## Resource

Lucas and Luna dig into one of the most underused levers in newsletter business: the welcome sequence. Most writers send a single 'thanks for subscribing' email and move on. But data from Beehiiv and Substack shows that a three- to five-email welcome flow can boost paid conversion by 30 to 40 percent. Lucas walks through the specific structure of a high-converting welcome sequence, using examples from breakout newsletters like 'The Profile' and 'Morning Brew'. Luna pushes back on whether longer sequences risk annoying new subscribers, and they land on the key insight: welcome sequences aren't just an intro—they're the best chance a writer has to shape the reader's habit from day one. The episode opens with a concrete number from a 2025 Beehiiv benchmark report and closes with a practical takeaway for anyone running a newsletter today. #NewsletterMarketing #EmailMarketing #WelcomeSequence #Beehiiv #Substack #MorningBrew #TheProfile #EmailConversion #MarketingPodcast #NewsletterGrowth #EmailAutomation #SubscriberRetention #ContentMarketing #MarketingStrategy #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Marketing #NewsletterTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
