Update 2026-11-07: Jeff is on Kit Creator Pro (annual, 5,000-subscriber limit, renews 2027-11-07; read from the Kit account). The free-plan limits of one sequence and one automation in the notes below are historical and no longer apply. The Kit connector is connected: the live sequence and its statistics are in Kit Sequences — Snapshot (retrieved 2026-11-07). The connector cannot read automation definitions, so the automation section below remains the Nov 4 screenshot record.

Source: Jeff's three screenshots of Kit's Sequences area, 2026-11-04 (the sequence card, its email list, and the first email opened). Figures are a dated snapshot read from screenshots. Nothing here was read from Kit directly. The older database ‣ is history and does not list this sequence.

Welcome Email Sequence (live, all five emails Published)

• Shape: a 7-day sequence with 5 emails.
• Snapshot 2026-11-04: Corrected 2026-11-04 from the Analytics page: Active subscribers 3,878; Completed 159; Unsubscribed 372; Didn't complete 503; overall open rate 89.13%; overall click rate 26.20%. The sequence card shown earlier said 3,878 subscribers, 56.01% open, 7.34% click and "Unsubscribers 503"; that 503 matches "Didn't complete," so it is not the number who unsubscribed. An earlier note here said about 13% unsubscribed; that was a misreading and is withdrawn. Open rates are often inflated by email-app privacy features, so clicks and replies are the more reliable signals.
• Who gets it: the first email says "You recently requested a TeacherCast resource," so it appears to start after someone requests a resource. Which forms feed it is not yet captured.

Each email is sent every day of the week after its wait.

Email 1 opened (what it does)

• Uses the blue header band: "BY JEFF BRADBURY, YOUR DIGITAL LEARNING COACH", "The Impact Note: Welcome to TeacherCast", and the tagline "Simplified Systems. Strategic Insights. Greater Impact!"
• Heading "What would save you the most time right now?" Asks one question: what is taking too much time in your classroom, school or coaching work (planning lessons, communicating with families, managing Google Classroom, creating videos or presentations, supporting teachers, figuring out how AI fits). Asks the reader to hit Reply with one sentence, with a teal button "Tell Me What's Taking Up Too Much Time In Your EDU Day".
• States that Jeff reads every response and uses the answers to decide which tutorials, podcast conversations and resources to create next.
• "What happens next?": a quick workflow, the philosophy behind TeacherCast's systems-based approach, a guide to resources that match the reader's role, then one Impact System every Sunday plus occasional weekday updates.
• Signs off "Jeff Bradbury, Your Digital Learning Coach" with a P.S. asking again for a reply. Footer: address, Unsubscribe, Preferences, "Built with Kit".

What this means

• Jeff already asks his audience what they need. This email goes to everyone who enters the sequence (3,878 so far), and the replies are in Jeff's inbox. That is existing audience research for the products work.
• The sequence matches the newsletter plan: it promises the Sunday Impact Systems issue and occasional mid-week updates.
• The copy uses "practical" several times and the brand line "Your Digital Learning Coach"; both are Jeff's live wording. Note for the later wording review only.

Still to capture

Which forms or resources start this sequence; the one automation (Jeff to send a screenshot); the open and click rates and unsubscribers per email (to see where people leave). On 2026-11-04 Jeff said he was on Kit's free plan with only one sequence and one automation. He upgraded to Creator Pro on 2026-11-07, and Kit returned this one sequence on 2026-11-07.
