Hey I'm looking to start recruiting a lot of people very soon. I'm probably going to try sending anonymous emails to people (like in the show) and also put up fliers around town. However for the emails I want to try writing something that will lure people in. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can put in the email?
for emails don't try to make it sound like a ad. The fliers are probably a bad idea because then we wouldn't have the advantage of being invisible, plus we would lose more of the ability of filtering the good from the bad for members.
... um. Could you please *not* get the site link blacklisted by every email spam filter in existence? Seriously.
If you decide to do this, don't send it to a bunch of people at once or anything. Like keep it to < 100 people a week and try not to be a dick about it. Use the QR code without mentioning the site name or link anywhere if possible. If there are a bunch of reports about spam coming from this website, email providers will start filtering any emails that come in with links to it as spam, and it'll mess up those working with similar ideas in smaller numbers ,_,
Don't worry, I wasn't planning on doing that at all. In the real world I know a lot of people and there's only a handful of them I'd invite to the Dollars via email.
I'm actually intrigued by Bambi's idea. But I feel like you should send it to less people, maybe between numbers 10 - 50. So of course to avoid any spam and to catch their attention the subject should be like "Don't you think the world is boring ^-^???" Use text emoji as well! To make it seem mysterious, and then the main email could be "You should join in on the fun too!" And then link them with "WELCOME"
There are also email marketing services that ensure that your mass emails aren't marked off as spam by most spam filters by including an opt-out button and thus following that major guideline.
If you do decide to go that far, that is. But as OP mentioned, he's really only gonna invite a few people.
