Stop stalling at
half capacity.

Email Marketing

Kit (ConvertKit)

Build your retreat waitlist, welcome sequence, and lead magnet delivery before lunch

Kit is what I use, and the reason is simple: you can build a proper welcome sequence, a nurture funnel, and a lead magnet delivery flow in under an afternoon. The automations are visual and actually make sense. The free tier goes to 10k subscribers, which means you won't hit a wall until you've already got traction.
