🚀 Skylead Email Mastery: The Ultimate Guide to Setting Up Your Email Inboxes 📧

🌟 Welcome to the Skylead Email Inbox Setup Guide! 🌟

Hey there! 👋 Are you ready to turbocharge your email outreach? Let's dive into setting up your email inboxes with Skylead, ensuring you're all set for success! 🚀

1. Choose Your Hosting Platform 🌐: Pick from GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Namecheap. These three are currently the top choices for purchasing high-quality domain names

2. Select Your Email Provider ✉️: Stick with the reliable choices - Gmail or Outlook. 

3. Create an Account 🔒: Sign up on your chosen hosting platform and secure your plan with a credit card.

4. 🕵️‍♂️ Check for Blacklist Status Before Buying a Domain: Before you dive into purchasing that perfect domain, make sure it's not on the naughty list! 🚫 It's super important to check if the domain is blacklisted to avoid any future email woes. We highly recommend using MXToolbox for this. It's a fantastic tool that'll give you the all-clear or the heads up on any blacklist issues with your chosen domain. Better safe than sorry, right? 🌟🔍

5. Buy a Domain 🛍️: Log in to your hosting platform, head to the domain section, and purchase one. Remember, for cold outreach, it's better to have a domain different from your main one.
   Here's a pro tip: choose a .com domain for the best deliverability. it's a good idea not to use your main domain for cold outreach to avoid the risk of it being blacklisted. Instead, buy domains that are variations of your main domain. For instance, if skylead.io is your main domain, consider options like tryskylead.com, skyleadapp.com, or growwithskylead.com for your cold outreach efforts. This approach ensures your main domain remains safe while you effectively manage your outreach with these alternate domains. 🌐✨

6. Opt for a One-Year Plan ⏳: When buying your domain, it's wise to commit for just one year. This way, if the domain accidentally gets blacklisted, you won't have spent money on a three-year term for nothing. It's all about being smart and cautious with your resources! 💡🛡️

7. Set Up Domain Forwarding 🔀: Post-purchase, in GoDaddy for example, navigate to 'Manage All', locate your domain, and set up forwarding to your main domain (like HTTPS://skylead.io, 301 permanent).

8. Create a Workspace 🏢: Create a Workspace 🏢: When setting up your email outreach, it's essential to establish a brand new Gmail or Outlook workspace. Visit the respective site, input the necessary details, and connect your newly purchased domain. Remember, this workspace should be separate from where your main domain is hosted. For added security and flexibility, you can attach 10 to 15 domains to this workspace. It's all about keeping your main domain secure while maximizing your outreach potential! 🔐✉️

9. Choose the Right Plan (Google Workspace) 💳: If you're opting for Google Workspace, start with their 14-day free trial to get a feel for the platform. Afterward, be sure to switch to a more budget-friendly plan. No need to shell out $14 per email! There's actually a more affordable plan at just $6. Interestingly, you might initially be presented with the $14 option, but don't worry – that's why we switch plans. By opting for the $6 plan, you get what you need without the extra cost It's all about smart planning! 🌟📈

10. Configure DNS Records 🛠️: Set up your MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records as per your hosting platform's guidelines.

11. Create Email Accounts 📧: Within your workspace, create up to three email accounts per domain, using real names.

12. Add Accounts to Skylead ➕: Easily add these accounts to Skylead with a one-click sign-in for Gmail/Outlook. Set your sender names, campaign limits, and waiting times.

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 Skylead.

14. Bulk Edit for Multiple Emails ✨: Use Skylead's bulk edit feature for uniform settings across multiple email accounts.

15. Repeat for Each Domain 🔁: Follow these steps for each domain you set up.
