Discover a dead-simple email you can send 5 hours after someone joins your list, and watch your open rates skyrocket.
Show Me the Five-Hour Followup EmailAt Codemy.com, I run a simple Facebook ad giving away a free Intro to Python Programming book. People opt in. I email them the PDF. End of story... right?
Before long, emails started rolling in that said: "Hey John, I never got the book."
So I did the obvious thing. I added a single follow-up email to my automation - sent exactly five hours after someone requested the book.
Nothing fancy. Nothing salesy. Just a quick "Hey, did you get it?" message with a second download link and a twist.
I expected nothing, but what happened next stopped me cold. That email started pulling 60–70% open rates.
Not once.
Not for a week.
Not during some lucky spike.
Consistently.
I assumed it was a fluke. That the averages would normalize. That it would settle back to "regular" email open rates.
It didn't.
I've now sent hundreds of thousands of those emails over the last two years...
...and that five-hour follow-up still opens at 60–70%.
That's insane.
At that point, I knew this wasn't just about one email.
It was about timing, psychology, and relationship-building in the first few hours after someone raises their hand.
So I turned it into a course.
✅ The exact email I send (word-for-word)
✅ A plug-and-play template you can adapt to any niche or product
✅ A walkthrough video where I explain:
✅Why this email works when almost everything else gets ignored
✅ What's really happening in the subscriber's head at the 5-hour mark
✅ How to customize this for newsletters, lead magnets, products, services - anything
This isn't theory. It's not "best practices." It's something I use every day to train inbox providers, warm subscribers, and boost deliverability long-term.
One good follow-up email can pay for this many times over.
My guarantee is simple:
If anything I sell you doesn't immediately improve your bottom line by more than what you paid me, email me within 30 days and I'll refund you.
👉 No hoops.
👉 No arguments.
👉 No nonsense.
If you care about open rates, inbox placement, and actually starting relationships with subscribers instead of blasting them...
This is worth your attention.
