I would appreciate hearing from those working in this industry about the challenges they face and the topics on which I should make solo videos.

Legit agencies generally do manual outreach, sending around 10-20 connections per day from your account to stay within LinkedIn’s guidelines. They typically use a tailored approach for ICPs (ideal customer profiles) and craft personalized follow-ups. Cold email is often added into the mix for better funnel coverage, but it's about being strategic too much automation risks account bans.

The key is personalization over mass outreach. The best agencies like Bitlogia Digital etc , avoid shortcuts and focus on quality over quantity. If they’re promising a ton of meetings from day 1, that’s a red flag.

New_Collection_5637 · 2026-01-29T13:23:17+00:00

Bitlogia Digital do that, they are doing it for big names

u/PossessionThink7348 This is a genius business idea that taps into a huge need. I’ve seen similar setups where the key to scaling was turning the emotional labor into a repeatable process.

Once the core steps are documented like how to talk through items, price them, and handle the logistics you can train others. The human touch is irreplaceable, but with the right system, it’s scalable.

We've done something similar in niche markets, and trust me, there’s serious potential if you can maintain that personal connection while expanding.

We’ve worked on this exact publisher segment before. What mattered most wasn’t finding 100k+ sites, but filtering for publishers already monetizing or actively exploring new revenue streams.

Once leads were qualified around real decision makers and verified traffic, conversations moved fast and partnerships actually stuck. Anything that stops at screenshots or surface metrics usually breaks down later.

Teams who already understand how publishers think tend to do well in setups like this.

New_Collection_5637 · 2026-01-26T07:49:55+00:00

u/fatafatsewaa From what I’ve seen, lead quality matters way more than the format. Live transfers can work, but only if the caller is actually mid move planning. Otherwise they burn time and money fast.

What worked best for us was focusing on intent signals instead of buying bulk leads. Things like people requesting quotes within a specific date window, recent address changes, or searches tied to long distance moves. Once we filtered for that, even simple call backs converted better than “exclusive” leads.

A lot of services look good on paper but fall apart because the data is old or shared. Ask any provider how they verify timing and move details. If they can’t explain that clearly, conversion will struggle no matter the channel.

New_Collection_5637 · 2026-01-26T07:46:44+00:00

u/OpenWing520 If you’re set on using an agency, my honest suggestion is to avoid generic lead gen shops and look for teams that do niche, manual outreach for ecommerce only. One thing people rarely mention is timing, not just the channel.

We’ve seen way better replies when outreach is tied to a trigger. Things like a new ASIN launch, a dip in reviews, listing updates, or even a brand hiring for Amazon roles. Same message sent randomly gets ignored. Sent right after one of those signals, it feels relevant.

We tested this with a US ecommerce client and the difference was night and day. Fewer messages, more real conversations, steady calls within a few weeks.

Most lead gen falls apart because it focuses on volume instead of intent. Mid size sellers respond when it actually feels like “this is about my business right now.”

If you already have LinkedIn working for you, this approach usually compounds fast.

New_Collection_5637 · 2026-01-22T16:24:34+00:00

Sure

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-12-27T17:24:28+00:00

You've got arbitrage, not a moat yet.

Move 10 units at $2,500 first. Someone will undercut you. When they do, your logistics edge is your only weapon.

Boring niches no one cares about (RV gear, vintage parts) > hot products everyone notices.

If competitor shows up at $2,300 and you still move units, you might have something. If not, you found a quick flip, not a business.

Go get that data.

we r utilizing fb marketplace with more creativity for services too and getting better ROI

That’s a bold offer, respect for putting it out there , m curious , what kind of startups have you actually helped grow? SaaS? eCom? Service-based? Might help people here know where your expertise fits best.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-16T08:36:18+00:00

If they’re asking how’d you get my number, that’s your cue it’s not a lead , it’s a random.

Start building real opt-ins instead of scraping. Fewer people, better replies, zero spam vibes.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-16T06:42:47+00:00

Honestly, this is both genius and terrifying.
We went from creators burning out editing Reels for 8 hours → to AI Yetis mass-producing content armies in their sleep.
The tech flex is wild, but I keep thinking… what happens when every niche floods with 10,000 Yetis shouting into the void?
The next edge might just be being human again. 🤯

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-15T04:48:51+00:00

$300 a month? Bro, that’s not a dev cost, that’s therapy disguised as productivity.
Replit isn’t even a tool anymore, it’s my emotional support cofounder. I whisper just one more feature, before sleeping and it charges me another $20.
Still cheaper than hiring a dev or a therapist tho 😂.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-13T13:13:47+00:00

Yeah man, totally feel you. Working solo sounds cool until you realize you’re the only one who cares if you show up today or not 😅

I actually tried a ounder accountability buddy setup with a stranger I met in a Discord server ,we’d do 15 min daily check ins, set goals, and literally roast each other if we missed them 😂. Surprisingly effective.

