When creating a new freelance service what’s the best way to send cold emails?

Author: Jason Resnick June 5, 2018 Duration: 5:55
Whether you are creating a new freelance service or just starting out freelancing, remember that cold emails are the telemarketers of the inbox. No one has any need, time, or desire to read an email that’s all about someone else’s product or service that they never heard of. So when you do cold email, do it as a “you”-focused email and you’ll have a better chance of landing on that person’s radar.

Jason Resnick runs a web development and design business, and he’s heard all the questions that keep independent creators up at night. Twice a week, he opens up the inbox for Ask Rezzz, turning those real-world frustrations into practical, actionable advice. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to someone who's navigated the same tricky terrain. You'll hear Jason tackle the messy, everyday problems-like dealing with a perpetually late client, figuring out how to build a stable stream of recurring revenue, or shifting your practice to attract clients who truly value your work. The tone is straightforward and conversational, focusing on sustainable strategies over quick fixes. If you're building a creative business and find yourself feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this podcast offers a regular dose of clarity from someone who gets it. Each episode feels like a focused coaching session, designed to help you move past the hurdles and grow a business that respects your time and expertise.
