This lecture provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a robust email infrastructure essential for cold emailing campaigns. It discusses the importance of buying primary and secondary domains to avoid spam and blacklisting, the creation of mailboxes, and selecting email service providers. The session emphasizes maintaining domain and mailbox reputation, understanding DNS records, and offers practical advice on achieving effective email deliverability.

This lecture explains how to use secondary domains for cold email campaigns based on email volume, and introduces a formula to determine the required number of domains.

The lecture covers the importance of grasping email infrastructure basics, including domain setup, email authentication (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), email warming, email ramp-up, bounce rate and deliverability management, before moving on to practical applications.

Purchase and set up a primary domain for official use and multiple secondary domains to protect its reputation. Use GoDaddy or Namecheap and employ 301 redirects to link secondary domains to the primary one. Start with 5-8 secondary domains and scale as needed.

The class discusses how to scale email infrastructure while maintaining a good domain reputation. It suggests limiting mailboxes per domain to 2-3 to manage risks and avoid poor email reputation affecting the whole domain. A drawback is the limited email volume per domain, requiring more domains for higher volumes.

The lesson explains the purpose and importance of four basic DNS records: MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. MX records direct email servers, SPF records prevent email spoofing, DKIM ensures email authenticity, and DMARC decides email placement in inboxes. These records are essential for protecting against cyber attacks and ensuring your emails are delivered correctly.

This lecture explains the importance of warming up your emails to build reputation and trust with your esp. Email warming involves gradually increasing the number of emails sent from a new account to avoid landing in spam folders. The recommended process includes starting with a small number of emails and ramping up over days or weeks.

This lecture explains the importance of custom tracking domains for email campaigns. It initially discusses how emails are tracked using open rates and click-through rates, and points out that standard tracking links can harm email deliverability. The solution proposed is using custom tracking domains to improve sender reputation and email performance. Future lectures will cover how to set these up.

The class recommends using public email servers like Google and Microsoft for cold email campaigns due to their better sender reputation, despite higher costs. Google benefits include profile pictures that boost engagement, but they have stricter rules. Microsoft offers easier setup and is more cold email-friendly. Private servers like AWS are cheaper but have poor delivery rates.

The lecture covers the importance of grasping email infrastructure basics, including domain setup, email authentication (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), email warming, email ramp-up, spintax, overlinking, word-to-image ratio, ctas, subject lines, bounce rate and deliverability management, before moving on to practical applications.

This session introduces a course on copywriting that focuses on creating impactful email copy. It differentiates between writing for cold emails and email marketing, promising in-depth lessons on both.

This lecture emphasizes the importance of making cold emails not feel like cold emails. Instead of immediately trying to sell, focus on capturing attention, sparking curiosity, and building relationships. Success in cold emailing involves a three-part funnel: attention, retention, and buying. The key is to be authentic, provide value, and use compelling subject lines and concise, straightforward copy. Avoid high-resistance calls to action, such as scheduling a meeting, in initial emails. Instead, use low-resistance options, like simply asking for a reply.

This class details the four essential elements of a successful cold email: a compelling subject line to increase open rates, a personalized introduction to build trust, offering valuable content instead of direct selling, and using a soft call-to-action (CTA) in the initial emails. It outlines how to personalize emails by addressing recipients' specific needs and concerns, offers tips on avoiding spam triggers, and emphasizes building relationships before attempting hard sells.

Using a MacBook Air ad as an example, the presenter explains how to apply this framework to create impactful messages. The video provides a step-by-step guide to writing an email using the 4C formula, highlighting the importance of keeping it brief, understandable, engaging, and backed by reliable information. After mid-session, we discuss another copywriting framework, Hook, Bait, Reel.

This course covers the importance of follow-up emails in cold email campaigns, showing that most sales happen after five or more emails. It offers strategies for structuring effective follow-up sequences to build relationships and trust, using examples of four and seven-email sequences. Key points include timing, personalization, adding value, and experimenting with different email styles.

A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a powerful but often overlooked method for improving cold email campaigns. By experimenting with subject lines, offers, CTAs, and email structures using a small portion of your lead list, you can identify what works best and apply those insights to scale your efforts effectively. A/B testing helps you pinpoint the most effective elements of your emails, from audience targeting to specific campaign details, ensuring a higher open and engagement rate.

If you nail everything else, the copywriting is where you spend most of your time experimenting. We have found that most successful campaigns can be boiled down to 45 frameworks of campaign angles. These aren’t the only 45 but this is my running list for now. We use these angles to brainstorm creative copywriting with our clients.

This is the part of the campaign that is the most “artistic” per say and requires the most amount of creativity. Everything up until this point is either a very standard procedure or just requires a data expert to know where the data is that we need.
