Strategy. Two ICPs: YouTube creators (BUILD = no course yet; UPSELL = improve existing) and GitHub-sourced engineers with monetization signals. US-only for automated sends; UK/CA go to the manual lane. Volume ramps only on reply quality. Sourcing target once Agent 9 lands: 100 qualified/day capacity, throttle gated on proof.

Standing campaigns (no more versioning): corporate_engineers and creator_engineers. Current corporate copy is the v9 curriculum lead-magnet (148 drafts staged in ce.db, send held). Ground truth 2026-06-25: ~376 sent all-time, 4 real replies, 1 genuine positive (Tyler); deliverability verified good (mail-tester 10/10, SPF/DKIM/DMARC pass). Messaging: engineers sequence · youtube day-0

Strategy. The proof engine. Review a creator's FREE public asset as a working ID, send 3 specific strengths + 1 drop-off risk, offer the full audit on reply. Free-asset scope, 30-45 min cap each; the deep variant (buy course, rebuild module 1) reserved for top targets. Each teardown doubles as content and a case-study seed, and feeds the $1k Pre-Sell Sprint on resulting calls.

Drafts: message library. Lange + Reilly route via LinkedIn DM (Germany / no email). Watch: Adam Kae dropped for unverifiable data; never tear down on shaky evidence.

Strategy. Strong-fit leads the automated sender must not touch: UK (PECR) and Canada (CASL) compliance, plus personal catch-all domains Reoon cannot confirm. Hand-written one-offs from a real identity, date-logged.

UK: Liz Rice, Alex Ellis. CA: Andriy Burkov, Ali Hejazizo, Satoshi Tanda, Ajin Abraham. Catch-all: Kent C. Dodds, Steve Klabnik (or DM lane). Adapt the engineer day-0 bodies from the library.

Strategy (agreed in the Core Four plan). Follow-up lane, not a cold-volume engine. Q1 2026 was an enforcement wave (HeyReach banned in March; ~40% of cloud-tool accounts restricted), and this profile is also the warm-25 and referral channel, which makes it unreplaceable. So: zero automation tools on the profile, hand-written notes only, ~5/day ceiling, prioritize prospects who already replied or have no findable email.

Suggested templates (draft, not yet through full curation): message library.

Strategy (from the four-model debate; DeepSeek's addition). Search X for people already saying it: "thinking about making a course", "my course flopped", "most courses are boring", "should I build a course". Hand-written replies/DMs only. Warmest possible cold channel because they raised the topic themselves. Also the routing for Dodds and Klabnik.

Suggested message shape: message library. Agent 7 (pain-signal discovery, daily 08:00, active) already surfaces some of these signals from LinkedIn/Reddit/IndieHackers; extend it to X queries as a later tweak.

Current standing copy is the v9 curriculum lead-magnet (overhauled 2026-06-27: free course-curriculum CTA, ~3rd-grade reading level, "second income" outcome, lead-course-designer / Fortune 500 authority). Its 148 per-lead drafts live in ce.db (send held); they are not pasted here to avoid drift from the database of record. The v6 sequence below is the prior creator-facing copy, kept for reference.

Day 0 · subject is per-person (sample: "a course for your pandas viewers?") · greeting/signature templated copy

Hi {first_name},

{one specific evidence-based observation, e.g.: Your Pandas tutorial repos have over a thousand stars each. That usually means the audience wants more than free videos.}

I help experts pre-sell a course before building it. Your audience pays up front. If not enough people buy, nothing gets built and you lose nothing. Do you have a course in mind that you are too busy to build?

Day 3 · same thread, no subject copy

Hi {first_name},

Following up in case this slipped by. The idea still stands. I pre-sell a course to your audience before we build it, so you only make what people already paid for.

Worth a quick look? Even a no helps me plan.

Day 7 · same thread, referral close copy

Hi {first_name},

Last note from me on this. If the timing is off, no problem at all.

If you would rather point me to another creator, I pay 10% on any deal that closes from someone you send my way.

