I f*cking hate cold outbound. Why?
Here’s my life at doing cold email in 2023:
Sending 25.000 personalized emails with a staff of 3 over a six-month period.
Hating my day-to-day because I'm hearing f-off from morning till night.
Getting a return of a whopping $0.

(Which for sure is true)
But in all honesty:
We were doing it for https://ReactSquad.io and there are thousands of dev shops that are spamming everyone, so we likely immediately got mentally put into that bucket....
On the contrary; if you ask 25000 hiring managers of companies that use React if they're open to freelance candidates and you're getting 0 responses, you're doing it wrong.
But glad you found something that works now!
Here’s my life now:
Jamming with a content team that provides value to everyone seeing our content.
AND getting enough returns to double down on building a media flywheel.
