I currently use my personal email address to send cold outreach, but I'm concerned about being marked as spam by recipients. I don't send many emails (around five a week). And I always try to craft them personally.
I'm hoping that using my personal email would help get more replies as it adds some authenticity. But there is a risk of backlash if my emails get marked as spam, ultimately leading to being unable to use my email address.
Considering the low volume of emails I send, should I be worried, and is it worth risking it? I'd prefer not to lose my email.
Make a new personal email on another domain, and use a tool like lemwarm from lemlist - if you just go to town sending cold emails from your personal address, you will 10000% get marked as spam
Thanks , I'll follow your advice! Also TIL about lemwarm, pretty cool!
No problem! Yeah that thing works wonders, ive seen cold outreach with vs without, and without is NOT a pretty site - it ruins entire domains, not just addresses!
