I get so many cold emails, here is what I wish every one of those people understood before emailing me.

- ensure you've been to and read my website (like I don't need help with my website if I make websites myself)

- check me out online to understand what I may need help with (while not everyone will post publicly about that, if someone needs help, and you can offer that help, then email mentioning where you saw that post and how you can help)

- I've found very few people actually enjoy getting "bumping this to the top of your inbox" from cold email senders. If your first email didn't make enough of an impact to get me to reply, then don't bother sending me a reply

- email me from your domain so I can check out your stuff on my own terms (while many people do appreciate a link to book time on someone's calendar, if you use your own domain then I can clearly go check out what you are offering)
