Confused with starting cold emailing

[YoungGeko]

Hey, hope everyone is doing well. I'm looking to start sending cold emails for a service I'm offering on Fiverr. I've never sent cold emails before and had a look around on search bar, there's a lot of information, and I don't know where to start. Can someone outline me the easiest way to get started (looking to send 100 emails per day). I have no idea about warming up accounts, proxies, smtp ect. So if somebody could tell me what I need and where to get it from I'd really appreciate the help. I want to send 100 emails a day and increase my chances of reaching their inbox without getting sent straight to the spam folder. Is it as simple as going on google workspace purchasing a business email, and then start sending emails?

You alredy have a good list?

There are 2 ways
1. Send from GMail/hotmail accs etc
2. Send from private domain smtp

First you have to decide which way to go

Cold emailing should be the last thing you do to make money. It should be focused on seriously and sent to the right people. On the other hand, if you think you can make money by sending it to 100 people a day, you are pretty optimistic.

Hey! If you're diving into cold emailing, first grab a business email through Google Workspace with your own domain. Then, take it slow when warming up your email (Mailwarm is awesome for that) so you don’t end up in spam right away. If you're sending a lot of emails or running multiple accounts, using residential proxies is a good idea to keep your IP safe and avoid getting blacklisted. For bulk emailing, check out SMTP providers like SendGrid or Mailgun, and tools like Woodpecker or Lemlist can help automate everything and personalize your messages. That way, you won’t run into spam traps. Good luck with it!

Yh I already have a list. I ended up going the private domain route. Thanks for the reply

I hear you man, was just looking for the easiest way to get started.

Maybe post your request in the Hire a Freelancer thread to have an expert build you an SMTP and mailer.
But that may not be necessary if you are doing low volume daily sending which I assume is the case. Yet it's still useful.

Your best bet is to use a service like Google workspace like someone already said. If the list is clean, you may want to also have a look at Amazon SES smtp + your own mailer.

I got a domain from workspace, started warming with instantly (not sending any emails for at least 2 weeks). Really appreciate the detail response, you helped a bunch.

• Apify - search and scrape Apolo leads
• instantly

It's way more complicated as it looks, but it will save you days of research and money.

Good luck!

thanks man, will look into it. I decided to start with google, start from 10 emails/day (after warming up), then second week 20, third week 30, and then eventually max at 50/day. Then look into getting more emails, the goal is to be able to send 1,000/day so will probably end up getting about 20.

How true is it that this is illegal and you can be fined? I would like to start something similar.

I believe there are guidelines you have to follow depending on where you're sending to/from (e.g. CAN-SPAM etc.)

How can this prevent spam traps?
