starting cold email wins
Got my first 2 real convos going through cold email...brand is interested and likes portfolio (examples), likes the demo vid I made, asked for price, will update later ;) AND i created like 5 differnet email campaigns/variatons today to test with I'm thinking about 500 emails in each. I barely know what the heck I'm doing tbh..learning along the way.

early replies when you're still figuring out the setup is actually the best time to learn — you notice what's working before you've over-optimized anything. what's your targeting looking like right now, going broad or already niched down?
Why Ben is getting ignored (and how to fix it)
I got this cold DM from Ben. It’s not the worst I’ve seen, but he’s making the classic 'Service Provider' mistake: He’s leading with his numbers and his PRODUCT instead of a conversation. Truth is, nobody wakes up and think “boy, do I hope to get invited to a strategy session today!” Here’s the simple “trick” to make cold DMs start to click. Don’t try to “close” anyone… just open conversations. The Challenge: If you were Ben, and you wanted to actually GET A REPLY, without sounding like a bait and switch play… How would you rewrite this? Drop your 'Conversation Opener' version for Ben below. 👇👇 BONUS: If you wanna drop me one of your own examples below, you get extra bonus points!

The part that jumps out to me in Ben's DM is that it asks the prospect to do all the work: read the stats, understand the offer, and agree to a call, all before any back-and-forth. A one-line opener flips that because it only asks for something the person can answer in a single tap without feeling sold to. The thing I'd add to the conversation-opener idea though: the reply is where most people actually lose the deal. They nail a casual opener, get a "yeah that's me," and then immediately dump the full pitch, which feels like a bait-and-switch and kills the thread. What's worked better for me is treating the second message like a real conversation too, asking a genuine follow-up about their situation before value or an ask ever comes up. Leandro, when you get that first "yes" back from a simple opener, what's your go-to next message before it turns into anything close to a pitch?
Instagram Account Warm-Up
Hey everyone, if any of you are doing Instagram DMs as outbound, how do you warm up accounts? I don't plan on buying them but creating the gmail from scratch and warming them up. The goal is to have 5 accounts running at limit which from what I've seen is 25 DMs/day. The online resources kind of say different methods. Do I really need to use proxies and vpns or could I do it lean, 5 accounts sending manually every day? Would love your input!

One thing I'd flag: the 25 DMs/day number is really a ceiling for an established, trusted account, not a starting point. Brand-new accounts made from fresh Gmails get throttled way below that, and if you push them to the limit in week one you'll hit action blocks fast. What's helped me more than the proxy question is treating the first 2-3 weeks as pure account-building: post a few times, fill out the bio, follow and genuinely engage in your niche, and only start DMing once the account looks and behaves like a real person. Also worth knowing that DMs to people who don't follow you land in their message requests folder, where open/reply rates are much lower, so a lot of the "warm-up" value comes from getting some inbound engagement first. On proxies: if you're running 5 accounts, keeping them on separate clean connections does matter because Instagram clusters accounts that share the same fingerprint, but I wouldn't over-engineer it before the accounts are even aged. Curious what niche you're targeting, since that affects whether IG DMs or a follow-first approach converts better.
Question about Facebook outreach...
Hey guys, I know that my niche is most active on Facebook, and so I want to start outreaching on it. Problem: I don't want to create a new account and risk my ip getting flagged because I'd like to run ads in the future. The second problem is that my profile is a personal profile that is not US or even english (my niche is) and there are basically just birthday wishes on my profile in a language that my niche obviously doesn't understand. I haven't been using the account much but it is very old, has 2 connected pages, it ran ads before. So what would be the best approach? I'm thinking just change the profile pic to the one I have on Skool, add a bio that is a bit more business focused, hide the posts from other people on my profile or even remove them altogether (if it's possible). I don't think it's smart to start posting business content on this profile to my family haha. The strategy will be to join niche groups and start sending friend requests and then messages after 2 weeks of using it for 30min/day. Just wondering how you guys (who have done something similar) would go about this.

One thing worth weighing before you repurpose the aged account: the bigger flag risk usually isn't your IP, it's the sudden behavior change on an account with an established pattern. Going from occasional birthday posts to sending a spike of friend requests and DMs to strangers in a different country/language is exactly the shift Facebook's systems watch for, and because your ad account is tied to that same profile, a restriction there can hit your ability to run ads later too. If keeping the aged profile, I'd ramp slowly (a handful of connects a day for the first couple weeks), update the bio/photos to match the market you're targeting so the locale mismatch is less jarring, and engage in your niche's groups for a bit before any outreach. Quick question: is the account you'd outreach from the same one you plan to run ads on, or separate? That answer would change how I'd approach it.
