Wouldn't that be literally anything that doesn't go obsolete? Inflation.

Is there a way to CC someone, but the original email not go to them, but reply all then does? (alien.top)
 

I'm trying to find software or whatever that allows me to copy people on the email, but they not get the actual email unless the recipient clicks reply all.

​

Basically I want to email Jim and CC Bob

But I don't want Bob to get the email at all.

But if Jim hits reply all, then I want Bob and myself to get that reply and see the email string.

​

​

Long story short, I don't want Bob to know I emailed Jim, unless Jim replies all. It's perfectly ok if Jim sees Bob, and even assumes Bob got the email too.

The context is, Bob is paying me a sales commission if I get him new business. Jim is a potential buyer that I am emailing to tell him about Bob. However, I will be sending an email to a thousand or more Jims. (Another thing I need is the ideal software to do this) Which would normally also send the same thousand or more emails to Bob, that I don't want. I want Bob to only get responses from the Jims of the world who are actually interested in learning more. I don't want Bob to have my full email list.

And at least I would prefer that Bob took it from there and I not be involved. But not critical. If Jim replies to just me, I can reply all with Bob. Just trying to avoid this step.

​

Alternatively, can I spoof the email I send as me to have Bob's email instead of mine? My name, just Bob's email address. With Bob's permission of course.

Any help would be appreciated.

A comment about Adderall got the most responses in this post, who would have thunk it?

How much would you like to pay to get your product/service in front of 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100,000 new potential customers? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Get in front of potential customers? $0.

I don't trust for a second that any of whoever you would get in front of, would turn into an actual sale for any hope of an ROI.

If you believe otherwise, put your money where your mouth is and instead charge a commission on the sales you bring. Then, your cut could be thousands, tens of thousands if you found the right customer. And all you have to do is what you already said you would.

Don't operate that way? Why not, don't believe in your own service? Why should I?

I want to buy something that people can then rent. It would have to be profitable. Any ideas? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

The family business growing up was small engine and party rental.

My sister eventually started her own party rental business year later. And my cousins work for another party rental business.

Very hard to be successful. You need a lot of capital, and it takes a lot of time. Forget having weekends, you are working. Period. And not very profitable. If you are a solo person just getting some items to rent, not going to work.

​

One thing I used to do is rent out my camper. Actually worked really well. More than paid for itself, two, maybe three times over. But it's become very competitive these days as a ton of people do the same now. So a lot harder to get renters. But I have really enjoyed meeting the people and just being involved with people's fun time.
