Set up cold email: domains and inboxes

Why a separate domain. Cold email can hurt a domain's reputation. Sending from a lookalike, like getyouragency.com, keeps your main domain's email safe.

1. Set up a lookalike domain with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, with two or three inboxes on it, like maya@getyouragency.com. (Buying domains and ready inboxes right here is coming.)
2. In Cold email → Inboxes, connect each inbox with Google or Microsoft. You allow sending, reading replies, and filing warm-up email. We never see your password and never delete your mail.
3. Add the records shown under each inbox's Details. SPF (the record that says who may send for your domain) is needed before a sequence can launch; DKIM and DMARC are strongly recommended. We check once a day.
4. Let each inbox warm up for 14 days, or mark it as Aged if it has sent normal email for months.
5. Fill in your sender name and postal address. Every cold email must include it.

Then write a sequence.
