I will send my first email to my subcribers.

14 replies
I got almost 1000 subscribers now. I will send my first email to them to promote a product, what's the best way to send mass email to them? Should I just send by using BBC field with my own domain's email? What if lots of emails go to the spam box?

Edit on 31st october 2017: I just tried mailchimp and it's like a miracle, I fell in love with it!

How could I not try this kind of great service so far in my 7 years of internet marketing and programming career.

    You could try an email autoresponder / list management software like mailchimp or aweber?

    If what I said helps, let me know, throw me a 'thanks'.

    Odds are most of those BBC will be flagged as spam.

    [ USE AN AUTORESPONDER! DONT SEND DIRECTLY FOR ANY REASON! ]

    Choose an autoresponder. Like Sendlane or ActiveCampaign or Getresponse (which is more intuitive).

    WHY?

    Cause if u send to them directly you'll be flagged as spammer and blacklisted.

    Personal Emails are not for mass-mailing purpose nor for marketing purpose.

    For this purpose, there are Autoresponders.

    Try to send before some nurture mails: give content and create relationship.
    Dont overwhelmed your subscribers with promo emails.

      But think about it like that:

      let's say my website is: mydomain.com and all these subscribers subscribed my form in mydomain.com ... And what if I send email to them via my support@mydomain.com support email, will they all flagged as spam too?

    Dear friend

    The issue here is your personal hosting providers email solution is not suitable for mass sending.
    Some hosts even tell you that they can ban your account if you are catched trying to mass email.
    Why?
    Because your domain email is for your domains personal mailings not for promotional sending.
    Hosting providers do not want to deal with mass email sending. Because it is a completely different beast.

    What should you do?
    You should go and use some suitable free mailer. Like mailchimp. There are many more alternatives that gives free options just like you need.

    Take care and do not BCC!

      Upgrade to a paid account, set up your autoresponder series, and start making money passively --actually, it's not that simple, but not too difficult...

    Use a paid and affordable autoresponder like ActiveCampaign
    or Sendlane.

    Be sure to set up a proper welcome email to your list, so any new subscribers coming in can immediately engage with you.

    Don't sell in there yet, just give some helpful advice or say hi.

    You don't want them to hear from you the first time after few days, they may already forgot about signing up.

    I also do use Aweber and I'm loving it! But it really depends what you are trying to do. If you simply want to send out broadcast emails here and there, then I guess MailChimp is good enough for that. I know that MailChimp also has the Autoresponder future where you can prewrite an email sequence and it automatically sends out the email when a new subscriber gets on your list.

    There is a lot of cool stuff you can do with Aweber!

    I'll suggest you to send emails manually ever after 30 minutes. you can send 20 emails as Bcc
    email will go separately to everyone. If you send bulk email like 1000 then it can show you as spam and also reject you .
