At first, it sent around 300 a month, but then I dialed it back to less than 50. Then I added the ability to automatically follow up on people who I had contacted before, but did not a close a deal with (did this monthly, to keep leads warm). I never really used subs, but tried it. It was too much hassle and I'm very lazy.
In terms of dialogue, I searched for key terms in replies, and only replied to those that fit. I did miss on good leads, but the follow up email got me back on their mind and they would always reply.
- eru 14y agoAre you interested in commercialising that system?
- orangethirty 14y agoI've thought about it, but the code is shit. Cleaning it up would not take much time, but I'm very busy with like a thousand different projects. This is an old version of the Nuuton crawler (V0.2, I think), and is way buggy. And its overly complicated being that it was a crawling/aggregating system for a search engine. I would re-write it in Python (like I did with Nuuton), and take off all the crap. Use something like Scrappy to make development easier. Though I wish I could do it with someone else (a co-founder, if you will). This sort of thing could make a lot of money in the right markets. They do exist already, but most are antiquated. The advantage that I have is that I do my own email campaigns. So the emails that get sent out are actually A/B tested for performance. I do plan to offer the actual emails that I sent to get clients for around $20 soon. Its an easy way for freelancers to get clients without much hassles. If you are interested, then shoot me an email.
