You can try Pepper Content; they can handle such scale. 

(I personally never tried them but I have heard they do decently at scale.)

This is what Pepper Content’s best use-case should be.

Happy to help. Also here is something i had written about this earlier - <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-find-right-social-media-tool-pooja-sriram/>

David Perell, Daniel Vassallo, Shaan Puri - my favourite folks on the bird app

There is a discord channel called “write of passage for the broke” run by some followers for those who cannot afford his workshop.

• Dave Trott. He still blogs regularly (I love how he layers his story. Also would recommend his books) - <https://davetrott.co.uk>
• Gill Andrews Newsletter (web and business specific guidelines) - <https://gillandrews.com>
• Dave Harland's Newsletter (good dose of fun. Also do follow him on LinkedIn as he trolls Simon Sinek every other day) - <https://mailchi.mp/340e37e95e47/signup>

Not sure if you did this already, but we warm up our emails before starting cold outreach. This can be done manually or automated with certain tools.
Another thing you can try is letting people unsubscribe or cleaning up your email lists every once in a while to remove any dead leads.

The more automated the cold outreach the more it has the chances of landing in spam as it gives Google enough data to tell it is automated cold email.

My suggestion:
• make every email unique and personalized and by personalized i don't mean "hi &lt;fname&gt;". I mean get into the skin of the prospect. this also extends to subject headlines.
• limit the number of emails to under 50 per account per day
• use a personal email ID like <mailto:fname@companyname.com|fname@companyname.com> instead of <mailto:marketing@companyname.com|marketing@companyname.com> or <mailto:info@companyname.com|info@companyname.com> etc.
• limit the number of links to max  of 1 per email, reduce to 0 if possible
• dont use any trigger keywords like, "click here", "signup now" etc.. keep them emails conversational

<@U02UTBVD2HG> you can use <https://www.gmass.co/warmup> to warm up your domain

So first never use your master domain. If it goes in too many Spam, then your DA will suffer. So here is a small blueprint
1. Use domain like @companyemail.com, @companymails.com, @companyinfo.com
2. Alternatively you can use subdomain @email.company.com
3. Set up your DKIM, SPF and DMARC records - these are super super important.
4. Get a list of subscribers who will open and click (Employees + Friends) - Send them 3 mails in a week and ask them to open and click (at different times)
5. Scale 0 - 100 (1 week). 100 - 500 (2 weeks). 500 - 2000 (3 weeks). 
6. Use a emailing tool that has clean servers (most low cost email solution have casino and dark web sites on the same server, which further degrades your authority to land in Inbox)
7. If you are using HTML in your cold email. Stop. Use only text.
8. Keep a backup sub domain warmed up. In case this gets fried, you are good to swap
9. <@U02USELSBRT> and <@U02UZQJMP8R> points

This thread is so insightful. Thanks for sharing all this :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey <@U02UTBVD2HG>

This is a checklist which I follow. may be of any help

<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sG_mDU00IZvKfOc7Qjg_8KuTfRGUV8KabER9fN3in6w/edit?usp=sharing>

Hey, we’re just getting started with this. I am using Miro boards to map out the journeys and then the emails are being written in google docs that are interlinked as part of a larger directory of all comms mails

We’re doing something similar. I’ve used whimsical to create leadflows. and have been using gsheets and creating drag and drop dynamic templates for difft use cases. We had these on notion, but the navigation was a pain. I’m thinking about if there’s a better way our there to do this.

Yeah, same question. I personally despise notion so I stay away from it. But yeah, maybe there’s a framework/tool built specifically for this. <@U02V9QUDK1Q> sir, you have a clue?

I’m almost in the same boat with notion:sob:

sorry - same process - mostll GDocs and if we have to modify an existing campaign, then directly in Mailchimp

So you have an email sequence and want to visualize the email (design/copy)?

Any marketers here from the crypto asset management space?

The elaborate con that tricked dozens into working for a fake design agency - <https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60387324>

We have faced this issue last year. There were a few modifications, through which we could overcome this issue:

1) Improved our brute force settings and certain checks on multiple requests from same IP
2) Upgraded our forms to Recaptcha V3 (invisible). - it is very effective in blocking spam submissions
3) Some server level updates to block bots and pings from certain domains

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks <@U02UMCVUFGT> and after implementing all the points we are still facing the issue. I am checking with the AWS folks and decoding the server logs because i am seeing a pattern of attacks.

