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.

Email courses are the most efficient form of demand gen.
“Wait, sorry, what’s an email course?”
In the simplest terms…
- It’s an automated sequence of emails
- That delivers an impactful learning experience
- In a digestible format (~500-800 words per day)
- Over a meaningful period of time (7+ days)
1. Start fast.
Avoid the hassle of paying for another app, learning a new tool, or dealing with an algorithm.
2. Automate.
Unlike a newsletter, cohort-based course, or webinar, an email course runs on its own.
3. Iterate.
Want to make a change? Add a section? Move things around? Update your content on the fly.
1 course. 20 emails. Cool stuff galore.
Here’s a small sample of the content that has helped hundreds of customers.
- A simple, unexpected way to guarantee that all emails land in the primary inbox.
- Key questions to address so you can architect a course that tells a compelling story.
- A dozen principles of learning experience design that create the sensation of learning.
- The quickest, easiest way to write emails that people want to read (and keep reading).
- People want to feel progression — give it to them with simple but powerful design and visuals.
- Why it’s worth going the extra mile to build in moments of surprise and delight.

- If you want to accelerate development, go faster with over 50 minutes of walkthrough videos.
- Offer something email courses rarely do: self-pacing (using an ingenious email automation hack).
- And more… (like my weird sense of humor sprinkled throughout).
Give your prospects a low-risk, high-impact experience.
A well-designed email course puts your expertise into the perfect, scalable package.
