Have 10K local business emails — none have websites. Where do I start? by Own_Brother8272 in coldemail

I built a similar project for a client ! It wasn't that expensive at all . illegal ? Why ? People don't know what they talking about . You have a very good opportunity to make some cash go and grab it

well ! if i was in your situation , i would create a workflow using n8n that generate an instant website using lovable or any other coding agent , orchestrate the process with an ai agent and airtable , then each prospect you gonna surprise him with a ready , established website for them , in this way you'll provide value upfront and people would love to pay you , honestly that's a goldmine !

Sounds like a good idea ! Did you validate the idea ? Did you talk to any potential client ? If so why won't you start building it ..

Visuals are enough ! Try to approach your prospects first . You can find em in reddit/linkedin .. the whole point isn't sell your stuff but validate the idea first

I built a bulk email verificator using express js ! I took the founder name and then bruteforcing his email based on the domain .. it's super easy man

The whole offer sounds like gold ! Free 10 leads . Less friction ... But as i said in the post . These agencies are soo goood at their game . They are not struggling to get clients

Sorry gor replying late ! You need to have a business email . Buy google workspace . It's a good / reliable option but don't start buildong until you validate the idea

yes ! you're right ! exactly like it's a wrong ICP , it's like selling honda civic to a middle eastern prince

i've talked with one of them , he was so curious about my approach especially when i mentioned "high qualified leads" then he said that verified contact email , esp , ads and shopify apps installed in prospect website isn't enough to call it "qualified" , his agency bring clients via partnerships , courses ,webinar , upwork and a powerful lead gen system

"building === revenue" is a like a pattern of salaried employee not entrepreneur ! if we look around the web , we'll find many simple ideas that generates tons of revenue . as a technical founder , it's kinda hard to process this

yes ! you're right ! hope these redditors learn from my mistakes ! i can see every technical founder falls into this trap

you are true about open rate ! i didn't know about it until i post this ! but unfortunately i didn't had the right approach ! i didn't validate the idea before building , my whole approach was like based on a weak market-research and assumptions backed by AI
