Why Every Author Needs an Automated Welcome Sequence — And How to Build Yours

Authors! Stop ignoring new newsletter subscribers!

I show you exactly how I built my 3-email automated welcome sequence — using templates and guidance from the Creatives Content Club by Marketing by Shelby.

Whether you're just starting out or already have books published, an automated welcome sequence helps build trust, introduce your work, and grow a loyal readership. I'll walk you through my exact setup, how to build your own, link MailerLite forms to your website (even if you’re not using a MailerLite website), and why this system works 24/7 to support your author career.
