If you’re not using AI to automate your outreach, you’re leaving money on the table.

Let’s get one thing straight: cold email isn’t dead. But if you’re still using outdated tactics, you might as well be shouting into the void.

I joined Ingram Interactive to break down exactly what works. Google’s 2023 crackdown changed the game—old-school bulk email tactics? Gone. AI-generated spam? Trash. Sending from your main domain? Say goodbye to your inbox.

But if you follow the right system—proper domain setup, high-level AI personalization, and strategic outreach—you can fill your calendar with qualified leads.

In this episode, I break down the new cold email playbook, including my top tricks to increase replies, avoid spam filters, and automate outreach without losing that human touch.

If your email strategy isn’t working, this is why—and here’s how to fix it.

Key Takeaways:

  • 📬 Domain health is everything: Sending bulk emails from your main domain destroys deliverability—use alternate domains to protect your business (9:59).

  • 🤖 AI can help (or hurt) you: Used right, AI can boost open rates—used wrong, it makes your emails feel robotic and spammy (21:07).

  • 💡 Personalization wins deals: Tools like Clay.ai make your emails feel handwritten and can 2-3x response rates without extra effort (17:45).

  • ⚡ My #1 cold email hack: Adding a charity donation per reply triples response rates and helps avoid spam filters (28:09).

Relying on one platform for your audience is a disaster waiting to happen. Just ask the TikTok creators who lost everything overnight.

In You Should Build an Email List Right Now (This Is How I’m Doing It), Aurelius Tjin explains why owning your audience through email is non-negotiable in 2025.

Unlike social media, an email list is yours forever—no algorithm changes, no sudden bans, no platform shutdowns. It’s also one of the highest-ROI marketing channels, with direct access to engaged subscribers who are far more likely to convert into buyers.

This video walks through the exact steps to build and grow your email list, including organic growth strategies, essential tools, and how to automate email marketing for maximum impact.

If you're not collecting emails, you're missing out on future-proofing your business.

Key Takeaways:

  • 📬 Social media isn’t reliable: TikTok’s recent ban showed why owning your audience through email is crucial for long-term success (0:00).

  • 💰 Email lists drive sales: Even a small list of 1,000 subscribers can generate $1,000+ per email with the right strategy (3:35).

  • 🔗 Organic growth works: Leveraging YouTube, Instagram, and website links can build a highly engaged email list—without paid ads (5:09).

  • ⚡ Automation saves time: AI-powered tools like Omnisend streamline email collection, segmentation, and follow-ups for effortless engagement (15:24).

My Last $.02

This isn’t just about sending better emails—it’s about winning the long game.

Most people give up on email because they get ignored, hit spam folders, or rely too much on platforms they don’t own. The ones who win? They adapt, optimize, and build a direct line to their audience.

This isn’t a guessing game. The blueprint is here—are you ready to use it?

Until next time, happy emailing!
