Hey guys,

On this start-up I am doing, I am engaging in some cold-emailing. After some testing on different emails, the email I send the cold emails from ([email protected]) seems to always end up in the junk folder.

Any solutions around this or to get my email trusted perhaps?

Thanks
 
What are you using to send your cold emails?

Get rid of spammy words from your copy.
 
hard topic, seems easy but is hard as F..K

* buy domain
* setup a couple of emails
* warm these emails for accouple of weeks to months
* create emails with no spam words at all
* in may case i was doing a giveaway to those emails that replayed "Got it" or "OK" (that methods works great)
* clean and segment your list by groups, delete the ones that don't work, is better to have a list of 100 emails that open and read your stuff than 10000 emails that don't work

rinse and repeat and who knows may be sharing help someone in needs
 
You can do the following things to avoid this :
  1. Authenticate your domain: Implement Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) protocols to validate your email domain. This helps establish trust and proves that your emails are not spam.
  2. Build your sender reputation: Gradually increase your email volume over time. Start by sending a small number of emails and gradually scale up. Consistently sending high-quality emails that get positive engagement helps build a good sender reputation.
  3. Avoid spam triggers: Craft your email content in a way that avoids common spam triggers. Using excessive capitalization, unnecessary exclamation marks, or too many hyperlinks can flag your emails as spam. Ensure your email content is relevant, personalized, and engaging to improve deliverability.
  4. Clean up your email list: Regularly remove inactive or undeliverable email addresses from your list. High bounce rates can negatively impact your sender reputation, increasing the likelihood of being marked as spam.
  5. Warm up your IP address: If you're using a new email server or IP address, warm it up gradually by sending emails to known contacts first, rather than starting with bulk cold emailing. Gradually increase your email volume over time to establish your sender reputation.
  6. Use a reputable email service provider (ESP): Some ESPs have established relationships with ISPs and have better deliverability rates. Consider using a reputable ESP that focuses on deliverability to increase your chances of reaching the inbox.
thank you for this, i will use it as a framework to my team to implement on each domain that we have and will buy in the future
 
Make sure your emails get through by improving the content, steering clear of spam-like language, and verifying your domain. This builds trust and helps keep your emails out of people's junk folders.
 
Can you explain your email config? Like how many domains, emails, etc
 
I suggest to check with your web and email hosting provider what you can do to increase your rating probably you can do it check some documentation or hire someone with this.

for your email system with signatures:

  • DMARC
  • SPF
  • DKIM
when you use automated emails like mailchimp, mailerlite or other third parties they ask you to get the signatures for your email headings so you reduce the chance to get flagged as spam.
 
Check your domain and IP reputation first; if they're flagged, that could be why. Make sure you're following best practices for cold emailing—personalization, relevant subject lines, opt-out options, and proper timing between emails. Also, authenticate your email with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to improve deliverability. If you're not already, warm up your email by gradually increasing the volume of sent emails. Engage with replies to build a positive sending reputation. And avoid trigger words known to flag spam filters. Test with different email content and see what sticks.
 
Emailing getting harder and harder. Where will it be 5 years from now?
Will email literally be dead?
