discuss Outbounding - 2025 Edition

Seems anytime this topic gets brought up, always have some people pop into the thread posting clueless stuff about SPAM. Those posts will get reported. So to address that first, since a lot of domainers don't know what actual SPAM is:

"Spam email is unsolicited and unwanted junk email sent out in bulk to an indiscriminate recipient list. Typically, spam is sent for commercial purposes. It can be sent in massive volume by botnets, networks of infected computers."
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/email-security/what-is-spam.html

Let me define indiscriminate for you:

"done at random or without careful judgment."

Now if you did that, it would be considered SPAM

vs. how I would do it:

If I owned tennislessons.com and contacted the owners of tennis-lessons.com, tennislessons.info, tennislessonsbyjennifergardiner.com and said I have tennislessons.com for sale for xxxx, it's an upgrade to what they have now etc. there is nothing wrong with that.

That's targeted, not random and it's with careful judgment.

And of course I would follow CAN-SPAM in those emails.

Businesses reach out to other businesses all the time

Usually I let buyers come to me, this year I wanted to get agressive and reach out more to other businesses. I've tried it a few times before, last time probably over 5 years ago.

For those that do this now, any tips, tricks, sites to use, things to be aware of etc.

I have email accounts with the major places, have a couple [email protected] emails.

I have subscription to Estibot that comes with DomainLeads.com

There are some old email tracking threads, to track if/when your emails get opened. If you use those, what are the best, anything new.
