Im 21M, Ive been having for around 6 months this nerve pain on the side of my lower stomach at my waist. I sometime see the green nerve through my skin and it hurts when I touch it.

It happens occasionally triggered by eating, it is a weak burning pain that hurts more if I push on that area, mostly right sided.

The reason im asking here is that Im alwayss gassy, everyday, I also poop quite a lot, like 4 or 5 times daily, mostly somewhat diarrhea late at night and normally in the morning.

Im not suffering from it neither gave it too much thought, I want to diet better but would love to see if someone had similar issues before

Im also noticing a lot of white bits in the stool, near daily, like fat or unabsorbed food, and Im bloated every single day after food even if I ate just a bit

My account got banned for abusing the API, I stopped it and tried to make new one but it got banned, I want an old account. If anyone has any account (without or with subscription) just a no subscription old account. I'm willing to pay whatever it is the asking.

Thank youu

Hi, I lead a Lead Generation agency based in the US and we specialize in the SaaS space.

If you are interested kindly DM, we can set up 15m next week to discuss further.

Which is the better option?

What does an agency do anyways? Does it buy links and write content?

Hi everyone! just browsing here and already learning a lot.

I need a general well directed first step to take, I'm a total noob in SEO and want to get started with my agency's site. I'm using wordpress "posts"

I want to know any recommended content creator with actual working tips to follow? How would you start learning SEO with all your current knowledge today, from totally nothing?

I have a few questions for example:

1. I write the article in my voice, afterwards, do I use AI to correct my grammer and tone? is there any good service for such to use, or do I keep it raw? I worry of my spelling and content flow.

I would appreciate any help, getting lost on where to get started. Looking to write like 2 posts a week. My website is amrico . net

Hi, I would like to ask what is the best way to register a SaaS as a person not from the US? Something that can grant you the payment provider access that you will link to the app. Which is stripe if im not mistaken?

I really hesitated to post this, and I didn't want to use any AI for this post, it is a long one and the context matters, get a cup of coffee and sit back and relax. I also get a lot of people asking how to get started with lead generation, I hope this helps in some way, since my start wasn't smooth.

To start out with some context, I wanted to be in this AI boom, I REALLY wanted to, I back then was in my final year of Uni (Finance) and dealt in the Art space and had a few failed projects in my name, what matters is I had no money what so ever, a bit of a background experience.

I watched a lot of youtube videos about AI agencies, naturally it took me to n8n, since it is youtube and n8n was a big thing. I don't know anything about coding and I really hate coding, I still hate it even though I became one of the top developers and yet to know how to code, later on that.

During that period I had my internship, a fake one to be exact, a family connection company, I did nothing in that time, but what was helpful is that I stumbled into a video of n8n personalization, I watched the video and had the thought that this looks helpful, I fell into the personalization rabbit hole and turns out it was for something called cold email, (it is for cold outreach in general but that was my thought back then). Note that that was the first time I hear of cold emailing, I never had a business domain before and never got cold emailed before, I didn't really grasp it is a business before that.

I really liked the idea, I thought that it was really smart, I thought also that it is a small market and later opening a cold email agency would make me stand out, I didn't do any research at all, I didn't even know was many cold email agencies, good thing I didn't since the market has room for everyone.

I wanted to learn more, and I found nothing on youtube at the time, literally just videos teaching you about inboxes and selling their tool, all using the same info. No info about outbound agencies, reply handling, actual copy writing or how to get clients, or how does it work and general use cases in different spaces. The only thing I found wa a course of a youtuber who was real fishy
Note that I really really hate courses, and think all of them are a scam, especially since I used to trade forex and indices at 18-20 and know how every other day a course pops up, I never in my life bought a course, neither thought I will. This desperation of lack of knowledge really got me to join a skool community for $150 dollars, this was the first time I buy a course and $150 was a big number to me.

Ended up a very good decision, the course and video in it was some bs basic stuff from chatgpt, he taught some copywriting with chatgpt that doesn't work (I ofcourse thought it did). BUT the community was helpful, it had a lot of people posting and some of them where actually within the stages of talking to clients and sending to different people and posting results and asking questions. This first gave me the confidence of I'm not alone and this is achievable, second, it gave me a idea of how agencies run and talk and common issues and so on.

So before launching a cold email agency, what you need to learn is how to get results with cold email?? I thought my videos and my reading and so on will work right away, I thought I knew a lot, I picked a niche as the course said, I picked recruitment at the time, I was trying to do free work to build case studies, made a simple landing page and shot my first "Ultra-Personlised" campaign.

Just realized this is too long for a reddit post and I'm ranting more of helping, so to skip, for the next whole 5 month of absolute failure, literally everything didn't work, I tried so many verticals, so many lead sources, so many ICP’s, no results, even the negative replies where bad, I don't know how to explain it, I posted in the skool and got advice, applied it and it didnt work, I see some people posting their copy and trying it, didnt work, so like what the actual fuck was I doing wrong.
Note that this period was the most important, and most of my knowledge till this day comes from all those failure campaigns and bad personalization and copies and mindset I had, since you learn from mistakes more than from success.

At the same time during that period, I wasn't really good in sales, I wasn't even selling any paintings, low on money, my other side business also failed, and I was spending like $120 a month on infra, which was a lot, especially since I was just paying on rage baiting myself this would work. I also got scammed with inboxes 3 times, with 2 month wait time thinking I was delivering when it went to spam haha.

