Update: I thought those 'cold email' courses were a total scam
A buddy made me try one for a month, and I got a $2,500 project from a message I sent. The trick was researching the company's recent news first, not just blasting a template. Anyone have a better way to find good leads without feeling slimy?

Honestly it's the same with dating apps and job applications now. People just copy-paste the same generic intro to fifty profiles (which feels awful to receive), but the one message that actually mentions something from your bio gets a real reply. That basic research step is what separates spam from a real human connection, you know?

Wait, isn't that just good sales? I mean, calling it a "trick" makes it sound sneaky, but you just did your homework. That's the basic first step anyone should take before reaching out. The slimy feeling comes from sending the same lazy message to a hundred people you know nothing about. If you found their recent news and wrote something specific about it, that's just being a professional. The course might have given you a push, but the real method is just putting in the work to be relevant.
