Confused with starting cold emailing

YoungGeko said:

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!

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.

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

Good luck!

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