Build Email Sequences That Print Revenue on Autopilot — 50 Battle-Tested Prompts
Email marketing still generates $36 for every $1 spent — but only if your automations are sophisticated enough to send the right message to the right person at the right time. These 50 prompts build those automations: lifecycle sequences that convert, behavioral triggers that rescue revenue, and optimization frameworks that compound results month over month.
Every prompt is built from analyzing campaigns that generated $1M+ in attributable revenue. No generic "Hey {{first_name}}" templates — these are the revenue-driving systems email marketers at top DTC brands and SaaS companies actually use.
