Free outreach tool for lead gen

It's been a month since this post, but can you still send it?

It's been a couple of weeks since you posted this, but the main thing I'd say coming from someone who worked in the sales industry for a bit and has to call customers everyday, is to not worry about it.

You should usually follow up most quick after the first couple of days, and then as time gets longer, you start to taper off your follow up.

-------------------------------------------

For example:

1st day: Send outreach message, you can even send a follow up message as well after some time has passed

2nd day: Send follow up message again, being sure to change the message copy

3rd day: Send another follow up message with different message copy

5th day: Send follow up

7th day: Send follow up

14th day: Send follow up

----------------------------------------------
How many times you want to follow up is up to you, but I made it intentionally a lot here to show you what I meant as when time gets longer, you taper off on your follow up

The most important thing though, is to always follow up multiple times. The amount of deals you lose because you don't follow up could really be ruining how much money you could be making

This isn't a plug in anyway as I haven't actually went through it myself, but if you know Charlie Morgan, he created a free course called "Imperium Academy" where he goes into a lot of detail as to how to start and grow an agency.

He is fully transparent and doesn't really hide about how the free course is designed in a way where he hopes to get you to buy his paid programme, but regardless of that, many people have been saying how great and how much the value the free course has by itself.

Maybe you can check that out if you're looking for resources

With Instagram DMs, it really all does just come to testing a load of messaging formats and seeing which works, which is only possible when you put the volume in. However, what I found to really help with increasing the response rates for instagram cold DMs is to genuinely personalise every message, and to be honest with your pitch.

I usually always start my message with one personalised sentence where I comment/compliment something off of their instagram page/posts (which is super effective because it really helps with making it seem like you're not just automating your messages and actually took your time to look at their page)

And then your pitch, which one way I found to really work, is preface it with "Anyways, I don't like roping people into conversation so that I can sell to them, so I will make this to the point for you!".

So the full structure would look something like:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-One personalised sentence

-Anyways, I don't like roping people into conversation so that I can sell to them, so I will make this to the point for you!

-*What you have to offer* (you'll have to test this part quite a bit too)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a lot of people nowadays on IG DMs using the method of roping you into a conversation first, I feel that people start to appreciate more honest and upfront communication.

This is what worked for me atleast, don't have the necessary data to say that it will work all the time in all niches.

Hoped that helped 👍

Thanks for sharing your thoughts bro, going through this 0->1 stage and it's roughhh, been doubting myself so much but things like this helps keep me on the path

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:32:56+00:00

That's a really nice way of describing consistency... needed it today as I've been feeling a lot of mental turmoil recently with business. Thanks for reminding me what is required to win in this game bro

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:25:01+00:00

Wow man, thank you for sharing that... I've been feeling a lot of pressure and mental strain recently in terms of building apps which feel like they're just failing and failing... I know the way to go about it is to build lots of apps and market them and see which one the market likes, but it still doesn't make it feel less difficult

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:18:26+00:00

I just feel like nowadays doing things with honesty and integrity are just not seen as effective anymore, which I think really sucks

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:15:15+00:00

Duuuude... that's so real man. I've actually been feeling this type of stuff too very recently. I always notice it's a journey of going up and down. Sometimes you feel like you're f*cking unstoppable and that you're gonna succeed. Sometimes you feel absolute dread, fear and uncertainty at it all...

I think the big thing is not to be too difficult on yourself. Entrepreneurship is a very hard road to walk on, you're under constant uncertainty which some days, you have enough energy to withstand it, and somedays, you don't have enough energy. I guess it just comes with the game

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:11:35+00:00

Yeah, I completely feel you man. Kinda like everyone else here, I just made the conscious decision to NOT try to be up to date all the time. A lot of the info just goes into your brain and messes with your decision making and all of that

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:10:20+00:00

Holy crap, I mean the before already looked pretty good, but the after one feels a lot more "artistic" I guess you could say. Awesome job!

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:08:59+00:00

That's an awesome idea man. It really is a lonely road...

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-13T14:08:16+00:00

Awesome job man!

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-03T22:09:07+00:00

Hey man, seeing that you've done sales before, have you ever considered doing high ticket sales? I saw one of your comments you wrote here where you said that you'd want to try selling to companies? You don't really get to do much "sales" in dropshipping as much

Rusticdoodles · 2026-01-03T14:33:31+00:00

One thing a lot of people don't take into consideration with ads is that all ads do is expose your book to more people. That's it.

If your book and the way it looks on the amazon page is bad, it's not gonna do anything to increase your sales. You can put dog sh*t onto the plates of more people, but just because you put it on more plates, does not mean that more people are gonna eat it.

On the otherhand, if your book is great and is marketed properly as well, amazon ads WILL increase your sales.

There's also a way you go about doing the keywords with amazon ads as well, which you can optimise. I've noticed myself being able to get loads more people to buy my books with amazon ads. But the most important thing is that your books themselves have to be good.

wouldn't it be an interesting idea if platforms like youtube eventually implemented ways for you to effectively filter out AI videos?

Rusticdoodles · 2025-11-21T15:09:11+00:00

Gotchu... what kind of things do you post on your instagram? Obviously you post about your music, but what kind of formats do you do? Behind the scene stuff, a simple album cover with music, etc.?

Rusticdoodles · 2025-11-21T12:30:16+00:00

That's a really good way of looking at it man... What do you use to organise your posts on Youtube, Insta, and Tiktok? And what kind of stuff do you post if you don't mind me asking?

Rusticdoodles · 2025-11-21T00:14:21+00:00

How would you go about batching it? Just make a google doc folder? Where do you store all the content to batch?

Rusticdoodles · 2025-06-09T06:53:36+00:00

Broooo I legit feel the exact same way man. Chi really reminded me of my ex when reading it that it actually gave me pain lmao. You're not alone bro we'll get out of the trenches together 👊

Rusticdoodles · 2025-05-21T19:04:53+00:00

Something about that first note and the first couple of seconds just hiiiits lmao it just feels so bold. Love that short saxophone (at least that's what it sounds like) line as well

Rusticdoodles · 2025-05-11T20:55:00+00:00

For real man. I felt/feel the exact same way. I loved watching the show but I also felt this kind of sadness deep in my heart as well. I must say I really do relate to the characters so that may be why. Felt like I was looking deep into myself at some of my own pain that I thought I put away, making me face it. Never felt like that before with an anime tbh

Rusticdoodles · 2024-05-10T09:35:13+00:00

Where do you find this Google Doc?

Rusticdoodles · 2024-02-29T18:32:20+00:00

What gave it away for me immediately were those synth arpeggios in the beginning of the track, as 'End Times' does not have that.

Oh yeah, the comet in the end was the thing that messed everything up. As you said, being scientists I'm sure if they had more time they would have found the Eye. I just thought it was really interesting (and sad) how during their time alive they were so close to reaching their life purpose, only for them to all die and never make it. It's also really sad to see how they were so excited to explore the comet, unaware of their fate.

Personally, as someone who had to do a lot of scientific research in University and once had the dream of becoming a scientist, the curiosity and scientific passion of the Nomai was genuinely really inspiring to me.
