Hi @Samantha Anderl and @Andrea Wildt What kind of offers work the best for new freelance clients? Retainer, all upfront, partial upfront, free test job etc?

FTF(I’m from the future) is good on SEO and link-building. I was their content writer. Reach out to Matt Schickling on LinkedIn. But you may find similar results with less budget working with different freelance specialists

And I never use domain eMails, google communicates with their servers better to help reduce bounce rate. Tests show it doesn’t make a difference. Infact I reach out using personal eMails instead of corporate ones. If an eMail isn’t customized, whether it’s personal or for a corporate, you’re finished. My principle (Don’t send an email you can send to someone else) that’s where personalization has taken us. each eMail should be “theirs”

Hi Petar, is it your first tme doing cold eMails, even with all the information, reality just hits different. You will gain more knowledge as you run more campaigns. For deliverability, it just has to be 100%. No debate. For opens, again it has to be 100% but since we can’t achieve this, we rely on follow ups. I get a high of 50% for custom eMails, not blasts. If they don’t open, they don’t get the message, another wasted effort. I find good reply rate 4-6 per every 450 eMails. But I have problems setting up calls and actually closing the leads. Some useful resources include ED Gandia’s eMail guide, free. Also check Dayana Mayfield’s YT interview on cold eMails. This is what worked for me. Another personal insight: don’t send a sequence to someone who didn’t open the first eMail.

From marketing point of view, you have to reinforce emotional buying decision with logic. So that ball is in your coat 😁
