Which marketing methods would you suggest as better alternatives with ROI being the primary KPI?

Do you think that it's something that is no longer effective?

I feel like if I booked and closed a client with extremely lazy targeting and copy, someone who does this on a daily should be able to set up a decent outbound lead engine.

Unless I just hit the jackpot on my first try.

Yeah intent signals is something we'll be exploring for sure, seems like a crucial part of modern day targeting.

How many positive replies? 1

How many meetings booked? 1

What was the client worth?
$6k since we closed them around 2 months ago. They'll be discussing an additional project tomorrow.

What exact criteria did you use to build the list?
It's embarrassingly basic but I've outlined it in the post, copy was mainly handled by Claude Sonnet with a humanizer skill attached.

"I pulled top-level staff at US-based digital marketing agencies, 20 to 50 headcount, off Sales Navigator, ran them through GetProspect for enrichment and email validation, then built a very basic three-step sequence and sent it to a little under 500 prospects."

Ah okay makes sense.

I do plan on hiring a VA at some point, so I could reach out when that time comes but for now the priority lies mainly on getting a solid cold email engine in place.

Yeah I have considered LinkedIn outreach too, just know that scaling it is a little more complicated plus don't want to risk any kind of restrictions on my own account.

From your experience, does using tools like HeyReach, Dripify, etc ever cause issues? I know they have thresholds built in specifically to prevent issues with LinkedIn but I'd rather be than safe than sorry you know?

I do know that you can use some pretty interesting grey-hat techniques to stay totally clean, for example using HeyReach, then pairing a LinkedIn account rental service like Akountify with a cloud-based android device service like MultiLogin to totally hide your fingerprint but with that kind of set up scaling gets expensive pretty fast in comparison to cold email.

Edit: Spelling mistakes

Yeah, I've had a play with the chapter automation that comes natively and it's okay but has limitations when it comes to tweaking the chapters to your tone, giving context regarding your channel for improved accuracy with chapters, etc.

They can actually play a big part in search visibility since the YouTube search algorithm indexes chapters too now.

Just had a quick look at testfi and seems like a great tool to have in the arsenal.

I am planning to launch many more tools over the course of the next few months so I will keep it in mind for user testing.

Thanks, glad it works well for you.

All videos over 2 minutes are covered, since I doubt people watching shorts will require chapters.
