I just dropped a complete breakdown showing you exactly how to build one.

Most brands treat their welcome series like an afterthought a quick "thanks for signing up" with a discount code.
But the brands doing $1M+/month? They've turned their welcome flow into a revenue-generating machine.
The Welcome Flow Reality Check
Here's what's possible with a dialed-in welcome series:
Small brands (500-1K subscribers/month): $5-15K additional revenue
Mid-size brands (2-5K signups): $15-50K additional revenue
Larger brands (10K+ subscribers): $50-250K+ additional revenue
Most brands are getting maybe 10% of this potential.
Why?
They're using the same 3-email template everyone else uses:
Email 1: "Here's your discount"
Email 2: "Don't forget your discount"
Email 3: "Last chance for your discount"
That's not a welcome series. That's just hoping people buy immediately.
What Actually Converts (The 3-Card System)
In the video, I break down the exact framework that's generated millions for our clients:
Card 1: The Incentive (Emails 1-2)
Convert the warm traffic immediately. Be direct, reduce friction, get the conversion.
Card 2: The Education (Emails 3-5)
This is where most brands fail. You're building trust, overcoming objections, sharing your story. The people who didn't buy from emails 1-2 need to understand WHY they should buy from you.
Card 3: The Conversion (Emails 6-8)
Final push with urgency, social proof, and scarcity. Last chance to convert before they go cold.
The Brand Archetype Secret
Here's what most agencies get wrong: They use the same welcome series for every client.
A $2,000 furniture brand needs completely different psychology than a $30 supplement company.
In the video, I show you how to build your welcome series based on your brand archetype:
High AOV/Low Frequency:
7-10 email series
Education-heavy content
Trust signals and social proof
Longer consideration periods
Low AOV/High Frequency:
5-7 email series
Direct response style
Aggressive offers and urgency
Fast conversion focus
Mid AOV/Mid Frequency:
5-8 email series
Balanced approach
Product education + offers
Strategic timing
The 5 Design Principles That Make or Break Your Series
I also reveal the design principles that can double your conversion rates:
CTA Above the Fold (most people don't scroll)
Mobile-First Design (everything happens on mobile)
White Space is Your Friend (don't overclutter)
Visual Hierarchy (guide the reader's eye)
Fast Load Times (slow emails kill conversions)
The $100K+ Opportunity Sitting in Your Account
Here's the math that should get your attention:
Brand A (Generic 3-email series):
3% conversion rate
$80 AOV
2,000 monthly signups
Revenue: $4,800/month
Brand B (Strategic 8-email series):
10% conversion rate
$120 AOV (better offers/bundles)
2,000 monthly signups
Revenue: $24,000/month
Same traffic. Same ad spend. 5x the revenue.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Customer acquisition costs are rising. iOS updates killed attribution. Competition is fierce.
The brands that win aren't spending more on ads. They're making every visitor worth more.
Your welcome series is the highest-converting flow in your entire email system. If you're not optimizing it, you're leaving massive money on the table.
Your Next Steps
Watch the video (seriously, it's worth 25 minutes of your time)
Audit your current welcome series (is it 3 generic emails?)
Identify your brand archetype (high/mid/low AOV and frequency)
Implement the 3-card system (incentive → education → conversion)
Test and optimize (this is a continuous process)

The Bottom Line
While your competitors are fighting over ad costs, you can be making every subscriber worth 3-5x more.
That's how you build a sustainable competitive advantage.
