Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed
#For sale: Ads that look like legit Reddit user posts
“We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden. We find that humans don’t usually type out full URLs in natural conversation and plus, most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search,” ReplyGuy’s website reads.
I was in a sales meeting and they hired some expert to teach them how to write good emails. I had been doing some cold emails to customers and my response rate was through the roof, so they asked me how I did it. I said “Well, I kept it short and sounded like a person who wanted to help them out.”
This blew the sales goons’ minds. They thought you needed a bunch of buzzwords and calls to action to get a response, but people get that shit so much they immediately turn off. But when they get an email that says “Hey, I see you use our product. I’d love to show you some tips to help you out. Click this link and grab some time on my calendar” they don’t.
It should not require any industry knowledge to decipher those kinds of communications. People think they’ll never get an opportunity to dazzle the potential customer with their knowledge, when the entire discussion kind of assumes you know what you’re talking about. It’s always felt like it’s more in service of the sales person than anything else when people write like that lol
