The Lead Generation Format Your Competitors Are Not Using

The old lead magnet playbook is broken. PDF checklists and ebooks capture email addresses but rarely build enough trust to drive a sale. Email courses change the equation entirely. Instead of delivering a one-time asset that gets forgotten, an email course delivers value over 5-10 days through structured lessons that teach, build authority, and create a genuine relationship with each subscriber. ConvertKit data shows this format converts 5-10x better than standard lead magnets. The online education market is projected to reach $325 billion (Thinkific, 2021), and email courses are the lightest-weight way to capture a share of that demand. No LMS platform required. No video production. Just well-designed email sequences that transform your expertise into automated education that generates leads around the clock. Our email course services cover every piece of this system: from course architecture and instructional content writing to technical automation setup and student engagement analytics. We build complete, automated email course funnels that work while you sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

What email course services do you offer?

We offer eight specialized services that cover the complete email course lifecycle: course design, drip sequence creation, lead magnet creation, course landing pages, enrollment automation, student engagement tracking, course content writing, and certification setup. These can be combined into a turnkey email course package or engaged individually to enhance your existing program.

How does an email course work as a lead magnet?

Instead of offering a static PDF, you offer a free multi-day email course on a topic your audience cares about. Subscribers opt in, receive daily lessons via email, and by the end of the course they have experienced your expertise firsthand. ConvertKit data shows this format converts 5-10x better than standard lead magnets because it builds trust through repeated value delivery. The final lesson naturally transitions to your paid offering.

How long does it take to build an email course?

A complete email course -- including strategy, content writing, automation setup, landing page, and engagement tracking -- typically takes 3-5 weeks to build and launch. Simpler courses with 5 lessons can be ready in 2-3 weeks. More complex courses with 10 or more lessons, quizzes, and certification may take 4-6 weeks. Once built, the course runs automatically and generates leads indefinitely.

What platforms do you build email courses on?

We build email courses on all major email platforms including ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Drip, HubSpot, and Klaviyo. We can also integrate with course platforms like Teachable and Thinkific if you want to combine email delivery with a hosted course experience. We recommend the platform based on your existing tech stack and specific course requirements.
