What are you pitching in the profitable AI agency cold email campaign?
Sure thing. I'm pitching a profitable AI agency cold email campaign that I can walk through in about 40 minutes. I have videos of me selling inside Maker School if you want to see them. I've tried posting those sales videos on this channel before, but I got veiled legal threats from people on sales calls telling me to take them down. It's weird, but funny story: I had dinner with a buddy who posts full sales calls live, and we talked about outreach. I do mostly outbound, so the clients I talk to don't know about my YouTube channel. If they did know about it, I'd be clear: if you want to move forward, I can give you a discount on XYZ service, assuming you're okay with me posting the call, and I'd censor all sensitive info. That would actually give you extra clout, authority, and visibility. Would you be game? Yeah, I think we could do that. So stay tuned for more of that.
Running a faceless agency challenge video presents significant practical and legal issues. In past attempts to publicly share real outreach, sales calls, and Loom videos, clients requested content removal over privacy concerns under threat of legal action.
Furthermore, platforms like Upwork require official identity verification with a face, and prospects who research service providers after a sales call inevitably find the creator's main YouTube channel, which skews the validity of the experiment.
From a business perspective, the ROI of spending hundreds of hours conducting cold outreach for a single challenge video is low compared to creating structured, deep course content that provides long-term value to students.
If you're using Facebook for this, it's essentially game over--Facebook DMs are extremely difficult, limited to about 10 messages per day per account, and you'll quickly end up in message requests. By contrast, a cold email account lets you send 25-30 emails daily and costs only $2-$4 per month, whereas a Facebook account runs around $50 per month due to verification overhead. Therefore, you need an intermediate step to obtain their email addresses, then conduct cold email outreach. Calling is also effective, especially for towing businesses that are often on the road; you can't reliably email auto shops, so walking in or calling works. This approach isn't perfect, but it's workable. Regarding my own situation: I've realized I need to set up ads. Yesterday I hung out with Jackie Chu in Vancouver, who's now ranking for businessman and is a brilliant guy--I plan to send him a message. I also met Tom Wang, who's really cool, and Tony, founder of Bessie. Their advice was to run retargeting ads from Maker School; they said not doing so would be idiotic. I agree and will implement that, with help from my team and the school. My strategy is to list the problems my community faces, pick five or ten, and record a video addressing each. The videos will reiterate that Maker School is 100% free if you don't land your first client within 90 days, with a full refund. We also have $20,000 in discounts; most people use about 10%, giving roughly $2,000 off, which means a new member gets an immediate 10x ROI in the first month before even getting a client--so there's no reason not to join. I'll track video completion percentages to gather more data. My offer is strong and the product quality is high, so I'll put it in front of as many people as possible. I'm also excited that a friend is onboarding people for Claro, and I'll meet school guys later today for a coffee-shop flyover activity and other fun. Overall, I'm amped up about everything happening, and I believe ads could unlock insane growth if executed well. As for my channel stats: my main YouTube channel currently shows 471,066 subscribers, which is abysmal growth; other metrics indicate decent growth elsewhere--my paid offer has 7,234 sales, my Maker School rank is still two, and we're making good money, though subscriber growth isn't what I expected because I'm not creating viral head-type videos. I'll keep growing at a steady clip and hope to reach 500k subscribers by year-end.

Very interesting question. I think your issue is you are attempting to find leverage where it probably doesn't make sense. Why not just record your ads yourself? If you're going to go through the process of scripting them and stuff like that, just record a video of you saying it. You're trying to make your team seem larger. Actually, there's a tremendous amount of value in consolidating that team into one public-facing person. If they like, you know, a piece of content that they watch with you, then when they see an ad of you in their feed, you'll get significantly lower CPMs. So, I think you're just trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. What are you planning on doing? Spinning up 4,000 AI avatars talking about all different types of of services and whatnot? No, I mean, if you're here on my channel asking me that question, you probably don't have the ad budget. So, don't worry about that at all. Just do it yourself. I don't know if you've noticed, but I do all my videos entirely myself. I also do all my ads entirely myself. And the reason why is because this is the most important part of my business. It is the top of my funnel. It is the step that every single person that ever gives me any money needs to go through before they eventually get to the point where they transform into a paying customer or client. If you think about it that way, you'll realize that there is no point in trying to save money at this stage. You should focus entirely on growing, not saving. And all AI agents or AI ad avatars and UGCs things can do for you at that stage is typically save.
