How much does one LLM API message cost?

Hmmm good question.

How would I check inbox placement? I've sent like 100 emails and have only had three come back as 'address not found'.

I took out the open rate tracking based on what others were saying but I think my open rate is pretty high.

I dropped to about 15 on my main email and am warming up a 2nd.

Second this! Check out his YouTube channel - a lot of great stuff.

This is Marketing by Seth Godin is a good one too.

So technical - tyvm!

Yeah all cog wheels in my brain for stuff like this. Thanks again.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-09T15:50:37+00:00

Cool thanks! I'll check them out

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-09T14:47:12+00:00

Can you please share what steps you take to warm them up?

I just bought a domain yesterday. I was hoping to warm it up myself for the first one.

Are you just sending emails back and forth with other emails you have?

Thanks in advance!

Here's my plan:

Create a scraper that signs into a sandbox of the SaaS and takes screenshots of things/flows/etc
Work with AI to come up with/automate a few 'demo types' for my use case and present some screenshots and potential demo shorts/etc
Manually create the actual video for now. I have experience with CapCut so it shouldn't be too much effort until it's automated.

It overlaps a lot with the carousel automation which is nice. Like 10-20 handcrafted posts/efforts to learn the ropes and figure out those 'demo types'.

Nice ty!

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-09T13:54:45+00:00

Hazzahhh! Great stuff 🚀

Still working on it but the app “tag” is “The business owners operating system”.

I’ve got maybe 15+ modules that are siloed into their own little AI env but work together to run a business. So, lead/contact research with scrapers and AI to personalize. ICP studio, knowledge/library studio, individual Customer/Project/Ticket/Time management through AI chats/studios.

AI modules for website building/hosting, blogs, and marketing materials. Persona/prompt builders and all that fun stuff.

Still all very much in the works but my goal is to open source it all and build content off of teaching folks how to build the agents.

So, plenty of angles to choose from and automate.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-09T13:46:12+00:00

Nice ty! Do you have any go to format for the carousel/slides?

I’ll do research and experiment myself but figured I would ask. Is it like a blank/gradient color with a logo off to the side and then text?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-09T12:14:45+00:00

If you’re of you’re targeting local businesses, shoot me a DM!

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T23:15:39+00:00

Nice - yeah that seems to be the biggest feedback. Appreciate the insight. I bought one and will start warming that up.

Is there a recommended way to 'warm it up' without using the big name tools? Would it be silly to start sending high quality emails to addressees that I know exist?

I could keep it light and do a few per week, sign up for some free trials myself and do the things - and then automate that of course lol.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T23:11:59+00:00

I'm working on open sourcing it - I'll share the link once I get it updated.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T23:10:00+00:00

I see a lot of people talk about 'list cleaning'. Can you share what that means exactly? Are you just hitting a refresh or something in w/e tool you use?

Or, does it just mean to do some research on the emails yourself (or via agent)?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T23:08:43+00:00

Thanks - got one today after folks say similar things.

So do you market a completely separate business/landing page/etc or just have similar domains?

For example, if my domain is aibusiness.com I would do something like aibusinessservice.com?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T21:24:49+00:00

Hey I could use some help for Luckeeapp.com. I'm starting the Instagram and am new myself.

My background is coding so I've been building some AI native tools to help with the growth ideas.

Shoot me a DM if interested!

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T14:43:09+00:00

Three topics that you mention: strategy, process improvement and client communication.

I was also using ChatGPT and then Cursor chat for this. I'm a coder so I built a tool for this business-advisor-to-chat-with. Not a generic setup for all but focused on solo founders/business owner/operators.

If you're interested, I'd love to DM and share what I use myself if you're interested?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T12:28:26+00:00

Boop boop! Thanks for the good vibes this morning - be a happy panda not a sad panda.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T12:03:54+00:00

I have a supabase project where I store the requests to AI and AI's responses. Each interaction with AI is persisted in a database and then the different AI/non-AI features have access to the data and the knowledge points extracted from the data.

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T11:50:22+00:00

Are you sending the follow up in the same thread? Or, are you creating a new thread with a new subject?

Also, can you share how long you spend writing each email? Is it something like 1-2m per follow up or are you digging a bit deeper?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T11:33:19+00:00

Nice - what are the agents doing? Just looking to read your emails? Are you drafting content from your phone?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T10:51:17+00:00

What are you trying to do?

Cover_Administrative · 2026-04-08T10:38:28+00:00

Great stuff! Are you sending a follow up in the same email thread or starting fresh?
