How to learn how to inbox?

[zcbgameshark]

Hi,

I've spent the last few months learning programming and have developed an MVP for a marketplace I'd like to start marketing. I wrote a bot in ruby that scrapes all the emails off craigslist and automates mail to them using purchased hotmail accounts. The problem is, I don't know the first thing about how to get to people's inboxes.

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on where / how to learn to inbox?

Thank you!

It's hard to send your mail into Inbox even if they subscribe on your blog.

You can try using direct mail from Cpanel of your site, I found out these mails always land in inbox.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with Cpanel - it looks like that is a hosting solution? My website is a custom rails app hosted on Heroku, I'm not sure if using that is an option (?)

What do you sent to your subscribers? First thing to do : delete all images, links, spammy words, write plain and simple.

Well, you can use groupmail and then use free web hosting services so you don't have to waste money because in the beginning your mails will get to the inbox but later your mail server will get blacklisted. With free hosting, changing it won't be difficult.

You can use amazon SES to send emails to people's inbox. I have used it, it's ok.
