Why an email course?
No logins or passwords to remember
You may have never taken an email course. In fact, I had only taken one before building this. But here's the special thing about emails: They're always easily accessible without having to remember a login.
Here's an example of what these lessons will look like in your inbox. Incredibly easy to find and are organized like an actual online course.
