My solution after the carnage:

• Switched from legacy panels to Google Partner reseller accounts (Indian partners at $2-3/mo)
• Added Microsoft 365 mailboxes to diversify risk
• Partnered with Mission Inbox for private SMTP ($5/mo vs $9/mo retail)

Diversification = survival in cold email.

The problem: Most cold emailers use "cheap" Google mailboxes ($3/month or less).

They don't know these come from 2 sources:
• Legacy Google Panels (nonprofits/edu accounts)
• Indian reseller partners

Google just started nuking legacy panels. Thousands of mailboxes gone overnight.

The problem: Starting a business usually means:

• $3K+ for branding agencies
• Weeks waiting on designers
• Expensive revisions
• Outsourcing everything

Most entrepreneurs burn cash before making a dollar.

There's a better way using AI automation.

I built my entire AI consulting brand—NextWave.io—using mostly FREE AI tools.

The problem: Every time a lead replies "interested" to your cold emails in Instantly, you need them in your CRM for follow-up.

Most people use Zapier but it burns through credits fast and costs add up with high volume.

There's a better way using native webhooks.

leadgenjay.bsky.social @leadgenjay.bsky.social · 11d

I saved $200/month by ditching Zapier and connecting Instantly AI directly to GoHighLevel CRM.

Zero integration costs. Full automation. Takes 10 minutes to set up.

The problem: Cold email domains getting flagged because registrars like GoDaddy and NameCheap expose your domain identity.

Most people pay premium prices for DNS management and still get terrible deliverability.

Cloudflare changes everything.

leadgenjay.bsky.social @leadgenjay.bsky.social · 14d

I moved 1,000+ cold email domains to Cloudflare and fixed our spam issues in 48 hours.

Deliverability jumped 40%+ and it cost $0.

The problem: I was drowning in applications.

Spending 10+ hours/week reviewing resumes, comparing candidates, and trying to stay objective.

Most hiring tools are clunky, expensive, and still require tons of manual work.

I needed a system that actually worked.
