What’s inside
From first click to habit
Six chapters, from the first session to the operator calendar.
The first session
An activation checklist you can run this week: remove signup friction, one start-here space, one tiny first action.
The first-week emails
Four short sends written out in full, subjects and bodies. The fourth only fires if the member hasn’t acted.
Prompts and programs
Six intro-thread prompts that get replies, a welcome-space outline and a buddy program.
Check-ins at 30, 60 and 90
The exact questions to ask at each checkpoint, and what to change based on the answers.
Measure it like a funnel
Define your activation list, pick defensible thresholds and run the weekly scorecard: joined, activated, returned, habituated.
The operator calendar
What your team does day by day for the first month, sized for one owner spending about an hour a day.

Are the guides free?
Yes. Fill in one short form and the download opens on this page, with a copy sent to your inbox.
Will this put me in a sales sequence?
No demo sequence fires off this form. There’s a checkbox if you want new guides emailed to you, and leaving it unticked still gets you the download.
Who wrote them?
Our GTM team, from running Bettermode’s own community: the public Wishlist board, the events space and the answer surface at bettermode.com/hub. The examples are things we’ve done or measured.
