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!
