How I Built a Cold Email Machine for $200/Month

Let me tell you a story.

A few years ago, I was talking to a friend who ran a digital marketing agency. He was scaling fast, but there was a problem: his sales team was burning out. Cold calling was inefficient, paid ads were getting too expensive, and he knew that somewhere out there was a better solution.

So I asked him a question: “Why aren’t you doing cold emails?”

His response: “Doesn’t that just end up in spam?”

The next day, I was on a mission. Could I hack the system and build a machine that could send out hundreds of thousands of cold emails, all while staying out of spam filters and costing next to nothing?

Turns out, you can. And not only that—you can scale it. I did not make this up; I also copied some smart people and twerked some things to make it work more efficiently with AI tools.

Let me show you how I built a cold email machine that sends 100,000 emails for $200/month. And the best part? You can copy this exact copied process. 🌶️🐇🐇🌶️

The Email Goldmine: A $200 Playbook

Step 1: You Will Need a few Domains

If you’re sending cold emails from one domain, you’re doing it wrong. Spam filters will tear you apart. I figured out the trick: you buy dozens of domains (I used GoDaddy). You need them to distribute your sending load across all these domains so none of them get flagged as spam.

Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records (yeah, it sounds technical, but it’s necessary to keep your emails from being thrown in the trash). If you do not know how, just ask ChatGPT to help. Now, you have a little email empire to play with.

Step 2: Get the Right Inboxes

Next, you will needed email inboxes. I didn’t just want to use some free Gmail accounts—I needed inboxes that looked legitimate. So, I bought 20 Microsoft 365 accounts (about $9 each). Now, here’s where the numbers game comes in.

Each inbox can safely send about 30 cold emails per day without triggering alarms. Multiply that by 20 inboxes and—boom—you’re sending 600 emails a day. That’s over 18,000 emails a month with basically no risk.

Step 3: Automate With AI Tools

I didn’t have time to manually send 18,000 emails every month, so I turned to AI.

SmartLead and InstantAI are game-changers. These tools warm up your domains over 20-30 days, making sure your emails land in the inbox, not spam. They also automate the sending process, so once you’re ready, you’re sending thousands of emails daily without lifting a finger.

Step 4: Finding the Perfect Leads

So, where do you find all these people to email? Good question. I started using Hunter.io to scrape emails from company websites—targeting a specific industry. It is a bit pricy, and there are a lot of junk emails, but it is still worth it. Then, I got a bit more creative: Google Maps Scraping with Python. I literally pulled emails from businesses listed on Google Maps. If you are not handy at Python just hire someone on Fiverr. They’ll scrape, research, whatever you need to build that list. And it will cost $200-300.

Step 5: Clean Your List

Here’s the thing: not all emails are created equal. Bad emails hurt your sender reputation and waste time. So, I used ZeroBounce to clean my email list. This made sure I was only sending to valid emails. ZeroBounce incorporates AI in its email validation and deliverability services. It uses a combination of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence to analyze email addresses and predict their validity.

Step 6: Writing the Emails That Get Opened

You’ve probably heard this a million times: “Subject lines matter.” It’s true. A good subject line is like a golden key—if it sucks, no one opens your email.

For example, when I targeted HVAC companies, I sent emails with subject lines like:
“We helped XX company increase HVAC bookings by 25%—here’s how.”

Inside the email, I kept it simple:

• First email: “Hey, we’ve helped similar businesses like yours. I’d love to show you how we could do the same for you.”

• Second email: “We worked with [competitor], and here’s the revenue boost they saw.”

• Third email: “Let’s jump on a call for 10 minutes. If you don’t see the value, I’ll leave you alone.”

Three emails, short and sweet. No fluff. And guess what? People respond. Because no one wants to miss out on a good offer. Just make it a no-brainer!🥳🥳

The Results? One Client Paid for the Whole Thing.

I’ll be honest with you—it wasn’t long before I got some real traction. After sending a few thousand emails, I booked a call with a small HVAC company that needed help with Google Ads. And HVAC market is something I am trying to get into for some time now.

They signed a deal for $1,500/month. Boom. That one client paid for my entire cold email system for several months. And I still had 99,000 more emails to find customers.

You’ll be in the inbox of thousands of potential clients without breaking the bank or wasting your time. That’s leverage. That’s scaling.
