SMTP Infrastructure Question
My email provider is Titan Mail and I started using Smartlead.ai about a month ago. Even though the bounce rate wasn't very high with the campaigns, many of the email domains I used were suspended. I was told that "Smartlead.ai does not use its own SMTP infrastructure — it relies on external email services (like Titan, Gmail, Outlook, etc.) configured via SMTP/IMAP. " Titan support recommended using tools like Mailchimp, SendGrid and Brevo, but I like the ability to use multiple email addresses and have the tool rotate them. Any ideas for other tools like Smartlead.ai that have their own "SMTP infrastructure"? Thanks!

@Tomer Levi They were suspended by Titan. The reason was the bounce rate, even though Smartlead showed a bounce rate of 0.73%. I guess Titan is really strict. They stated that their email accounts can't be used for promotional or marketing purposes, only 1to1 business communication. I went ahead and set up an Instantly account and connected a Sendgrid API for SMTP. Hopefully, they won't be as strict.

@Tomer Levi I created about 56 email addresses from 13 domains and am wanting to use a tool that will not force me to buy new domains from them. It seems like some of the tools I look at require that in order to use their smtp. I had hear about Instantly and Smartlead from this group and that's why I tried them. What cold email mailbox provider would you recommend?
šŸŽÆ PLOT TWIST: The "Secrets" Community Might Get Access to Our Insider DM Training!
Yo! Quick question before my coffee kicks in... šŸ¤”ā˜•ļø Would y'all be interested in learning how to slide into DMs without looking like every other "guru" out there? You know, the ones who start with "Hey šŸ‘‹!" šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø We've got this pretty sick DM masterclass lined up with a 3x 2 Comma Club Award Winner, that was supposed to be exclusively for our paid INSIDERS. BUT...I've been reading your posts, and damn, some of you in the FREE Secrets community are on fire and CRUSHING IT! So I pitched a crazy idea to the team and our special guest coach... What if we opened up a few spots to our Secrets fam? šŸ‘€āš ļø IMPORTANT: This isn't your typical "copy-paste this magic script" BS. This ain't about: āŒ That played-out script everyone's using (you know the one...) āŒ Those cringe "Hey boss babe!" openers āŒ Some sketchy automation bot that'll get you banned āŒ Pushy sales tactics that make you feel like a used car salesman āŒ Promise-the-moon-deliver-a-rock strategies āŒ That weird guru-speak nobody actually uses IRL Instead, this is the raw, psychological stuff that: āœ… Works whether Instagram is up or down āœ… Keeps working even when the market shifts āœ… Makes you stand out (without being weird about it) āœ… Actually gets responses (imagine that! 😱) Here's the catch (because there's always a catch, right?): 1. The webinar room has limited space (tech limitations, not fake scarcity) 2. We need enough interest to justify opening it up 3. Not everyone who wants in will get in (keeping it real) If you want a seat, drop a comment below with: 1. Your biggest DM struggle right now 2. What you'd do with a consistent DM strategy 3. Why you should get one of these limited spots The most interesting responses might just get first dibs... šŸ˜‰ PS: If you're currently using "Hey! Saw your profile and..." PLEASE comment below. You need this more than you know! šŸ˜‚

āŒAvoid these top 5 cold emailing mistakesāŒ
Most cold emailers make 1 or 2 mistakes that cost them months. Here are the 5 most common: (& how to avoid them) 1. Sending with a primary domainšŸ™ This is the #1 no-no of cold email. Why? - If it gets blacklisted, you can't communicate via email for MONTHS. 2. Sending long emailsšŸ˜’ People don't have time to read the bible. If they see your 7-line email, there are 2 likely outcomes: - they ignore it - they report it as spam Either way? You never had a chance. 3. Incorrect DNS🄓 DNS records verify that you own & control a domain. Your chances of reaching an inbox without them is near 0. 4. Buying listsšŸ˜– Most lists are old & have invalid emails that put you at risk. Buying lists online will always cost you more than it’s worth. 5. Asking for a meeting🄱 This is fine once they reply. But, asking for a call in the 1st email is like asking for a date on the 1st conversation. Prospects aren't ready & don't trust you yet. Those are the most common mistakes of beginner emailers. Here's how to avoid them... āœ…Buying aged domains Buying domains with GoDaddy reduces the risk of being blacklisted. The older the domain, the higher the trust. āœ…Short & valuable emails Giving prospects free value while respecting their time is a winning formula. The best emails I've seen are 2-3 lines long. āœ…EasyDmarc for setup In order to verify your domain, you need: - DMARC - DKIM - SPF EasyDmarc makes it easy to set these up in a day. āœ…Scraping TrustedLeads Databases like Apollo give you fresh leads to work with. You can copy its URL into TrustedLeads to get them for cheaper. āœ… Soft CTA Asking for info or a keyword is much better than taking a call. Prospects spend much less time & energy - increasing the # of replies.

@Ian Kirk I was sending out of HighLevel in drip mode. I've since been setting things up in another tool that rotates domains/emails

@Jay Feldman Thanks. I stopped sending about 1.5 months ago. I set up a couple of new email domains in my HighLevel account I'm also looking to use a cold email tool to rotate email domains/email addresses, and not use my main domain at all for that.

@Ian Kirk No, I don't run cold email campaigns for any clients. I run them for my own agency. For clients, we focus on search marketing (local SEO, PPC and LSAs).
