email outreach/deliverability question. i've got two domains: superfantastictoys.com and superfantasticgoods.com "toys" is my primary for the shop and where i've been sending email from for the past year (order confirmation, support, newsletters). "goods" is what I started using about a month ago specifically for wholesale cold emailing. it's been "warmed" (through Instantly) and i've sent a few hundred emails from it with what I'd say are okay response rates (~5%). but i've definitely been getting reports of those emails going to spam (while i don't get many reports of the "toys" emails going to spam). so, the question: given my cold email volume is pretty low (10-20 emails a day), should I switch my cold email outreach to just come from the "toys" domain that's got more history and better deliverability?

Chris Camillo reveals how people are making $500K/year being an "AI guy" for small businesses "There are millions of small businesses out there and almost none of them are willing to embrace AI right now, you just walk in and say give me one area where you're leaking money, I'll fix it for free" "Within days you've set up an AI agent answering their calls, sending responses, getting quotes out in real time… and you just increased their revenue by 5 to 15% at essentially no cost" "Now you're invaluable. They're paying you $2,000 or $3,000 a month to be their AI guy, you replicate that across 10 or 20 businesses and you're making half a million a year"

All the tax savings I got from using a s-corp went to my accountant.
