- papyrus9244 1y agoThey do the same with emails. I've got emails from them with links to paypal-communication.com. It's stupid.
- devoutsalsa 1y agoI was learning about cold email marketing earlier this year, and it's all about learning to be a spammer: - Registering lots of domains (launchmyapp.com, trymyapp.com, myapp.info, gomyapp.biz, etc.) - setting up a limited number of mailboxes per domain - warming email accounts up for 2 weeks by signing up for a service that sends to and receive messages from your accounts - setting up a meta inbox to track messages sent and received across all of your accounts Now pretty much every domain that isn't myapp.com looks like a spammer's domain to me.
- HWR_14 1y ago> cold email marketing earlier this year, and it's all about learning to be a spammer You sound surprised. What's the difference between "cold email marketing" and "spamming"?
- 7bit 1y agoOne term ist slightly longer
- vanviegen 1y agoCold email marketing can be highly targeted. Like, reaching out to your 5 potential customers and telling them about your service in terms of their specific context. Spamming is not that.
- devoutsalsa 1y agoYou're right, although I think I'd just call that sending a few emails. Cold email marketing as a practice includes learning how to avoid spam filters and avoiding being detected, and it's unapologetically spammy.
- Hamuko 1y agoI once got an email from PayPal where it claimed that I had been double-charged on my PayPal account, and they also misspelled my first name. It was a legit email, but it sure as shit didn't look like it.
