last month I struggled with the same, ended up using rotating proxies with a session handler in requests. Switching user-agent headers helps but don't rely on it alone, keep changing IPs too. Just make sure you're not hitting too many requests from the same proxy in a short time.

Careful with trusting the hype, most of those big proxy providers overpromise and underdeliver, especially with google. The IP pool quality and rotation are king, not the price tag.

careful with ROI claims, sometimes those numbers look better before fees, gotta really track net profit not just revenue. native can be a grind for small spends, yeah, but don't write it off just yet.

just my 2 cents, do you think those black hat tricks are really worth the risk long term or just a quick thrill? kinda feels like playing with fire, no?

lol yep

can confirm.

20 bucks a year for a VPN? Sounds tempting till you factor in the time spent messing with the VPS, updates, configs, and all the little issues that pop up. That cheap VPS might seem like a win, but imo it's just a ticking time bomb for headaches and hidden costs.

Different angle: sometimes just being nice and asking for feedback or advice can open doors more than pushing volume. AMs respect effort, not just numbers. A little genuine relationship building can go a long way.

Been doing this 3 years, and honestly VPN apps are way more convenient for most people but yeah, they can sacrifice some control. Sometimes I just want that blanket router protection but for daily use, apps are enough, afaik

came here to say exactly this

just my 2 cents, I used reply.io for cold outreach and it helped me a lot. had decent reply rates and their multi-channel stuff makes it less random. kinda surprised how much a good sequence can change the game

Around 70% of VPNs claim to have dedicated IPs but actually don't, so gotta be skeptical of the "success stories" unless they show the real setup and configs.

Manual cleanup works but only if u can actually identify which links r toxic. most of the time I see ppl disavow blindly and end up losing legit juice. how do u decide which links r worth the effort?

tbh haha, yeah, free proxies are kinda like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get. But sometimes you find a decent free one that's not total sketch. Just gotta be careful and test them a bit before trusting them with anything sensitive

honestly yeah, pretty much. if u don't mind configs, router VPN can be nice for covering everything without installing on each device. but if u want quick setup and flexibility, app wins. I switched to apps mainly cause router was a pain to update and troubleshoot.

Been doing this 3 years and honestly pop/redirect still works but in kinda different ways now. They ain't dead just more tricky to scale without getting slammed by adblockers or browsers. Still seeing some niche angles that get decent CPMs if you're smart about it.

Careful with the idea that HARO is dead or slow only cause of templates. I've seen ppl get decent links with 10-15% response rates but it takes ages to build up. ROI can be like 2-3x if you play it right but yeah, long game for most. Think most folks just give up too quick or use lazy pitches.

bruh, exactly. most of these VPNs are just fancy obfuscation, not real security. speed and privacy claims are mostly bs, esp in China.

the real answer right here

"HARO/Connectively - Stop Chasing Experts, Start Being The Source" - one thing I learned is that consistently creating content that answers common questions or pain points gets you noticed faster. I saw a 30% increase in outreach replies just by publishing weekly tips on my niche. No need to...
