Let’s get started with the first and most important step - building a strong Email infrastructure.
‍
It’s really important to understand before you build a strong email infrastructure. If you want to see real results, you need to send emails in bulk—1,000 personalized emails every day.
‍
Here’s how you can build a robust email infrastructure to achieve this.
First things first, you need to buy a domain. This is crucial because you shouldn’t use your primary domain for cold email outreach.
Instead, get secondary domains that are similar to your main domain.
Here’s a quick guide:
By doing this, you protect your main domain’s reputation and increase your chances of landing in your prospects' inboxes.

Once you’ve bought your domains, the next step is to set them up. Here’s how you can do it:
SPF ensures that only authorized mail servers can send emails on behalf of your domain. Here’s how to set it up:
Steps:
Check Your SPF Records:
DKIM adds a digital signature to your emails, verifying that the email content hasn’t been altered in transit.
Steps:
Check Your DKIM Records:
DMARC helps prevent email spoofing and phishing by ensuring that emails are correctly authenticated using SPF and DKIM.

Important: You should also add 301 redirection from your secondary domain to primary domain. Because if someone is curious and wants to know more about your website, you don’t want them to land on an empty website.
You want them to be redirected to your main landing page or primary domain.
By following these detailed steps, you’ll ensure your email infrastructure is set up correctly, improving your email deliverability and helping you generate B2B leads effectively.
