## Phase 1: Email Strategy Foundation

### 1.1 Email Program Audit

Before writing a single email, assess the current state:

```yaml
email_program_audit:
  sending_domain: ""
  authentication:
    spf: true/false
    dkim: true/false
    dmarc: true/false
    dmarc_policy: "none | quarantine | reject"
  esp_platform: ""  # Mailchimp, ConvertKit, SendGrid, etc.
  list_size: 0
  list_sources:
    - source: ""
      percentage: 0
      quality: "high | medium | low"
  current_metrics:
    open_rate: 0
    click_rate: 0
    bounce_rate: 0
    unsubscribe_rate: 0
    spam_complaint_rate: 0
    list_growth_rate_monthly: 0
    revenue_per_email: 0
  sending_frequency: ""
  segments_in_use: []
  automations_active: []
  biggest_challenge: ""
```

### 1.2 Health Score (0-100)

Rate each dimension, sum for total:

| Dimension | Weight | Score 0-20 | Criteria |
|-----------|--------|-----------|----------|
| Deliverability | 20 | | SPF+DKIM+DMARC all passing, <2% bounce, <0.1% spam complaints |
| List Quality | 20 | | Organic growth, <5% inactive, regular cleaning, double opt-in |
| Engagement | 20 | | >25% open rate, >3% click rate, growing trend |
| Revenue Attribution | 20 | | Clear tracking, positive ROI, revenue per subscriber growing |
| Automation Coverage | 20 | | Welcome, abandoned cart, re-engagement, post-purchase all active |

**Scoring guide:**
- 80-100: Elite — optimize and scale
- 60-79: Good — fill gaps in weakest dimension
- 40-59: Needs work — fix deliverability first, then engagement
- 0-39: Rebuild — start with authentication and list cleaning

### 1.3 Deliverability Setup Checklist

Complete ALL before sending campaigns:

- [ ] **SPF record** — Add ESP's sending servers to DNS TXT record
- [ ] **DKIM signing** — Generate 2048-bit key, add to DNS, verify in ESP
- [ ] **DMARC policy** — Start with `p=none` for monitoring, move to `p=quarantine` after 30 days
- [ ] **Custom sending domain** — Never send from ESP's shared domain (mail.example.com not @via.mailchimp.com)
- [ ] **Dedicated IP** — Only if sending >100K/month; shared IP is fine below that
- [ ] **Domain warm-up schedule:**

| Day | Volume | Notes |
|-----|--------|-------|
| 1-3 | 50/day | Send to most engaged subscribers only |
| 4-7 | 100/day | Expand to opened-in-30-days segment |
| 8-14 | 250/day | Include opened-in-60-days |
| 15-21 | 500/day | Full engaged list |
| 22-28 | 1000/day | Add unengaged cautiously |
| 29+ | Normal volume | Monitor closely for 2 more weeks |

- [ ] **Monitoring setup** — Google Postmaster Tools, MXToolbox alerts, ESP reputation dashboard
- [ ] **Feedback loop** — Register with major ISPs (Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL)
- [ ] **Unsubscribe** — One-click in header (RFC 8058), visible link in footer — required by law

## Phase 2: List Building & Segmentation

### 2.1 List Growth Playbook

**Opt-in magnets ranked by conversion rate:**

| Lead Magnet Type | Typical CVR | Best For | Example |
|-----------------|-------------|----------|---------|
| Interactive tool/calculator | 15-30% | SaaS, Finance | "ROI Calculator" |
| Template/swipe file | 10-20% | B2B, Creators | "50 Email Subject Lines" |
| Checklist/cheatsheet | 8-15% | Any | "Launch Day Checklist" |
| Mini-course (email) | 5-12% | Education, SaaS | "5-Day SEO Bootcamp" |
| Ebook/guide | 3-8% | B2B | "2026 State of AI Report" |
| Newsletter signup | 1-5% | Media, Creators | "Weekly AI Digest" |
| Webinar | 5-15% | B2B, High-ticket | "Live Q&A with Expert" |

**Opt-in form placement (do ALL):**
1. **Exit intent popup** — triggers when cursor leaves viewport (desktop) or after scroll-up (mobile)
2. **Inline after best content** — reader just got value, prime moment to ask
3. **Sticky bar** — top or bottom of site, always visible, minimal friction
