I get 20 emails like these a day. They’re all spam. I’d love to learn how to write an email that actually connects. I swear if I sent that email to you, you wouldn’t tell it apart from the 50 others you received alongside mine.
@NomadOverNormal We have a good playlist that covers copywriting, offer and segmentation step by step: th-cam.com/video/PZIc0zBv_NI/w-d-xo.html also on our Instantly Accelerator Program inside the platform, we have a lot of content about this subject: app.instantly.ai/app/accelerator
There’s no perfect copy or template out there you simply just have to continously a/b test until you hit the right copy. More convo with your customers also is powerful way to get insights and write better copy.
Exaggerate the difficulty of accomplishing something big -> Transition to Implying (Discretely or Out Loud) that your service/product is the only reasonable solution -> Showcase the solution -> $ Nice.
Just trying to be useful here - that personalized first line is clearly not personalized. Like if you were the recipient you’d know it’s not personalized. Especially if you’re a target for outreach. And most likely if you are selling in a saturated market, then the point of contact is a hot target for outreach so you have to up the sophistication
Also - if I was a plumber...I would definitely NOT believe the "we can get you 5 new customers per week" offer...I think that is WAY over the top...maybe it works ...but I'd be like...this is Bullshyte
How do I send a mass mail which is personalized ? Does this work with instantly ? With typing in all the names from the potential leads but just send one email.
Instantly has a feature called AI Prompts which allows you to create personalized first lines, email copy, find competitors, create outreach ideas, clean lists, and much more. Here is our guide with all the info: help.instantly.ai/en/articles/8317073-ai-prompt
What happens when a client calls you in the middle of say a 3/5 email campaign. How do you quickly get some context on what stage they're at? It would seem unprofessional if you get a call and have no idea who the person is and what communication they've received from you.
Yes, we do include an unsubscribe option in our cold emails. The perception of whether an email seems automated or personalized largely depends on its overall content. When the email is tailored and provides valuable information, the unsubscribe message is less likely to detract from its effectiveness. Additionally, including an unsubscribe link or text is crucial for compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act.
You can divide your lead list into segments based on various criteria and tailor your outreach and email copy to each segment. Make sure your emails are really helpful and related to what the person is interested in. Use Spintax to make variations of the same email copy. You can find more tips in this playlist: th-cam.com/video/PZIc0zBv_NI/w-d-xo.html
If i use a domain that's 5 years old, with a lot of good email history, can I ramp up sending more than 90 emails per day? If so, how many is a safe #?
what about warming up..... i have 4 domains with 3 emails each...... they are warming up 7 out of 30..... do I need to wait until they are all warmed up?..... should I only send 50 a day? a little guidance would be helpful.
We usually recommend warming up new domains/accounts for at least 2-4 weeks before sending any cold email. Also, we recommend keeping the warmup activated indefinitely as long as you plan to use these accounts.
@escapevelocityvideos the goal is to reassure potential client and show real value without the pressure. You might offer a free initial consultation, an informative webinar, or valuable insights/report related to their industry instead.
You can search in our Leadfinder for your specific area, and it will provide you the targeted leads. We recommend users sticking to our best practices in our Instantly Accelerator Program inside the platform app.instantly.ai/app/accelerator and doing their own research as every country has their own regulations.
Find the company compliments from AI are generally lame. Any ideas on how to improve those so they don't come across as wishy-washy, like most of these do?
To elevate AI-generated compliments from "meh" to "marvelous," injecting specificity and sincerity can work wonders. Tailoring compliments to individual achievements or qualities can make them feel more genuine and impactful. Finally, expressing admiration with confidence and enthusiasm can convey genuine appreciation and leave a lasting impression.
@mars8289 It depends on the volume you want to send. If you want to increase the volume of emails sent, you'd be getting more secondary domains and creating email accounts from those domains. But if you want to test different campaigns, you can create a few campaigns when you're starting, so you can see which email copy performs the best. And whenever your emails accounts are warmed up, you can connect them to a campaign to start sending.
I was planning to get the growth package which stays that 1000 active leads and 5000 emails monthly. Does that means I will be able to collect 1000 email ids (lead list) using Instantly by adding the type of people whom I am looking for?
