I used to be in the spam game and then moved to "email marketing". It's really just a numbers game and timing. If you spam out 50k bullshit cold emails, you will always get a few bites regardless of how shitty your messaging is.
Add in the drip email technique you mention above and you will attract way more bites.
They may ignore 99% of your emails but all it takes is that one time when your dripped email is right at the top of their inbox when they wake up in the morning and are checking emails or stuck in traffic and looking at their emails on their phone and etc.
tl;dr = its a numbers game. spew shit out, get a few hits.
- ta988 2y agoThat's exactly why those go immediately in spam. You don't waste my attention with automation there is enough of that already.
- AznHisoka 2y agoI have the opposite view. The numbers game might have worked 10-15 years ago but it is a horrible strategy that will send your email deliverability rate to near zero. Rather than spray and pray, I prefer to only contact companies that have shown they have the problem my product is trying to solve at the time they have that problem (or actively looking for solutions). I send a handful of cold DMs/emails a day and aim for at least a 20% response rate.
- edm0nd 2y agototally agree. This was around 2010 when I stopped doing anything like this as I was just smtp spamming off botnets. I didnt care about about inboxing 100% or deliverbability rates much. You could still make money hitting straight spam folders back then. everyone moved to contact mailing and then SMS spam and then I lost track of the game after that.
