Cold Emailing-How Am I Doing?

Hello everyone, very new to all of this so I apologize if this post comes off as dumb.

I have a list of 10K emails that I am needing to cold contact about some things in a field they have opted to hear more things related to from in the past. I have been trying a few email cleaning service on this list (running them through Zerobounce and Get Prospect) but I can currently only do 100 or so a day with their free services- Is there a quicker way to sort these out?

Since only around 10% are coming back as legitimate so far, I am thinking about just using gmass and a warmer , or maildrip and a warmer to slowly send out these emails over a few days ( I don't think that I will end up with any more thank 3000 legitimate emails by the end of it if they keep getting marked as bad at the rate they are) Does this sound like a good plan?

Finally, how should I hide my IP address? should I just use any old VPN and hop around when things start getting flagged? What other methods can I use to protect my home IP from blacklisting or bad rep?



Any information is helpful, thank you.

Maybe this can be of help to you:

This lady was offering me her email marketing services. I haven't pulled the trigger on it or anything but she shares a lot of her method here.

I watched the video you sent. I appreciate it, her setup definitely is something I will look to model mine after. Do you by chance have any experience with the masking of an IP to protect from email blacklisting?

To avoid being spammed make sure. It should have at least open rate 40% and reply rate 20% doing bulk mailing to mass cold audience would be bad idea. Such acts would mark your domain as being black listed. Personalization is right way for cold mailing than broadcasting like newsletters.

Thank you for that information! I planned on warming up these addresses, and all of the addresses are from a similar geolocation-we are a local organization with public space and are looking to get word out to locals in a specific industry about our facility. I was thinking about using a 4G hotspot to create gmail accounts under different IPS, and warm them up over the course of a few days and dripping around 100-200 per inbox a day.. As I said, I only have around 3k to message. How would you personally approach this?

When it comes to CM through Gmail I don't have any experience on this. SInce I am already using a 15yo domain for same purpose.
Since you goal is make aware about your services. I would highly recommend first check your domain reputation and email deliverability of your prospect.
You can target to the generic emails if that business is new or small into operation.
Else you need to find specific decision maker through some paid tools.
KPI you should be focused would be Open rate and then traffic or any inserted content you might lead to drive some action like download or video to YouTube.