@soumyarai1999 1000 active leads is the number of contacts (leads) you can have uploaded to your campaigns at any time. Growth package is our Outreach plan. We have a Lead Finder tool for finding those leads, and it is a separate product, you can find more info here, when you click on "leads" instantly.ai/pricing
Feedback: The free search amount is only 4. I'm looking for niche smaller companies in a particular industry. I didn't get a chance to see if Instantly had the companies I was looking for before hitting the free limit. Also the Add app instructions need to be updated for 2024. I recommend making the free search limit at least 10-25. I only saw big obvious companies before I could narrow my search. I don't want to pay and then find out you don't have what I'm looking for.
Im still confused. Say, I want to make the plumber my copywriting client. What do I do after sending him the free copy? Or is this only the beginning to get them to message you, then try to ask them about their outreach then help them?
@jinsong2521 so with the first email you want to engage with your prospect and start the conversation. When they reply you can send them more info or get them to book a call with you.
Hey guys, amazing video! One question: I have on Gmail an e-mail alias, but they use the same mailbox. So do i need to get 3 separate mailboxes or can i just use 3 e-mail aliases? Thanks
You need to get 3 separate mailboxes with user licenses. 👍 Alias emails are not good for sending cold emails because they send from your original mailbox behind the scenes. You would not be able to connect them to Instantly.
the emailing sounds very pushy, it's the kinda emails I would turn down. Why don't you try to give them a vision of what would be the scenario after they reach out to you. example for plumbing would be that scenario of more Clients more $$ or better quality of Clients also more $$$. It's easier to sell the vision to someone then trying to give free stuff, free stuff well has a value of free.
Thanks, but I have one question. If they reply to my email, will the other 3 steps of sequence still be sent to them automatically, or not? Or does the sequence only continue to be sent if they dont reply to the email?
Ok, so even AI is only 50-70% good as a human writing the 1-line compliment, it is still 100X more efficient than writing out compliments by hand. The additional utility from the speed and moderate quality could highly likely beat slow but quality 1-line compliments written by humans
Thanks for your insight! You’re right-AI may not always match human nuance, but its efficiency allows for quick, scalable outreach. This balance of speed and utility can lead to better engagement overall.
Awesome video! How many emails would you say per domain to send? Example: 3 mail boxes created under one domain. Do you suggest 50 emails sent a day for each mailbox under that domain once we are warmed up for 2 weeks?
@jamesluctamar4552 Glad you liked our video! Send 30 emails per mailbox (3 mailboxes per one domain = 90 emails sent per domain). Don't start sending 50 emails right after 2 weeks of warmup. Gradually increase the volume, so you can start sending a lower number of emails, then check the campaign stats, and if the reply rates or open rates are good, you can increase the volume slowly.
@kingatlar7036 the reason behind this is not to damage your sender reputation. If your domains are new, email providers will know that, and sending a high volume of emails from new domains does not send a good signal to them. This is why you need to keep your email accounts in the warmup all the time. Read more about warmup here: help.instantly.ai/en/articles/5975329-how-warm-up-works-and-why-it-s-important
@bigrdog27 You shouldn't send cold emails from your main domain. Get some new domains (secondary domains) for your cold emailing. This might be helpful: help.instantly.ai/en/articles/6502027-scale-your-cold-email-campaigns-with-secondary-sending-domains-the-strategy-how-to-implement-it
I forget that the video is going to be all about the platform even though it is on their youtube channel lol - lost interest as soon as I remembered. Loved the platform, but for an already current user, I didn't see much value.
You need to contact the relevant niche with your business offer. Sending emails to prospects that need your service/product is not spam. Cold email is one of the highest ROI activities if done right.
In cases where you don't have the owner's name for a cold email subject, you can use a generic but polite greeting. For example: "Dear Business Owner," or "To the Manager of [Company Name]," If possible, try to personalize the rest of the email with relevant information to make a stronger connection. Also, Instantly has its own email finder called "Leadfinder" with verified contacts only (they all have the owner's name) 🙂 You can check it out here: app.instantly.ai/app/lead-finder
Just FYI, Google will flag your email as spam if you use words like 'guarantee". Try replacing it with alternative words like sure, promise, etc.

Is there something like this for a B2C model? Instantly seems to only be good for B2B
Cold Email outreach is primarily for B2B but you can try it for B2C if you are reaching out to business email accounts.
What if I couldn't generate my clients 10 leads as promised? Isn't guarantee word risky?
Yes, but it is good to offer something to remove the risk from your client's end. If not a guarantee, then offer a free trial, or give free advice.
