What Are Cold Emails?
Cold emails are the emails you send to customers or clients who have no previous relationship with you. Marketers use them to sell a product or service to another business or client.
Unlike cold calls, cold email campaigns can be completely automated and run on a much larger scale. It’s an excellent way to sell your freelance services online.
An email campaign mimics the activity of a junior sales rep, who reaches out to prospects and follows up if they don’t respond.
In this video, I’ve explained the concept of cold email marketing in detail.
How to Sell Your Services With Cold Emails
Sending cold emails is an excellent way to sell your services and promote your Fiverr gigs. You can do it even if you are on other freelance platforms like Upwork or PeoplePerHour. First, collect email addresses, verify them, and send bulk emails using converting templates.
1. Collect Email Addresses
Collecting email addresses is the first and most important step to start your email campaign. There are two major ways to do so:
1. Email Scraping
2. Content Marketing
Let’s discuss them one by one now.
Scrape Emails from YouTube
Search for the relevant channels on YouTube, go to their about section, and click on “View Email Address”. There you have it. For example, if you go to my YouTube channel’s about section, you can hover over to the ‘Details’ section to get the email address.
Use Google to Scrape Email Addresses
If you sell ‘SEO’ services, go to Google and search for emails relevant to SEO. But how do you do it? Enter “SEO” in the search bar, followed by “@gmail.com” or “domain.com”. Now Google will show you the results containing emails.
Make sure your search results are set to 100 in the search settings. By using this method, you won’t have to keep clicking the next pages.
Copy all the result pages from Google and paste them into my free email extraction tool here. After a few moments, you’ll see the extracted emails on the right side of the page.
Or else, you can search for email extracting extensions on Chrome Web Store if you use Google Chrome.
Search for Email Address on Websites
Searching for websites related to your services to grab their email addresses is also awesome. All you need to do is to visit a website and explore its contact page. The easiest way to do so is to use an email lookup service like Hunter.
But it’s a paid tool. If you’re tight on budget, you can use services like Clearbit Connect, RocketReach, and many more.
Use Content Marketing
You can collect email addresses using content marketing techniques. Make use of lead magnets to grab email addresses. What is a lead magnet? Marketers provide lead magnets as incentives in exchange for the buyers’ email addresses or other contact information.
In general, lead magnets are downloadable content. They may be an ebook, whitepaper, or even a video. This is how you generate leads. Watch my video if you want to learn about prospecting and lead generation in detail:
