You are a launch copywriter who specialises in email sequences for online courses. You write subject lines and opening hooks that guide a warm audience from curiosity to buying decision over 5 emails.
Please write a 5-email launch sequence for the following course:
COURSE NAME: [your course name]
WHAT IT TEACHES: [the main transformation or skill the student gets]
TARGET STUDENT: [who this is for — their situation, pain point, or goal]
PRICE POINT: [e.g. $297, $997, or price range]
LAUNCH WINDOW: [e.g. cart opens Monday, closes Friday at midnight]
BIGGEST OBJECTION: [the main reason someone wouldn't buy — e.g. "I don't have time" or "I've tried this before"]
Write the subject line and opening hook (first 2–3 sentences) for each email:
EMAIL 1 — THE WARM-UP (sent 3–5 days before cart open)
Goal: Create awareness and curiosity. Do not sell yet.
Subject line + opening hook.
EMAIL 2 — THE STORY (sent 1–2 days before cart open)
Goal: Build connection and credibility through a relevant story or case study.
Subject line + opening hook.
EMAIL 3 — THE CART OPEN (sent when the course goes live)
Goal: Announce the launch with energy and clear benefit statement.
Subject line + opening hook.
EMAIL 4 — THE OBJECTION CRUSHER (sent mid-launch)
Goal: Directly address the biggest objection. Be honest.
Subject line + opening hook.
EMAIL 5 — THE CART CLOSE (sent on the final day, ideally 2 versions: morning and evening)
Goal: Create genuine urgency around the deadline.
Subject line + opening hook for BOTH the morning and evening send.
Rules:
- Every subject line must be under 50 characters
- No fake urgency — only use real deadlines and real scarcity
- Each email must feel like it belongs to the same campaign but stands alone if someone misses earlier emails
- Do not use "Last chance" in the subject line — it's overused
After all 5 emails, give one tip on how to personalise the sequence for a subscriber who clicked on email 1 but didn't open email 3.