Hola everyone,
I want to check competitor Ads on Twitter, with Twitter Ads transparency not functioning now is there any workaround possible?
TIA!

try checking sparktoro and <http://pro.similarweb.com|pro.similarweb.com>

<@U02U6080NCX> Try StackBrain (<http://stackbrain.io|stackbrain.io>) . You can not only track competition, but also view monthly growth, slice/dice by keywords, countries etc.

I am the founder.

Hey Pallavi - this is what we follow for creating audiences in Mailchimp:
• Define the audience logic and tags to be added
• Make sure the same contact is not getting emails from multiple audiences at the same time/day
• Create an audience only for the main activities, like - trial started, trial ended, upgraded to paid plan etc.
• Use tags for segmenting, like for upgraded to paid plan audience, a tag would be plan name
We've created only 4 customer journeys for tagging users based on their email activities, like if they clicked email 1 or email 2 from the sequence, then add X tag, so don't have a set process for it. But feel free to reach out if you've any questions. I'd be happy to help.

I'd recommend a freelancer or an agency instead. Have had a disappointing experience with one of these things.

<@U030N8RHURZ>, sure. Can you recommend good freelance designers?

I found them very expensive specially from Indian context

<@U033RUXVCAY>, yeah that makes sense. Who do you recommend instead as a marketing design freelancer?

I would advise to use Fiverr or some of those portals as that will help you justify the cost + get the best quality. I would recommend to go for someone in a range of $50 to $90 per design piece to experiment as design is a creative field and i've found a lot of fluff who still uses templates and just do a small change.

Hey
Do you mean you want to know about up and coming SaaS companies to work with?

Not for job. I want to know how people find out which SAAS products ( B2B and B2C ) to build ? Basically from entrepreneurship opportunity point of view.

I think TK Kader had put this very nicely into categories of products you can build and the kind of problems they solve in one of his <https://youtu.be/fUKQHf2SqnE|videos>. But honestly, if anyone here knew, they’d be building it XP

I don’t mean to discourage you but the kind of success SaaS businesses have saw in the recent past, made everybody aggressively look for opportunities and build something. So, everything you can think of has been build already.

The only thing you can do is look around yourself. See if there’s any problem you actively face, or any software you feel you can make better. And then be your own first customer.

Here’s how I’ve done it for my side projects. Can be applied to Saas as well:
1. Do a research in product hunt. Check for products that interest you and have a lot of upvotes. Read the comments. Check the comments to see what others feel about the product.
2. Do a competitor research and check the revenue and funding details of similar companies. Not a best way to see how big the problem is, but it's a start.
3. Check keywords to see if many people are searching for a solution. Now this is a better way to understand the size of the problem.
4. Create an MVP. Promote it on social media. DM people to see if they're interested.
5. Scale it up.

Any tips from said founder on how others can replicate his/her success? :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U02TTEFFU6B> got it. Might be a better use of the 10% anyway :wink:

He's the hidden gem. Also, a living breathing saas salary benchmark report.

Amazing. <@U02ULN6EFNV>  is incredibly resourceful.

A screenshot of this post was shared on LinkedIn and I just joined this community today because of it! :grin:

<@U02PDC4883V> can we set a timeline for releasing the benchmarks? (regardless of the form fills we get further)

They will give it to you for INR 2500/

Negotiate!

:see_no_evil:

We have used an agency - Value360
50,000 per profile per month
For about 1 pulse post
4 posts and a bunch of comments on other topical posts

Thanks <@U02V5F2JFME>. Any KPI's you observed or results you got from this exercise like speaker opportunities, customer comment styled enquiries converting to leads, policy advocacy, etc. If possible can you tell me which sector your company is in.

<@U02V979LY03> - not really. Still early days and we primarily wanted to have some consistency in the person posting messages on LinkedIn.

Will be good to see what metrics are people measuring

Hey,
Freelancers generally take these projects on per word basis. So if they are creating content like blogs or posts, charges are 2-5 ppw. Depending on the industry and the experience of the writer.

Agencies can offer you a monthly plan for each individual profile along with a strategy to follow for all the posts and creatives.

Generally a plan has 4 long post along with couple of carousels.

Costing is between 30k - 50k depending on the industry and scope of work.

Must say s11s is a place "where you get detailed answer with full of insights to questions which you think as dumb/basic"