Decided 6/14: postal address in the footer is skipped for now per Maaz (US spam-law physical-address requirement flagged by both reviewers; accepted risk, revisit before scaling volume).

Day 0 shape (the one that got the Tyler reply) copy

Hi {first_name},

{personal congrats on a real event, e.g. the CBS Sunday Morning feature}. I help you pre-sell a course before we build it. You only make what people already paid for. Do you have one in mind that you're too busy to build? If not, I also pay 10% on any deal that closes from someone you send my way. Just say no if you aren't interested.

Best,
Sarah Smith

Tyler explainer (SENT 6/10, on hold since) copy

Hi Tyler,

Happy to walk you through it. Here's how it works:

1. We pick the course. We look at your ideas together, plus what your viewers keep asking for. We pick the one people will pay for.

2. We sell it before we build it. A simple page goes out to your audience. People pay up front. No real orders, no course.

3. If enough people buy, we build it. Curriculum, production, platform, launch. You do interviews and review drafts. A few hours a month. If not enough people buy, they get refunds and you lose nothing.

Format is up to you. Self-paced, live sessions, or both. Your part can be as small as you want. You can record everything yourself. Or just give us the content, and we can clone your voice and even create an AI version of you. You approve everything before it goes out.

What courses do you have in mind? Easiest is a quick call. What day and time work best for you?

Best,
Sarah Smith

Subject: your 5-day ISO 42001 course

Hi Walter,

I took apart your free 5-day ISO 42001 email course as a working instructional designer. The day sequence is a real curriculum arc: why, comparison, scope, assess, controls. A lot of free email courses stop at framing; yours teaches. The Maven workshop structure is also strong, three sessions plus a project plus a 1:1.

One gap: every day teaches about ISO 42001, but no day has the reader produce anything. One small artifact per day (day 3: a one-line AIMS scope statement) turns readers into people who have already started implementing, and that makes the 90-day program feel like the natural next step.

2 · Chris Reilly · LinkedIn DM only (no email found) copy

Hi Chris. Instructional designer here; I studied your Mastery Program funnel this week. Your pricing setup is genuinely sharp ($1,244 a la carte against $449 bundled) and the Wharton and Wall Street Prep features add real credibility. Two things you may not see from inside: the About and FAQ pages on the course site 404, and your newsletter site and course site never cross-link, so your newsletter audience has no visible bridge to the $449 offer.

Subject: your funnel after the book

Hi Jamie,

I mapped your funnel this week as a working instructional designer. The ladder is genuinely well built: free diagnostics into the book into templates into the Financial Fitness Formula. Hidden Profit as the under-30-dollar anchor is smart, and your blog is current in a niche where most are not.

One structural gap: the Formula opens once a year, so for eleven months your warmest readers have nowhere to go above a $49 template. The old Kajabi store pages are also still live and indexed ("Our Shop Has Moved"), which may split clicks or confuse buyers.

4 · Aron Lange (GRC Lab) · LinkedIn DM ONLY (Germany; UWG/GDPR) copy

Hi Aron,

I went through GRC Lab this week as a working instructional designer. Three things stood out, in a good way. The Lead Implementer curriculum follows a real project arc, twelve steps from management support to audit. The free fundamentals guide actually teaches instead of teasing. And the templates plus the 14-day guarantee make the offer easy to say yes to.

One thing may be costing you money right now: when I tried the course platform, learn.grclab.com showed "This school is offline," which would block anyone checking out that way. The homepage also says EUR 997 while the fundamentals page says EUR 347, which makes the price feel unclear.

LinkedIn connection note (no-email prospects, 300-char limit) copy

Hi {first_name}, I am an instructional designer who helps experts pre-sell a course before building it. Saw {specific artifact}. No pitch in this note; happy to share a free read on what a course could look like for your audience if useful.

X intent reply/DM (to someone voicing the problem publicly) copy

Saw your post about {their words, e.g. whether a course is worth building}. I design courses for a living. The short answer: do not build it until your audience pays for it. Happy to send the 7-step pre-sell checklist I use, free, if you want it.
