Writing cold emails is super power #131

Here's how it changed my life

Jul 19, 2024

I work at Hive School, which is India’s First Sales School. I also create content on my YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.

Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

I have been on Twitter for almost 4 years now. The most I have used it for is to DM people and connect with some cool folks and it has changed my life.

I read a great point in one of

Riten (Fueler.io)

’s newsletters. It was about writing cold emails. Here’s what he said:

I have written a lot of Twitter DMs. It was back in 2020 when I joined Twitter. Since then I have spoken to many people over DMs and online calls. It was the time I learned how to block someone’s calendars.

Whomever I found interesting, I DMed them with my intro and intention for the message. Mostly, it was regarding what they were building or something they wrote or something they spoke or just wanted to get on a call to learn from them and be friends. Many times, I just got 1 or 2 line answers or just wanted to talk in DMs. But with some, I got on a call.

I learned a lot from them. I got to learn about the field they were in or just general stuff. What helped me gain trust in the first place was I was about to start my YouTube channel or was running my YouTube channel (and later newsletter). It kind of got me leverage that I was building something and the other person wanted to talk to me about it.

Cold Emails are also good. Nowadays, I reply to the newsletters in my inbox. I just appreciate the writer. It helps me to get in the writer’s spotlight. I might just get a one-word or a-line reply, but that’s okay.

If you are new to DMing or emailing, just be straight and don’t beat around the bush. Be curious and talk/ask meaningful things. Try to learn from the other person.

I am always up for talking to the readers of my newsletter. You can DM me on Twitter/ LinkedIn or email me at aninquisitivestoryteller@gmail.com.
