So you’ve got a newsletter and a lead magnet.

Now comes the real magic: automations.

Why? Because every new subscriber deserves a great first impression.

Instead of manually sending emails, you can set up simple automations like:

βœ… A welcome sequence (introduce yourself + what to expect)

βœ… A short email course (deliver value over 5–7 days)

βœ… A follow-up flow (help subscribers take the next step)

The best part?

You write them once β†’ they work for you 24/7.

That’s why I use Start Your Newsletter.Today as an example, it runs entirely on automation. Every new subscriber gets the whole course without me lifting a finger.

And here’s something many don’t realize πŸ‘‡

Platforms like Beehiiv and Kit give you these automation features.

Substack? Not really, it’s more like Medium or LinkedIn with an email button.

πŸ‘‰ I’ve detailed guidelines on how to set up automations in Beehiiv or Kit. Comment or DM me if you’d like me to share them.
