🔥 NEW: Email Marketing Deep Dive Series

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):

Send yourself an email from your email platform
Open it in Gmail → Three dots (...) → "Show original"
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.

And if you want the one-page cheat sheet that goes with this, it's in my free Content Skool community (link in the YouTube description).

Drop a 🔥 if you checked your authentication!

More episodes coming in this series—we're going deep on list cleaning, email structure, lead quality, and more.

P.S. Pro tip: Set a 6-month calendar reminder to re-check your authentication. Things can break without you noticing (trust me on this one). And if you need hands-on help fixing this stuff, you know where to find me. 😉
