You don’t need a 30-day nurture sequence.
You don’t need a 27-email funnel.
And you definitely don’t need to wait to “build trust.”
One email made $18,000 in 48 hours.
Let me show you how — and how you can do it too.
🧩 The Strategy
This email was part of a product launch. Not a massive list. No huge ad spend. Just a smart flow, killer copy, and one irresistible offer.
Here’s the breakdown:
💌 The Email Framework
1. The Subject Line
“Last chance: 48 hours to claim this.”
Urgency without sounding spammy.
Uses time sensitivity to push action.
Open rate: 51%.
2. The Hook (first 2 lines of the email)
“This is your reminder. In 48 hours, the offer disappears — and so do the bonuses.”
“We’re not running this again until next year.”
No fluff.
Immediately tells the reader what’s at stake.
Psychological pressure (loss aversion).
3. The Offer Stack
$497 course on sale for $297
Bonus 1: Private Zoom Q&A with founder
Bonus 2: Swipe file of high-performing ads
Bonus 3: Free 30-day trial to premium community
💡 Lesson: Add tangible, time-sensitive bonuses to increase perceived value — don’t just rely on a discount.
4. The CTA (Call to Action)
“Click here to unlock the full offer now. Don’t wait.”
One clear CTA.
Repeated 2x in the email (top + bottom).
5. The PS Line
“Still unsure? This same offer generated $42K last time. You’ll want in.”
Reinforces social proof.
Captures scanners who jump to the end.
