The manual email warm-up has various stages.

When you want to start your warmup to send cold emails, you'll need a professional email address based on your domain. Gmail and Yahoo requirements in 2024 say that you need to do this.

Do this to gather the replies. The Mail Exchange (MX) record is a crucial part of a domain's DNS records, directing incoming emails to the correct mail server. It specifies the mail server responsible for accepting messages on behalf of the recipient's domain.

Multiple MX records can be created with different priority settings, ensuring email delivery even if one server is down. MX records also play a role in ensuring correct email routing and security, with email servers verifying the legitimacy of sending and receiving mail servers to reduce spam and spoofing.

This is not necessary, but it helps your audience recognize you and makes you look more professional. However, try to avoid using images and links so that ESPs won't initially flag it as spam.

If your domain is cold and you have never sent emails before from the specific email address you want to warm up, don't send any emails during the first week that you register the domain. Wait 2 or 3 weeks, and then start sending only a couple of emails each day.

The email copy that you send is important, so keep it simple and real. like you normally send emails to your friends and/or businesses. Don't ever use fake or nonsensical copy when warming up your emails.

The interaction between you and your recipients is very important at first. So just send your emails to the people you know, like your friends and colleagues. People that you know will reply to you.

Pro tip #1: try to send your emails to different ESPs, such as Yahoo, Outlook, AOL, etc.

Protip #2: Ask your friend's business email addresses (if available) and send emails to them. Ask them to reply. This also has a huge impact on your reputation.

However, if your domain is not new and you have previously used it, you can send emails to your friends and the contacts you know in the first week. The first emails should be personal emails. then you can shift to business contents.

then start increasing the number and the times you send emails each day.

Still, don't send cold emails. just normal regular emails that people send to each other. communications and questions, and ask recipients to reply to those messages.

As I mentioned before, try to send to all types of accounts, aka Yahoo, AOL, Outlook, GoDaddy, etc.
