Hi all! I was stuck with the generation of an email database for my cold emails campaigns for a while and not spend all my money in tools like Apollo, I have seen on this community that I was not the only one with this problem. So after trying a bunch of complicated solutions, I finally cracked it for under $10/month, and with a super easy process. The secret sauce was Make.com , this tool is incredible and you can automate almost everything with a cost almost ridiculous! Here’s exactly what I did: Start by creating a Make.com scenario. The scenario will fetch the data from a Google sheet, this will contains google maps urls of the result of searching some niche on google maps. Grab a Chat GPT prompt to generate urls for a niche and different cities, all the URLS follow a pattern—it’s a lifesaver Use outscraper to scrape all the business and with info and all the contact information Save this data in some place, you can use an Airtable module, Google sheet or something similar. And then you will have thousands of leads and you can still using make.com to qualify them. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏 . Pd: Attached there is an screenshot of my scenario (is a super easy and short one, and the amount of value that you get is insane 😀)

Here are the 6 steps that anyone can follow: 1. Offer Look at the offers in your market & ask these questions: -How can this be more desirable? -How can this get faster results? -How can this be more unique? -How can this be simpler? 🔍Do research on your competitors and find ways to one-up them. 2. Niche You may have this figured out beforehand. If not: Make a broad list of niches your offer could serve. Send at least 10,000 emails for 3 months then look at who responds. 3. Deliverability Deliverability has 3 main parts: ▶️ Domain Buy & configure GoDaddy domains. - SPF record - DRIM Record - DMARC Record (Use EasyDmarc) Blacklisted? Stop sending emails, increase warming & wait for 30 days. ▶️ Mailbox For each domain, have 3 mailboxes max. For each mailbox, send 100 emails/day max. (50 warming, 50 cold) NEVER send 50+ cold emails from a mailbox. ▶️ Content Avoid spammy copy with Mailmeteor. The more basic the email is, the better. - No custom code ❌ - No images ❌ - No videos❌ 4. Lead Scraping Apollo is one of the best lead databases but expensive. TrustedLeads can scrape Apollo for several times cheaper. Just take Apollo’s filtered URL & paste it into TrustedLeads. 5. Personalization Instantly’s AI prompts let you customize 1 or 2 lines for each prospect. Good prompts to try: - Find & reference close competitor - Mention common industry pain point - Compliment company achievements 6. Launch & Scale There are 3 main stages of scale. Stage 1: Launching 🗣️ Test campaigns until you find a profitable strategy - then move on. - 10 Domains - 30 Mailboxes - 1000 Emails/day Setup Cost: $250-450 Stage 2: Mini-Scale ⚖️ Scale further while fixing bottlenecks & improving efficiency. - 30 Domains - 90 Mailboxes - 3500 Emails/day Cost: $500/mo Stage 3: Full Scale ⚖️⚖️⚖️ Create systems for growth & reinvest into the business. - 100+ Domains - 300+ Mailboxes - 12000+ Emails/day Cost: ~$1500/mo
