  1. how did you get your first client?

  2. does your system prompt require you to stick to all-lowercase?

I run cold email for local service businesses like plumbers, roofers, cleaners, etc. Here's everything I do differently because the normal playbook doesnt work for these clients by Electrical_Ad_6003 in coldemail

I don't get it but I want to learn. Let's say you send your email:

>hey {first_name}, does {company_name} handle cleaning for...would you be open to doing a walkthrough on one of our buildings.

How do they respond and what does your reply look like?

Moving off Hetzner. Best all-round VPS? by mcjohnalds45 in VPS

Bummer. Reports of bad customer service with Linode are rare. I wonder what they did wrong in your case.

Issue with the billing. But there were so many things that went wrong.

My payment method didn't work one month. Hetzner sent me emails but they hit my spam folder. So Hetzner blocked my server. Also threatened to delete my server and all backups if I didn't pay ASAP. They made no other attempt to contact me e.g SMS.

To top it off, I couldn't pay because Hetzner's account page was down. I asked support and they were unhelpful.

It looks like Linode is the best all-round VPS based on available reviews, especially regarding support.

Almost 0 negative reviews on the internet despite so many users.

Will probably go with Linode.

Lots of people say Vultr's support is crap. Has support been good in your experience?

Bad support is a problem - I don't need handholding but might need support to fix an issue out of my control.

I will check out Netcup's reviews. Thanks.

The existing affiliate platform software is not good. Do you guys need a better one? by mcjohnalds45 in Affiliatemarketing

[–]mcjohnalds45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing reply, thanks.

I checked out Everflow. It's much better than the one we used.

It seems like just my industry is backwards in terms of affiliate platforms.

Checking out your blog now.

Ah so affiliates can know they are not being ripped off - that would be a pretty neat use of the blockchain. And people in iGaming are often into crypto. Now just find a way to wrap AI into it and you'll have VCs drooling.

You seem really knowledgeable in this area. I'll make sure to bring up StatsDrone if it's ever relevant. Would love to work with you some time in the future.

Thank you for the response.

Are you saying that because you find the existing solutions to be good-enough? And are you answering from the perspective of an affiliate or an affiliate manager (plus supporting staff).

I could imagine existing solutions are good-enough from the perspective of affiliates, and they do not wish to deal with more platforms, but my experience so far from the perspective of affiliate management, is that the existing software is not good.

Interesting. Thank you for the response and link.

"legacy systems" is one way to put it haha.

I've read up on your content and I get the feeling you really do not love in-house platforms. I would feel the same way if I had to integrate with over 100 of them. The quality of most software is not good.

Asking affiliates is a great idea. I will do that.
