🌟 Welcome to the LeadIn Email Inbox Setup Guide! 🌟
Setting up email inboxes in LeadIn is easy! 🚀
Start by choosing a hosting platform and email provider, checking for blacklist status, and purchasing a domain. Configure DNS records, set up email accounts, and connect to LeadIn.
Add a custom tracking domain, use bulk editing for multiple emails, and you’re all set for successful outreach. Happy emailing! 📧
1. Choose Your Hosting Platform 🌐
- Start by picking a hosting platform for your domain. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Namecheap are top choices—they offer great quality and reliability for buying high-quality domain names.
2. Select Your Email Provider ✉️
- For the best results, stick with the tried-and-true options: Gmail or Outlook. They’re reliable and integrate seamlessly with our tool!
3. Create an Account 🔒
- Sign up on your chosen hosting platform and secure your plan with a credit card. You’re on your way to email outreach greatness!
4. Check for Blacklist Status Before Buying a Domain
- Before you buy that shiny new domain, make sure it’s not on the naughty list! 🚫 Use a tool like MXToolbox or DNS Checker to check if your domain is blacklisted. This simple step can save you from email headaches down the road. Better safe than sorry, right? 🌟🔍
5. Buy a Domain 🛍️
- Log in to your hosting platform, head to the domain section, and purchase a new domain. Remember, for cold outreach, it’s best to use a domain different from your main one. Pro tip: Go for a .com domain for the best deliverability! If your main domain is domain.io, try variations like trydomain.com, domainapp.com, or growwithdomain.com for your outreach efforts. This way, your main domain stays safe while you rock your cold outreach! 🌐✨
6. Opt for a One-Year Plan ⏳
- Choose a one-year plan for your domain. That way, if it gets blacklisted, you’re not locked into a long-term commitment. It’s all about being smart and cautious with your resources! 💡🛡️
7. Set Up Domain Forwarding 🔀
- After buying your domain, set up forwarding to your main website. In GoDaddy, for example, go to ‘Manage All’, find your domain, and set up forwarding to your main domain (like https://domain.io, 301 permanent). Easy peasy! 😉
8. Create a Workspace 🏢
- Time to set up a brand new workspace using Gmail or Outlook. Head to their site, enter the necessary details, and connect your freshly purchased domain. Make sure this workspace is separate from your main domain’s setup. You can attach 10-15 domains to this workspace for added security and flexibility. Keep your main domain secure while maximizing your outreach potential! 🔐✉️
9. Choose the Right Plan (Google Workspace) 💳
- If you’re using Google Workspace, start with their 14-day free trial to get a feel for the platform. After that, switch to the $6/month plan. Don’t get stuck paying $14 per email! By opting for the $6 plan, you’ll get what you need without breaking the bank. Smart planning, right? 🌟📈
10. Configure DNS Records 🛠️
- Now, set up your MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records as per your hosting platform’s guidelines. This is crucial for making sure your emails land in the inbox and not the spam folder!
11. Create Email Accounts 📧
- Within your workspace, create up to three email accounts per domain using real names. This adds a personal touch and builds trust with your audience. 😊
12. Add Accounts to LeadIn ➕
- Now, add these email accounts to the LeadIn with a simple one-click sign-in for Gmail or Outlook. Set your sender names, campaign limits, and waiting times. You’re almost there!
13. Set Up a Custom Tracking Domain 🌍
- In your DNS settings, create a CNAME record for a subdomain like track.yourdomain.com and verify it in the LeadIn. This helps you track your email performance effortlessly!
14. Bulk Edit for Multiple Emails ✨
- Use the LeadIn’s bulk edit feature to apply the same settings across multiple email accounts. It’s a huge time-saver!
15. Repeat for Each Domain 🔁
- If you have more domains, just repeat these steps for each one. You’re building an email outreach empire! 🏰
