Master the Email-Based Course
Give your business a demand gen tool that does the heavy lifting — educate, entertain, and convert on autopilot.
Through 20 engaging lessons, you’ll get the tools to craft and launch an email course that your prospects (and your margins) will love.
This is not your average email course.
Yours won’t be either.
Most email courses are gross.
😡 The structure is incoherent
😡 Content is poorly written
😡 No meaningful outcome
😡 They’re packed with upsells
👆 Don’t do this. It’s lazy, self-serving — people see right through it.
Great ones are transformative.
✅ You develop a relationship
✅ The content flows naturally
✅ Go at your desired pace
✅ The course inspires action
👆 This is how you win.
"Actionable takeaways within five minutes of digging into it. Huge value." — Dickie Bush, Ship30for30
If you’re thinking about creating a course (or already have one), then this one is for you. I’ve done his course myself and implemented the lessons both for Khe Hy over at RadReads and in the onboarding for this newsletter. Besides being really valuable, it’s also the funniest series of emails I’ve ever received. — Matthias Frank, Holistically Speaking
"I launched my email course a couple of weeks after taking Will’s course. 600+ subscribers now.” — Richard C.
I'm extremely proud of the final product, as is Will. I had the same reaction to [my] email course as Vincent Vega did to this $5 milkshake: https://youtu.be/lZzai6at_xA — Andrew Barry
"I just wanted to say that the course is its own best advertisement. It’s like Apple packaging - you’re already looking forward to what’s inside because it’s so smooth and sturdy and everything just fits really well…” — Jill M.
You have done a fabulous job of putting together your program and taking me from someone who had literally next to no idea what you were banging on about to being really excited about the idea of creating an EBC as a top option for my own teaching work. Really impressive work. — Sir Steven Wilkinson
I'm having a great experience with @BigWillieStein's course on making an EBC. Key feature for email is the option for the creator to respond and interact. When you're simultaneously producing a product, this is invaluable. — Chris W.
