Day 1
Subject: [fistname], Thanks for signing up!

Dear [firstname],

Thanks for signing up to my short e-course on starting and running your own membership site.  Over the next week or so I'm going to be sending you a lot of information, so be sure to check your inbox every day and mark my messages as important.  You might also want to set aside some time every day to read the messages and act on the information.

Having your own membership site is probably one of the best types of site you can have.  Done properly, it can provide you with a healthy income, and can give you an asset to sell on later; in fact,  if you're the sort of person who likes starting a business more than running one, there's nothing to stop you from starting a membership site, building it up, selling it, taking the profit and knowledge you've acquired and rolling it over into a new membership site in a different niche.
Be warned though: starting and running a membership site isn't a walk in the park! It takes time, effort and commitment  especially in the early days when you don't have many members and aren't making much (or any) profit.

I'll talk more about all this over the coming days, but if you'd like to get a head-start, I've put together a fact-filled, quick start guide to building and running your own membership site.  You can read all about it here:  [link to sales page].

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

PS. Tomorrow I'll go into more details about why it makes sense to start your own membership site.