Then what changed after 5 months, is I started thinking. Yes i know it sounds dumb but that is what happened, I started actually thinking like the recipient of the emails? like actually why are they not replying?
I quickly came into the conclusion of how salsey and that no actual email is that way, I especially got inspiration from my art dealers contacts and how we actually email each other and how a first email from a dealer is written to me.
Applied my thoughts of when I reply and when I don't reply.

Long story short I use to write those 30-50 words “quick question” and “saw you did X at Y” emails for all my failure. My new revelation ended up writing a copy with 100 words+ and less personalization to almost no personalization at all, just casually writing like a human reaching out.

And that split test got 2 positive replies. oh my god how good they felt, none of them replied to my reply, but getting that “send more info” was such a good thing, especially since its the first time I get a positive reply, I also noticed even the negative replies got better, got from “fuck off” to “no thanks”, “not interested, not in the situation…” and so on, this is where I learned that negative replies matter as much as positive replies.

If I told you the copies I wrote in those few first 5 months you would die laughing, I had a campaign acting like a broke university student, I had one intentionally writing typos (I know you all tried that one). I remember this one especially since I remember I got caught with a guy calling it out.

This is when I knew cold emailing is not bs, and the time and money I spent the last 5 months are not bs. I was excited and knew the approach I did was correct, I just have to iterating on it, and iterate I did.

I remember how I flexed the positive reply email notification to my brother in the elevator explaining that my idea works, mainly cuz he was making fun that I spent 150 dollars on a course for the past few months. Just so you know I left the skool community after the first month, I recorded all videos and downloaded all docs and resources before the period ended since I didnt want to spend my 150 dollars on another month, but the course was so worth it and I plan to actually go back inside the skool community to give special thanks and a fuck you message at the same time. I actually got some good voucher codes that in total saved me over what I spend ont he course just from the skool community posts people posted.

I knew how important sales calls are and Im actually not bad at all when Im not selling cold outreach services, I mean I talked to strangers a lot, I had a share of calls with no camera on in the art space, but that was different since at that stage and note this “ I was bad in calls since I didn’t trust what I'm pitching” I lied a bunch to be honest, but inside I knew i was bullshitting, so my words wasn't confident, i stuttered, and overall was really really bad, I listen to my voice recordings I recorded on my phone of my first sales calls to get a laugh. I first blamed my accent since English is my second language.

Now here I realized that I ended up from struggling to get replies to struggling to close, and here I wasn't upset about it, I was actually really happy, since I used to pray to get this headache of sales calls, since back then all i wanted to do is reach this phase, and now I did, even though I was stuck in it, I was still in it.

So I did what any rational person would so, found out why I was doing bad, practiced speaking by putting a pencil in my mouth and reading out load, saw this on instagram, I stopped it as fast as I tried it. And really found the top factors of getting a no or a “send me a proposal and I will review it”. I came to the conclusion they are 1. No case studies, 2. Im awkward as fuck and clearly was reading from a script 3. Website was trash 4. No case studies

So I started to address the no case studies point and website, a guy had case studies on his website and I got the permission to reference a client of his he knew well and that if someone messaged his client he will tell him to vouch for me, he also allowed me to mention the results of the case study by saying it was with partnering with his agency that the results were achieved. Yes I know some of you will comment about it but fuck it this is how I made it work at first.

Turns out if you want to do free work, you also had to have experience, companies wont accept free work from a guy with no experience, especially in a space where you send emails as if you are the company itself. The case studies bypassed this issue, and the biggest issue it fixed is my low confidence, with the case studies, I puffed my chest and spoke confidently knowing cold email did that. The confident boost helped me a lot without actually realizing it until now that I'm writing this post.

Now after you get a yes to do a POC for a e-commerce company what do you do??
YOU DONT DO IT, ecommerce b2b is a trash industry and you have to face it, some industries aren’t good for cold email. I was so unlucky for my first actually company cold email campaigns for it to be a ecommerce platform provider targeting ecommerce websites, and if someone tried it he knows what I mean, surprisingly, I ended up doing 7 campaigns, got 2 actual prospects for the poc, never converted him to a client since all those prospects were interested at a later date so had nothing to show at the time, this phase took 1 month of my time by the way.

At the time I thought I was bad at cold emailing, to note, I was getting a lot of replies but non positive. I finally was working with a company for free, but turns out I cant deliver, and here it took me to my hardest phase. I felt like a scammer hahahaha. I was selling something I cant deliver, I truly felt like a scammer.

To save some time, I decided to move one since a guy told me, "maturing in cold email is realizing that some clients will fail because the ICP and product in nature doesn't sell with cold emails".

I afterwards did a POC to a SaaS company whos target was in the education sector, and I got some amazing results. That where it all started.
He didn't become a paying client but that was the first real case study and referral.

Now after a lot of time, I vibe coded one of the top actors used in lead generation, I'm the sales growth advisor to a large SaaS company, I have 2 active full-service lead generation clients (I can only handle 3 at a time) and looking to expand by hiring employees and taking more clients next quarter. Overall this worked.

My one suggestion would be.

1. Be honest, don't lie, say you are not confident if you are not, don't take clients in industries you cant deliver in.

My Thursday writing is over, if you reached here then you really got a lot of free time. I know some people consider cold email a spamming tool, I don't fully disagree, I have build a career out of it and once you get good at it, your emails wont even be considered spam to the recipient, and if it was I would get sued, there is a way to make it work professionally without writing like a spammer.
