The 3-Part Cold Email Engine

 Perfect. Here's your 100% beginner-proof, pixel-precise cold email setup guide.

We’re going to fully automate your cold email system using:

  • A custom domain email (like you@yourbusiness.com)

  • Mail server tools (Zoho or Google Workspace)

  • Cold email warm-up tool (like Instantly, Mailreach, or Mailwarm)

  • Sending automation (via Instantly, Smartlead, or a free Mail Merge + Gmail combo)


๐Ÿงฑ OVERVIEW: The 3-Part Cold Email Engine

✅ Part 1: Set up your professional email (e.g. you@yourdomain.com)

✅ Part 2: Warm it up to avoid spam folders

✅ Part 3: Send automated cold emails with follow-ups


๐Ÿ”ง PART 1: SET UP A PROFESSIONAL EMAIL ADDRESS

Step A: Buy a Domain Name

We'll use Namecheap.com (safe, cheap, and simple).

  1. Open your browser and go to: https://namecheap.com

  2. Type your desired domain in the search bar (e.g., yournameagency.com)

  3. Click the Search button.

  4. Look for a domain that says "Available".

  5. Click the Add to Cart button next to it.

  6. Click the Cart icon in the top-right corner.

  7. Click the Confirm Order button.

  8. Create an account with your email and password.

  9. Fill in your payment details and click Pay Now.

⚠️ Do not buy any extra “Add-ons” like SSL or WHOIS Guard — the WHOIS Guard is already free by default.

✅ Done? You now own a domain.


Step B: Create a Business Email for Cold Outreach

We’ll use Zoho Mail — it's 100% FREE for 1 email account.

  1. Open your browser and go to: https://zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html

  2. Click the Forever Free Plan → then click Sign Up.

  3. Fill in your business name, your desired email (e.g., hello@yourdomain.com), and a secure password.

  4. Click Sign Up.

  5. Verify your email if prompted (they’ll send a code to your personal email).

  6. On the next page, choose "Sign up with your existing domain".

  7. Type your domain name (e.g., yourdomain.com).

  8. Click Proceed.


Step C: Connect Your Domain to Zoho

You now need to prove that your domain belongs to you.

Step C1: Open Namecheap DNS

  1. Open https://namecheap.com

  2. Log in using your email and password.

  3. Move your mouse to the top-right profile icon and click Dashboard.

  4. Under Domains, click Manage next to your domain.

  5. Scroll down to Nameserversset it to Namecheap Basic DNS if it’s not already.

  6. Scroll down to Advanced DNS and click it.

⚠️ Don’t delete existing records unless told. Only add new TXT, MX, and SPF records as Zoho tells you.

Step C2: Add Records Zoho Gives You

  1. Go back to Zoho setup screen.

  2. You’ll see a TXT Record – something like:

    • Host: @

    • Value: zoho-verification=xxxxxx

  3. In Namecheap’s Advanced DNS:

    • Click Add New Record

    • Select TXT Record

    • Set Host to: @

    • Set Value to: the exact string Zoho gave you.

    • Click the green checkmark to save.

✅ After that, click “Verify” back in Zoho.


Step D: Set Zoho MX + SPF Records (email delivery)

  1. Zoho will show you 3–5 MX Records.

  2. In Advanced DNS of Namecheap:

    • Delete any old MX records

    • Add new ones exactly as Zoho shows.

  3. Do the same for:

    • SPF Record (TXT record)

    • DKIM Record (Zoho generates it under “Mail Authentication”)

⚠️ It can take up to 15 minutes to propagate. If it fails, try reloading in 5–10 minutes.

✅ Once done, test email by sending a mail from you@yourdomain.com to your personal Gmail.


๐Ÿงฏ PART 2: WARM UP THE EMAIL ACCOUNT

You must “train” your new email to avoid spam.

We’ll use a free warm-up tool.

Option A: Free Email Warm-up (Instawarm via Instantly.ai trial)

  1. Go to: https://instantly.ai

  2. Click Start Free Trial

  3. Connect your email (Zoho or Gmail-based)

  4. Turn ON Warm-Up Mode under Settings → Warmup

  5. Let it run for 7–14 days before sending real cold emails.

⚠️ If you skip warm-up, your first emails will land in spam.

✅ After 7+ days of warming, you’re ready to send.


๐Ÿ’Œ PART 3: SEND AUTOMATED COLD EMAILS

We’ll use Instantly (or free Google Sheets + Mail Merge if you're on a budget).

Option A: Using Instantly (Best)

  1. Log in at https://instantly.ai

  2. Click New Campaign

  3. Name it (e.g., “Founder Outreach 01”)

  4. Upload a CSV file of your leads (you can scrape these using tools like Apollo or manually build them).

  5. Write your email sequence:

    • Email 1: Intro pitch

    • Email 2: Follow-up (3 days later)

    • Email 3: Final nudge (7 days later)

  6. Set daily sending limit to 30–50 max

  7. Click Launch Campaign

✅ Emails will be sent automatically with replies tracked.


๐Ÿงช PART 4: TESTING YOUR SETUP

Before going live:

  1. Send a test email to your personal Gmail.

  2. Check if it lands in Inbox (not spam or Promotions).

  3. Reply to it to verify you can receive emails too.

✅ If it lands in Spam:


๐Ÿ› ️ FALLBACK & TROUBLESHOOTING

If domain connection fails in Zoho:

  • Make sure you saved each DNS record properly.

  • Try again in 10–15 minutes — DNS records take time.

If Zoho verification fails:

  • Try using CNAME method instead of TXT if the TXT doesn’t verify.

If emails go to spam:

  • Make sure warm-up ran for at least 7 days.

  • Avoid using spammy keywords like “guaranteed,” “free money,” or “urgent.”


FINAL CHECK-IN

  • Do you now have a working you@yourdomain.com address?

  • Did you finish warming up using Instantly or Mailwarm?

  • Were you able to send test emails without hitting spam?
