Shoutout to @roydan as his journey motivated me to pick this up again.

Short intro:

I did manual cold emailing some 5 years ago with mediocre results.

Very simple setup: I had my Gmail in my phone and used mobile data and handpicked the businesses to email - A mundane and painstaking process, but it always worked.

The good thing: These companies that I managed to convert have been ordering from me and reaching out for the past 5 years... not many of them but there were clients who paid me $500-$1000 every 1-2 months and that adds up if you have just 10 companies in the line.

Current plan:

I will do everything using my Antidetect software + mobile proxies + Gmails.

I buy aged Gmails around $12 a pop - bad experiences with this seller before, but this is the best thing I got right now next to warming up the accounts myself, which I really don't want to bother with. The 2 test accounts I got for $25 seemed to work, fingers crossed they are all as good.

20 aged Gmails (around $250) so have to take a risk here.

Not going to push out more than 10 emails per day per Gmail account.

I am going to hire a Virtual Assistant for lead scouting, helps to save me a ton of time.

To minimize risks, I will still do some soft warmups to the accounts I get... Spamming via Gmail is getting really hard lately as I noticed that my main email account was blacklisted for backlink outreach requests a while ago and I didn't even send that many emails so hopefully 10 a day they let slip.

Recurring revenue milestones:

$2500
$5000
$10000

Anything over that is crazy as I am physically incapable of serving more customers than that, and that extra $10K goes a long way right now.

Should the seller deliver me a bad batch, the journey will be paused until I work on my own accounts.

I'll try to update this once a week... still a lot of work to do; Antidetect and profiles need to be set up and configured, and a VA needs to be hired too.

Will keep you updated.

Cheers!
 
Best wishes for your email marketing journey @INCC

I'm gonna take some of your setup into mine.
Best of luck!
 
I'm such a noob, I just emailed from my real email to people I got off Apollo.
A couple of years ago, Ninja Outreach and Apollo were used by everyone so I've always thought those leads are so used already.

Clutch might be a better place to find businesses, especially if you need them from Israel and want to approach them in Hebrew. Not sure if this is your strategy but those companies are easier to approach in their native languages, and they are also likely less spammed.

Nah I'm not that interested in the Israeli market. Mostly focused on US, UK, AU, and CA.
Gonna need to do the leg work, I guess, and start over.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

It's all good.
 
It sounds like you already have some good experience. I will follow this for sure. Good luck!
