How We Turned a Dead Email List into a Revenue Engine and Helped More Traders Stick Around

The Problem

The Problem

AuraFunded had a common issue: they were bringing in new leads, but most of them didn’t turn into paying traders. And the ones who did pass the challenge often disappeared after getting funded.

They had an email list of over 30,000 people, but almost none of those leads were being followed up with. Their Klaviyo account was barely used. There were no automated emails to guide people through the process. No reminder emails. No onboarding messages for new traders.

Worse, many traders were writing to support with the same questions:

  • “What happens after I pass?”

  • “When do I get my payout?”

  • “How do I scale my account?”

Their inbox was full. Their ads were expensive. And the email list they had built over months wasn’t doing anything to help.

They didn’t need to spend more money. They needed to make their existing leads actually convert and keep those who did around longer.

What We Did

What We Did

1. Cleaned up their email list
We removed 8,000 contacts who hadn’t opened an email in over 6 months. That helped improve deliverability and made future campaigns more effective.

2. Built a proper welcome series
We wrote 5 simple emails that introduced the firm, explained how their funding model worked, and addressed common trader concerns. These went out automatically when someone joined the list.

3. Created a post-funding email journey
We wrote and set up 6 emails that were only sent to traders who passed the challenge. These covered things like:

  • What happens next

  • How to request payouts

  • When scaling kicks in

  • A direct link to review the firm on Trustpilot

  • How to get support quickly

4. Wrote weekly content emails
We sent one email every week with simple trader tips, funding news, or behind-the-scenes updates from the company. These weren’t just sales emails—they gave value.

5. Reactivated cold leads
We sent a plain-text “Still Trading?” email to older leads. It asked one simple question and linked to the challenge page. 18% of those people clicked.

Prop Rating

Email marketing now brings in 27% of monthly revenue. Before, it was under 6%.

  • Refund requests dropped by 41%, because traders finally understood what to expect.

  • Trustpilot score increased from 3.8 to 4.6, mostly due to automated review requests after payouts.

  • Revenue per subscriber tripled.

Instead of letting good leads go to waste, AuraFunded now has a simple system that warms people up, answers their questions, and helps them succeed once they’re funded.

No extra ad spend. Just better communication.
