Your Cold Email Process Rundown??

by Shan P
3 replies
I'm not tech savvy at all. I just followed standard cold email advice from a course. Took me WEEKS to set up the email tech stuff (DKIM etc). Pain in the a$$.

After all that --- 20% of emails are going to spam in the warm up phase itself!!
Disappointing

**Anyone have a link to an up-to-date detailed strategy for cold email?

** Or could you please explain your step-by-step process in this thread?

--- the right way to warm up
--- type of domain names to use
--- how many emails to send a day
etc. etc.

    Subject lines are a common problem so make sure you look at alternative advice on this apart from the course you took.
    Email is getting tighter in terms of peoples privacy and so on. Cold emails are hard because they haven't given you permission to email them. Do you have a method set up to capture peoples email addresses anywhere, like a free download for email address? Then they're not cold emails and you have a better chance of them not ending up in spam.

    All new domains are blacklisted for the first 30 days, so wait until after that to start posting.

    Yes, you have to sort out DKIM etc. before you start.

    Words used in the subject-line, and, to a lesser extent in the body, can increase the chances of the email being marked as "spam" . . . such words include "free", "million", etc.

    The email body should be about a page long, or more, for good results.

    One of the most important parts of emailing is the list you're emailing to . . . make sure it is cleaned, fresh and very well targeted.

    And be aware that different autoresponders are designed for different uses, and won't work well for anything else. For example, MailChimp is designed for e-commerce, so using it for the kind of internet marketing this forum focuses on, is likely to get poor results.

    There are paid tools which will check these things . . . I know InBoxPath checks your DKIM etc. every day, check your subject and body for words you should avoid, clean your list etc.

    Hope that helps!

    Chris
