Email Blasting for E-Comm. & Finance

Hello Everyone, Longtimer lurker here. This is my first post.

For quite a while I have been researching Email blasting as substitute to Paid Ads for my E-Commerce Startup & Finance Business.

For E-Comm. I have not yet decided the products but they will either be like affiliate marketing or my own hosted store, which will consists of products appealing to masses or trending products.

I will have to buy a list and clean it with available free tools and then blast over them. I am yet to test the content that will land me in inbox and have not yet warmed my smtp and ip. I have created a home based iRedMail server having static ip which will be used for blasting.

Please tell me if I am on the right track or not. Am I missing something?

Also, email blasting will be used for initial cashflow generation then I will slowly switch to paid ads.

Everything looks good but i was unclear from which domain your going to send emails. I suggest you to register alternative domain for sending emails rather than using primary domain.

Good luck

Thanks for revert.

I am using alternative domain. It ends with .site. I think that may affect the deliverability. I bought it over .com or .co as .com and .co were 7 times the cost of .site.

.site TDL is not that good with long term emailing ( And delivery will be almost 0% ) i would suggest aged .com.

Good luck

Hello Again! I am going to give up on email marketing. Here's what I did:
I used .site domain, used mautic and iredmail smtp in my in house server, bought a static ip that was not blacklisted, warmed up the care@{email}.site for 2-3 months free warmup of quickmail. I used verfiocation.io leaked database and cleaned it using cracked GloboEMailVerifier, and my auidence was only female as they are more likely to buy baby products as per my view.

I launched my first campaign with test email and have text based content asking for a review for my free store. I got some openers.
Mail Sent 544 / Openers 24. I was estatic that it's showing some results. Also added unsubscribed link.

Then I added a soap water gun to my free bigcartel store and copy pasted and reviewed description. It was on free bigcartel domain.
Then I created a email template having similar product description as product page with images in between and "Click here to learn more" link to product page. At first I mailed to 3084 / 18 Openers and 10 Link clicks, but none of them to showed on my bigcartel metrics. Also a point to note is that all those openers were from private email domain, B2B ones. None from yahoo, aol, gmail, hotmail, outlook etc.

My Email template attached below. Link: https://ibb.co/zs9vNsm

Then till today I have sent total of 8000 emails but I am getting zero openers and link clicks.

I feel like giving up and I am feeling lost. I planned to use cold email marketing to get some initial sales for my drop-shipping store then I would start FB ads from the cashflow.

Please guide me, where I went wrong.

You went wrong from your build-up on a weak foundation. Bad TLD, what can you expect with a .site TLD. Free warmup? everything you are doing is with low-quality stuff. You are not paying enough to get stuff properly built and set up. Proper .com domain name. Using a tool like warmupinbox to help with the warmup process. Your SMTP server probably doesn't have DMARC, SPF and DKIM. Email marketing is not as easy as you think it is, you need to invest in setting up stuff properly.

Stop calling it "blasting", only people without clue call it that way.

Thanks for the reply!

Noted:
1. Will get proper .com domain, do i need to aged or normal one will work after 10-15 days of warmup?
2. DMARC, SPF and DKIM are properly setup, but will keep that in mind for new setup.
3. Do you recommend any technical guide for setting up email marketing setup, as email content and subject line etc will come later, I need to setup up the hardware properly at first.
4. Do you recommend any budget criteria for EMail Marketing setup?

$10 .com domain
$15 warmup inbox

I have installed server in my house so, so server cost is zero.

Well, you next move should be getting maybe MailWizz.
When building stuff like these, build upon a rock, not sand. All the best this time around building on a solid foundation.

Went through the video. Thanks for it. One more question, Should I go ahead with mailwizz or mautic? and If mailwizz, can we use nulled one?

Mailwizz is my recommendation, and it should work, but you won't get any support. If you can purchase it, then that would be good. But it's up to you. Glad the video helped you.

Hey Deleted member 1501362 , I am looking for someone who can help me with the proper setup for sending 50k to 100k daily.B2C, we mainly target specific domains, say someday Gmail, someday mix. I have few employees who I can dedicate for this project, they have basic skills for email marketing. I have access to Gmail API's at cheap price.
Looking for someone who can guide or provide consultation for the proper setup.
I know the inbox rate won't be too high when sending this huge number of emails, but our main purpose is to send and generate inbound calls. And currently I know my other friends who are working on a similar project and generating around 200 inbound calls daily by sending 40k daily, they are only sending to Gmail domains and complete the sending task in 2 to 3 hours.

I am looking for someone who can either help me setup the entire thing and give tutorial to my team head on how to run everything Or someone or some team who can do this for me everyday Monday to Friday.

Obviously I will pay for the service.

email blasting can be effective but risky. make sure to follow spam regulations. warming up your smtp and ip is crucial. focus on crafting engaging and relevant content. consider segmenting your email list for better targeting. keep an eye on your email deliverability rates.

Thank you for the information @decentaly

You can also try using aged Gmails. You can buy them on the forum

And how to use the aged Gmail? @DeadJoe, the question because I am not that technically strong on this part and someone else is handling everything for me now.

Do you recommend any budget criteria for EMail Marketing setup?
