When to use it
Pre-launch, launch, evergreen, and re-launch sequences.
When NOT to use it
Avoid free-content sprawl — keep premium content gated.
How to use it
- Authority content — show your method works in public.
- Educational marketing — teach a piece of the curriculum free.
- Student success stories — before / during / after format.
- Webinars — live or evergreen, pitch at the end.
- Launch sequences — 5-10 day email + content burst.
- Certification promotion — show the resume/portfolio outcome.
Examples
Sequence
