they share valuable tips and strategies for building a compelling online presence.

They illustrate the importance of storytelling, vulnerability, and consistency in attracting a devoted audience.

And then, in the final email, they extend an enticing invitation:

"If you've found value in this course and want to elevate your brand further, I'd be honored to help you share your story with the world. “Click here” to schedule a call and learn more about my bespoke ghostwriting services, designed to help you build an unforgettable online presence."

See how seamlessly that flows?

The email course provides immense standalone value while setting the stage for the ghostwriter's premium offer.

You can also hire a business coach who offers a free email course, "5 Days to Streamline Your Business and Boost Your Bottom Line."

Throughout the course, they share actionable tips for automating repetitive tasks, optimizing processes, and focusing on high-impact activities.

They paint a vivid picture of the time and money subscribers could save by implementing these strategies (enough to take that dream vacation to Bora Bora finally).

And then, in the final email, they make an alluring offer:

"If you're ready to take your business to new heights and finally achieve the freedom and profitability you deserve, I invite you to join my signature 16-week coaching program. Click here to apply and discover how I can help you build a wildly successful business on your terms."

Again, the email course provides tremendous value in its own right while also whetting the subscriber's appetite for the coach's high-ticket offer.

That's the beauty of email courses:

They allow you to build trust, establish your expertise, and prime your audience for your paid offers in a natural, authentic, and genuinely helpful way.

But crafting an email course that pushes all the right buttons is no simple task.

You need to know your audience inside and out, structure your content for maximum impact, and infuse every email with your unique brand voice and personality (don't be afraid to let your quirky side shine).

Fortunately, that's where AI comes to the rescue.

With creativity and the right prompts, you can generate a ready-to-launch email course in your niche faster than you can say "open rate."

And I'm about to walk you through the process, step by step.

The “7-Day Email Course Creator” Prompt

Feed your course topic into this prompt, and watch AI craft a mouthwatering 5-day email course that will leave your subscribers wanting more (and possibly naming their pets after you):

I want you to help me write a a 7-day email course for [TARGET AUDIENCE] to help them [ACHIEVE DESIRED OUTCOME].

The course topic is: [COURSE TOPIC]

For each of the 7 emails, please provide:

An attention-grabbing, curiosity-inducing subject line that makes people want to open faster than a kid on Christmas morning

A brief outline of the core content and lesson for that day, as well as a brief recap of what was covered the day before (obviously not applicable for Day 1)

3-5 key actionable strategies or techniques that subscribers can implement immediately

A cliffhanger or teaser to build anticipation for the next day's email

Email 1 should set the stage for and outline each day of the course, generate excitement, and deliver a quick win or valuable insight that makes subscribers feel
like geniuses.

Emails 2-4 should each focus on one crucial strategy, technique, or mindset shift related to the topic, complete with clear examples and step-by-step guidance even a monkey could follow.

Email 5 should tie everything together, summarize the key takeaways, and lay out a clear roadmap for implementation. 

Email 6 should share something exclusive, advanced, or not widely known related to the course topic to reinforce your authority and provide significant value. It should also include a soft pitch with urgency for my related paid offer: [PAID OFFER]

Email 7 should summarize the entire course, tie everything together, and introduce your paid offer as the next logical step to achieving their goals faster or with greater ease. It should also include a hard pitch with scarecity for my related paid offer: [PAID OFFER]

Each email should be written in a warm, conversational tone. 

Each email should be around 400-500 words.

Use storytelling, clear analogies, and relatable examples to make the content engaging and memorable.

The final CTA in each email should inspire readers to put the day's lesson into action and build anticipation for the next email in the series.

Never use exclamation points or emojis.

HOW TO USE THE 7-DAY EMAIL COURSE CREATOR PROMPT:

  1. Replace [TARGET AUDIENCE] with a specific description of your ideal subscriber, including their role, desires, and pain points.

    • Example: "Overworked solopreneurs struggling to leverage AI in their business."

  1. Identify the [DESIRED OUTCOME] your email course will help them achieve.

    • Example: "Save weekly hours by automating content creation and skyrocket sales with AI-powered marketing."

  1. Input your specific [COURSE TOPIC]. If you can’t decide on a course topic, you can always ask AI to recommend some email course subjects based on your niche and target audience.

    • Example: "5 prompts to create content 10x faster and better."

  1. Replace [PAID OFFER] with your relevant product or service.

    • Example: "The AI Audience Accelerator" — a course on leveraging AI to grow 10x faster than the competition.”

Based on the example inputs I used above, here’s the output Claude gave me:

Pretty impressive, right?

Now, you might be thinking:

"But I'm not exactly a wordsmith. Won't this take ages to put together?"

Fear not, my friend. The heavy lifting is already done for you.

Once you have your AI-generated course outline, all that remains is to:

  1. Flesh out the emails (which you can also delegate to your trusty AI sidekick)

  2. Infuse your unique expertise and flair

  3. Queue the course in your email service provider (I like Beehiiv or Endvr.ai (my CRM built on High Level) best).

Before you know it, you'll have a list-building, sales-boosting powerhouse that runs on autopilot.
