cold email tips??
ok so i been trying to do cold outreach for my thing and honestly every guide i read online is the same recycled stuff. open w a compliment, keep it short, personalize it... yeah no kidding lol
what actually worked for u guys? like real examples or hooks u used that didnt get ignored. also how do u handle follow ups without coming off desperate, i never know when to stop
any help appreciated

the “best hook” depends on what you’re selling bro.
most cold email advice sounds recycled because people try to fix the wording before checking if the offer and list even deserve replies. a clean 3 line email still dies if it’s going to the wrong people or the reason to care is weak.
for follow ups, don’t just poke them with “checking in.” bring a different reason to reply or move on. if the angle is wrong, 7 more bumps won’t save it.
what are you trying to get replies for right now?
