Email marketing should be your biggest moneymaker—but for too many businesses, it’s a time-sucking black hole of endless campaigns, bloated lists, and chaotic workflows. More effort doesn’t always mean more revenue.
The smartest brands are flipping the script: scaling back, cutting through the noise, and making every email count. They’re sending fewer, more strategic messages—and seeing bigger returns than ever.

Cold email gets a bad rap. People think it’s spammy, annoying, or ineffective. But here’s the reality—when done right, cold email is the single most powerful way to book meetings and land high-ticket clients.
I’ve used it to generate millions in revenue, and on this episode of Grow Your Video Business, I break down exactly how to write cold emails that get responses, avoid spam filters, and turn conversations into contracts. If you’re running a video business and need more leads, this is your playbook.
Key Takeaways:
- 📩 Replies matter more than meetings: Even a “no” improves domain health, keeping emails out of spam.
- 🎯 Cold email = advertising: Just like Facebook ads, success comes from consistency, not overnight wins.
- 💡 Offer value, not desperation: A “free video audit” gets more replies than “Let’s chat.” Give them a reason to engage.
- 🚀 The ultimate cold email formula: Hook early, state the problem, offer a solution, add proof, and close with a clear next step.
