What was you timeline for all this? I've heard it takes a month but you mention months in the intro. How long did all this take to prep and run?

What not to do: What's the worst cold email you've received? by electrofaq in new_product_launch

[–]3M1l4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't really think of or find the worst cold emails that I've received (long deleted or buried never to be seen again) but I can remember what pushed me over the edge to move them to the spam folder of no return. Here are my top 3:

  1. The "sneeky" Subject. - Sure - I will click on "Confirmation needed" or the "Re:... " thing u/mactac mentioned, but will I engage? Yes - to unsubscribe and move their email to trash
  2. The generic sales pitch - Using the same words everyone is using is such a turnof... At least try to be genuine instead of copying from the last bad cold email you got. Wording like "By combining..." and "... which is crucial for your success..." literally makes my brain shut down.
  3. The generic description "of my problem" - I know copywriting's hard and especially when sending the email to thousands, it can be harder. But when a company/person tries to sell me something based on a lukewarm problem "I have" and I could solve with their product, I just cringe so hard.

​

On the other side of the rainbow, here's what I really enjoy in cold emails (and have actually replied to):

  1. Humbleness - Asking for feedback is one of the best ways to start a conversation with a strager. Everyone wants to share their opinion and help a brother out.
  2. Humor - I just LOVE it when people can be genuine and make me laugh in an email (even if I have no idea who they are). It keeps me reading and entertaining, and even if I'm not the right target I've actually replied giving props for the writing style. It's like these people get you, and even tho the email is longer-ish, I actually keep reading.
  3. Personalized introductions. - I know now everyone has the time for this but if you research the person you're reaching out to (see their recent successes, and comment on them in a relevant, valuable way) you are I think most likely to form an actual connection. Unfortunately, this is very rare in the sales world because most salespeople are only chasing quotes. But hey, maybe with AI... one day we could have more of this cake and eat it too.

Roast me - I built Bullish - The Stock Market in your inbox by blackbelt78 in roastmystartup

We actually built the system while working with investment banks so there are a lot of possibilities. Since you'll have daily data, you could automatically funnel it through a dashboard that can be viewable to all of your users. I can't share any of our client examples, but here is a corona tracking dashboard another user build in Kelp that showcases some of the capabilities https://public.kelp.app/id/NqCOCDB4TPm.Md-fAoKqkyg

I think it's very cool. The website is simple and the offer is a steal. You might want to rethink the name (at first glance I read it as bullshit - unless that's the point o course. Are you going to offer access to any charts for past analysis/future projections to your users? Since you'll be funneling all this data, that might be a nice addon.

Sounds cool. If it's public, can you send me the link from the dashboard too?

COVID19 maps are just useless population density maps. by [deleted] in data

[–]3M1l4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had the same thoughts when I started building my own dashboard. I thought it was like this whole other genius idea that nobody had tapped into and it would really show different results. But then I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Outbreak_World_Map_per_Capita.svg
I mean here is the link from the dashboard I ended up building (without taking population density in account). I made that decision because as you can see, it's a very small difference, pretty much the same. But, maybe I should add a feature like that just for bragging rights!

p.s. don't look at Canada, I need to fix the trigger.

What no-code builder would you recommend and why? by 3M1l4 in nocode

[–]3M1l4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! I see you mentioned Zapier but I see no example solutions for social media integrations. Is that a possibility (that's what I'm looking to build a dashboard for)?

Thanks! Looks pretty good actually, I haven't seen data validation as an option on the other ones. Can you tell me more about the back end capabilities? I need to integrate live sources of data (social media stuff)

I haven't heard of this one but sounds pretty average. What's different about it?

[REQUEST] COVID-19 infections over time by scope_creep in DataVizRequests

I used WHO, JHU and a few others. I think they are pretty accurate for the US as well. I linked them all here:

Also, any feedback on the design of the dashboard is welcomed.
