Hey everyone! You've been asking SO many questions about email authentication, SPF records, and "why won't my domain verify?"—so I made a whole video breaking it down step-by-step. Episode 2 is live: How to Check Your Email Authentication (SPF, DKIM & DMARC) This is the follow-up to the Sender Reputation video, and honestly? This might be THE most important technical thing you do for your email marketing this year. In this video, I show you: ✅ The 2-minute Gmail method to check if your authentication is working ✅ What SPF, DKIM, and DMARC actually ARE (in plain English) ✅ The #1 mistake that's killing your deliverability: Multiple SPF records ✅ Where to find your DNS settings (and what to do there) ✅ How to fix broken authentication step-by-step ✅ Why you should NEVER use your sending domain for other tools Here's the thing: Since 2024, Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft REQUIRE proper authentication. Without it, your emails don't just go to spam—they get blocked completely. And here's my embarrassing confession: I accidentally broke my authentication a few months ago and didn't notice. My open rates dropped from 55% to 15% overnight. 😅 So yeah, this stuff matters. 🎯 Quick check (do this right now): 1. Send yourself an email from your email platform 2. Open it in Gmail → Three dots (...) → "Show original" 3. Look at the top: SPF: PASS | DKIM: PASS | DMARC: PASS All three say PASS? You're golden. Keep doing what you're doing. Any say FAIL? Watch the video—I'll show you exactly how to fix it.
