8‑Email Sequence That Converts Freebie Leads (Copy & Paste)
You’ve probably done this already:
→ Spent hours creating a killer freebie / lead magnet
→ Shared it on LinkedIn (got pretty good traction!)
→ Watched 100+ people download it…
...and then nothing.
No conversions. No sales.
No one asking what else you can help them with.
Just a growing email list that goes cold after Email #1.
That used to be me, too.
I launched high-effort resources — guides, templates, swipe files — and they took off. But when I checked back weeks later, only 1–2 people had actually bought my products and services.
Not because the freebie was bad.
But because my emails were.
What changed?
I rebuilt my follow-up emails from scratch.
→ Focused on trust, not just pitching
→ Used storytelling, social proof, reciprocity
→ Delayed the “offer” until readers were ready
And when I tested this new 8-email flow?
📈 Conversions went up by 40%
📬 Replies tripled
💬 “I feel like you get me” messages started coming in from ideal clients
Now I’ve bundled that sequence into a plug-and-play Notion template — so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.
