How to Improve Your Email Outreach Effectiveness

Scale What Your Can

If you find yourself cringing at the thought that any part of an email outreach campaign should or can be scaled or automated, you haven’t probably done enough of them.

Perhaps, you can afford to handle everything through copy-pasting your contact and typing a new message if you do 10-20 emails a day. And you can probably do manual follow-ups by finding all those emails in your “Sent” folder and seeing which ones had no response.

But let’s face it, even if you do get one link from that effort, it will not make much difference as far as your site traffic or rankings are concerned.

If you really need results, you’ll have to send hundreds of emails and you may find yourself looking for a person (or several people) to help you with some parts of that process.
