Hey guys 👋 I see a lot of people doing cold emails nowadays. But here’s the problem: - Most don’t have good lead sources ❌ - Because of that, they barely get replies 📉 The solution I found: There’s a super simple way to get thousands (or even millions) of qualified leads – just by clicking a few buttons: - Use Apollo.io → it has a massive database with millions of leads 🔎 - Combine it with Apify → there’s a scraper that lets you easily export them 💻 - Here’s the exact scraper I use: Apify Lead Scraper - The best part: you can scrape 5,000 leads for free 🚀 What if we all give it a try and share our results? 🙌 Looking forward to your all results !

Six months ago I was running a hungry agency with no idea how to consistently get clients. No referrals. No ad budget. Just cold outreach, SEO, and testing whatever I could. In May, I hit my first $10K month. Here’s what actually moved the needle, and what didn’t. What mattered • A real offer clients wanted - not just “web design” • Picking one niche and sticking with it - home service pros • Sending cold emails daily and not overthinking them • Following up. That’s how I closed my biggest project • Learning how to close deals fast and stay in the driver’s seat What didn’t • Posting on social just to stay active • Fancy proposals or branding tweaks • Waiting until things were “perfect” before launching • Thinking a great service alone would bring leads Momentum came when I stopped playing agency and just started solving one painful problem really well. If you’re early in the game, focus on that. If you’re ahead of me, I’d love to hear how you scaled past this phase. I’m hiring and building systems now - want to do it right. Let’s keep growing.

I spent $15 to purchase 100 connects and used them to apply for 7 jobs. Out of those, only 2 proposals were viewed by clients, and 0 hired me. The funny thing is, none of the 7 clients ended up hiring anyone—they just posted the jobs and left them inactive. which shows it is not about winning proposal. Despite having a 5-star rating and great reviews from 5 previous clients, my applications didn’t lead to any results, and I feel like I wasted my money. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it's worth buying more connects?
