If you plan to send a higher volume of emails each week (more than 100 per user) it oftentimes makes sense to create a separate email account specifically for these emails. This way, all your sales emails are separate from your other emails (like customer emails) you send from your primary email account. If you ever get blacklisted or see a decline in email delivery for your BuzzBuilder emails, this won't affect your main email account in any way.

 

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to set up a new email account. You'll also want these email accounts to be on a different domain (website address). This way, if for some reason your email delivery or reputation is affected, it will not harm your primary domain (and email accounts).


How to set up a dedicated email address and domain for cold emailing :

  1. You'll need to choose a hosting company to purchase a domain and email account. Google G-Suite is a good option. We also suggest using godaddy.com which is even easier to set up. (They are one of largest Outlook 365 hosts and have good customer support ). You can follow the steps below, but you'll find it easier to simply call them and they'll do it for you. Their support team can be reached at (480) 505-8877.
  2. Purchase your new domain. For example, if your current domain is yourcompany.com then purchase something similar like yourcompany.net or yourcompany-mail.com
  3. Purchase a separate Outlook 365 email account for each user (around $5 month)
  4. We suggest that you set up Email Forwarding and have email from this new account forwarded to your primary email address. This way you can check email from both accounts in your main inbox. Click here to learn how to set up forwarding. 

Once you have your domain and email accounts:

  1. Log into BuzzBuilder using your current email address.
  2. The system will prompt you to grant access to BuzzBuilder to send e-mail from your email account
  3. Grant access and you are good to go!

NOTE: Once you connect your new email account, all emails will be sent from this address, not the address associated with your BuzzBuilder Login.


Also, be aware of the email sending limits imposed by Outlook (which is usually 1000 emails per day with GoDaddy). If you didn't use GoDaddy. If you purchased from another hosting company, be sure to contact them. Tell them you're using Outlook as an email relay and ask how many emails per day you can send from 3rd party applications.
