Long-Term E-Mail Sequence?

[DK-OMS]

Hey Folks,

I´m about to start my list-building.
My lead-magnet is already set up.
After requesting the lead-magnet, people will get 5 automated emails (with a delay of 2 days), which is fine for me.

But what should come next? Would it make sense of creating another automated email-sequence in terms of long-term conversation which starts right after the first one ends? Or would you rather send individual emails to your list from time to time? I´m struggling with the idea of creating over 30 emails for an automated tong-term sequence

This is something which prevents me from driving traffic to my lead-magnet. I´m afraid people could get cold after the first 5 emails.

Thanks for your inspirations.
Daniel

I would

1. loop my email test-list
2. then
   

   #! /bin/bash
   
   ##mail.sh
   cat file.csv  | while read line
   do
   days=$(( ( RANDOM % 7 )  + 1 ))
   addtime=$(( ( RANDOM % 59 )  + 1 ))
   echo '$days + $addtime /minutes added time'
   
   seq=$(bc <<<"(($days*24)*60)+($addtime)")
   echo $seq sequence send time /min
   mail=$(date -d   "$seq min" +'%Y:%m:%d %T')
   
   echo $line,$mail
   
   #do mail routine storage here MySQL  
   #Or, use epoch time in the real world<<<<
   done

   add the date to mail.
   now it is random like a human
   

3. :~$ ./mail.sh
   2 + 36 /minutes added time

Of course you could look for a tool to pay for every month
*the secondswill always equal the start time of the script loop (Milliseconds might change inside the loop.)
epoch time:
:~$ date +%s
1552846376
:~$ date --date='@1552846376'

An email sequence is a series of emails automatically sent to specific segments of people on your email list. An email sequence can be trigger-based or time-based. When an email sequence is trigger-based, emails are sent based on actions such as: Browsing behavior.
When an email sequence is trigger-based, emails are sent based on actions such as:

• Browsing behavior
• Subscribing to your list
• Shopping cart abandonment
• Reading or downloading content
• Buying a product

A time-based email sequence (sometimes called an email autoresponder) sends emails at predetermined time intervals, like…

• Right after opt-in
• 30 days after purchase
• On the anniversary of subscribing

The 5 most important types of email sequences are…

1. Welcome email sequence
2. On-boarding email sequence
3. Abandon cart email sequence
4. Repeat customer email sequence
5. Re-engagement email sequence
