How many looms per day would you recommend for loom outreach vs regular cold email?

I’d split your mailboxes: three dedicated to Loom outreach and six for regular cold email. This segregation protects deliverability—links in Loom emails can trigger spam, so isolating them prevents the whole stack from suffering. For example, send 10 Loom videos per day from each of the three accounts (30 Looms total) and 30 regular emails per day from each of the six accounts (180 total). In your Loom emails, include a link to the video and add a brief, personalized icebreaker—‘Hey, I love your stuff, been following you, I want to save you $20k this month’—and optionally a template in the description. You can hand this off to a teammate or have me do it end‑to‑end if you reply ‘yes’. The best CTA depends on what you’re selling; if you can send the item, showcase it in the Loom and link it in the description. Adding a second link doesn’t dramatically affect spam risk, but it’s worth testing.

How many of my daily cold emails should include a Loom video versus text or lead magnets?

Treat personalized video outreach as a separate campaign from your regular cold email. For the video campaign, gather prospects using Apollo or social‑media scrapers, then send customized DMs that reference specifics from their profiles or websites so it’s clearly not a template. Keep your standard cold email process distinct. Within that flow, I’d record a Loom video for about five to twenty prospects per day — enough to add a personal touch without overwhelming your workload — and run the video outreach alongside your usual cold email sequence.

Can you explain your advice on using Loom videos in cold emails and provide a demo?

Using Loom videos in cold emails works and can be effective, but it lowers deliverability because links and media trigger spam filters. You trade volume for personalization—send fewer, highly tailored emails with a Loom video that shows you’ve already built the asset, which creates a pattern break and raises perceived value. To compensate for lower deliverability, reduce volume or improve mailbox practices. It’s not fully scalable like pure text cold email, but it’s a valuable tactic when you need to stand out.

Can you show how to set up a cold email campaign with Loom videos for each outreach?

I don’t run a fully automated cold‑email system with Loom videos because it doesn’t scale well. Instead, I keep a simple Google sheet with columns for first name, last name, company, email, icebreaker, and a Loom link. I add each lead to the sheet, automate the icebreaker, then manually record a short Loom video (2‑4 minutes) for each prospect, talking about their specific needs. Sending 15 personalized videos takes about an hour of recording plus an hour to set up—so it’s doable but not highly scalable. The nuance is that customized Loom videos conflict with the goal of high‑volume automated outreach; the best approach is to do the recordings yourself when you want that level of personalization.

Nick, do you mind if I send a Loom video as my default cold email strategy?

The Loom video approach was terrible for me. My other approach was sending a lead magnet (a Google doc). To reconcile scale with customization, there are two approaches: low volume, high customization—sending a personalized Loom video that solves a problem, delivers value, and builds a warm connection to maybe 10‑30 people a day; and high volume, low result—blasting a generic “do you mind if I send you a Loom video?” to a million people and only recording when they reply. The latter is overdone and saturated; it’s not effective anymore.