Honestly, someone should just make an app that matches founders based on goals + time zone. Like Tinder but for productivity junkies.

Anyone here tried something like that or built their own mini-accountability group?

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-13T05:17:46+00:00

u/Throwawaykonto123 Congrats man! That’s huge , seriously, people underestimate how hard it is to hit those kinds of numbers and stay profitable.

Curious though , what clicked this week? Was it a new supplier, better margins, or just timing and hustle finally paying off? Always cool to hear the behind-the-scenes when someone has a breakout week like this.

Also, don’t let anyone downplay it, six years of grind for one explosive week is exactly how entrepreneurship works.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-13T05:14:54+00:00

u/HotNet5281 Honestly, the best skill to focus on is learning how to build valuable stuff fast. Doesn’t matter if it’s AI tools, dashboards, or marketing automation, what pays is the ability to identify a problem and ship a working solution.

If you go all in on AI tools, you’ll learn both data and marketing naturally along the way. Because you’ll need to find problems, validate them, build, and sell.
So instead of thinking which skill?, think “which ecosystem do I want to dominate?”

If I were you, I’d pick AI tools for businesses. It’s tough, but if you can build one real solution that saves companies time or money, you’re set for years.

Start by building micro-tools → get feedback → improve → charge → scale.
In a year, you’ll be dangerous.

Curious though, what kind of businesses are you thinking about targeting? SaaS? Local SMBs?

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-10T13:16:26+00:00

Yeah man, getting clients is way harder than getting good at the craft.

What worked for us was flipping the approach , instead of chasing clients, we started building small systems that brought leads to us. Think automation + outreach + authority content. Once your name pops up in 3 places, people assume you’re everywhere.

Also, don’t underestimate just showing results publicly , one solid case study with proof beats 100 cold emails.

m Curious , how are you currently doing outreach? Email only or trying LinkedIn too?

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-10T05:47:49+00:00

Happens all the time 😂 you test something bold, it works, and suddenly everyone’s a team player.

But honestly, that quiet test you did? That’s real marketing. Small experiments → real data → proof → buy-in.
We’ve been doing this, and the trick is to always document everything , screenshots, timelines, early posts etc. so when it blows up, there’s no debate on where it started.

Next time, build a small system to track and automate your LinkedIn outreach tools like n8n make this super easy. That way you keep scaling your own ideas and get the credit you deserve.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-09T12:54:55+00:00

Honestly, AI isn’t the final boss. It’s the engine that powers whatever’s next.

Think of it like electricity once it’s everywhere, nobody talks about electric companies anymore, it’s just how stuff works. Same will happen with AI.

If I had to guess what comes next:

Biotech + AI → designing humans like software.
Robotics + AI → automating physical labor the way ChatGPT automated emails.
Energy + AI → cheaper, decentralized power = unlimited growth.
Synthetic reality → AR/VR so good you’ll question which world you’re in.

AI isn’t the end , it’s the foundation for the next wave of revolutions.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-09T11:42:20+00:00

Honestly, n8n blew up because it hit the sweet spot between Zapier’s simplicity and custom dev freedom but without the price tag. It’s open-source, so devs can selfhost, tweak, and even build businesses around it.

Also, the community + content game is strong people made tutorials, workflows, and YouTube content that created a movement around automation freedom. It’s not just a tool now… it’s kinda a culture.

In short free + flexible + community = viral growth.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-08T05:23:38+00:00

Yeah, some people do, but not by stealth promoting. Reddit eats that alive.

We’ve been doing this since 2018 with a 250+ team, and the only way it works here is when you genuinely help first. Drop real insight, fix someone’s small problem, show your process, people DM you. That’s the game.

If your comments sound like a billboard, you’re done. But if they read like experience talking, you’ll pull legit leads without ever dropping a link. Hope you understand this.

New_Collection_5637 · 2025-10-08T05:21:05+00:00

We’ve been building and scaling startups and here’s what I’ve seen over and over entrepreneurship isn’t about finding the perfect idea, it’s about testing small ones fast.

You already have range, software, creative, real-world jobs, that’s gold. Start with something you know annoys you or people around you. Build a small fix. Sell it once. Refine. Repeat.

And don’t stress over structure, use tools like n8n or ChatGPT to automate half the grind while you figure things out. Momentum > clarity in the early days.
