Anyone using Go High Level for cold emailing?
Short answer: not really. Go High Level is a CRM and marketing automation platform. Its email side is built around sending to contacts who opted in, mostly through its own sending service. As far as I know, that service's acceptable use terms don't allow cold lists, so check that before you build on it. What cold email needs that a CRM doesn't usually give you: - Many mailboxes across several secondary domains, with a campaign rotating through them - Per-mailbox daily caps, ideally well under 50 a day - Warmup before you send and a way to watch bounce and spam rates after - Auto-pause when bounces climb A workable setup is to keep GHL as the CRM and pipeline, and send from a dedicated cold email tool. Pass interested replies into GHL by webhook or Zapier. Whichever sender you pick, set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC on every sending domain, and never send cold from your main domain.
What's the best cold outreach platform out there suitable for ...
Since you're new to this, I'd optimize for fewer moving parts rather than the cheapest setup. The part that trips most beginners isn't the sequencing, it's the plumbing: buying a domain, creating mailboxes, getting SPF, DKIM and DMARC right, warming up, then connecting it all to a sender. Each step is small, but one wrong DNS record and you spend your first week debugging spam placement instead of learning whether your pitch works. So pick a tool where domains, mailboxes and sending live in one place, and add LinkedIn steps if your buyers are active there. Whatever you choose, send from a separate domain, not your main one, use two or three mailboxes instead of one, and keep each to a low daily volume. SuperSend does the all-in-one thing (disclosure: I work on it), with plans from $59/mo, but that checklist applies to any tool. The DIY SMTP route in the top comment is cheaper. Just be honest about whether you want to maintain it as a beginner.
I tried cold outreach platforms for 6 months and barely got ...
One thing worth separating: six months of weak results could be two different problems, and the fix for each is different. Check which one you have before changing anything else. If mail lands in spam, it's infrastructure, and the auth check above is the first step. After that, keep each mailbox to a low daily volume (a few dozen at most) and let new mailboxes warm up for a couple of weeks before real sends. Verify the list before sending, because a bounce rate above a few percent damages the domain quickly. Keep the first email plain text, with no tracking pixel and ideally no link. To test it, send the same email to a few personal Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo accounts and see where it lands. If it hits the inbox everywhere, deliverability isn't your issue and the problem is the list or the message. If it's landing and nobody replies, I'd treat timing as a minor factor. The bigger levers are who you picked and whether the first line shows you know their situation. A tight list of 50 people with a real reason to care beats a better send time on 500.
How many Mails ID’s for Cold mailing so that my domain reputation….
The math first: 6 mailboxes at 5 to 10 emails a day is only 30 to 60 sends a day in total. That's small. Even your 20-mailbox target would be 100 to 200 sends a day, which a handful of mailboxes can carry, so you don't need 20. Mailbox count isn't what protects reputation. Per-mailbox daily volume, bounce rate and complaint rate are. Rules people reuse: - Keep each mailbox at 20 to 30 cold sends a day at most, and ramp slowly. - Many people cap at 2 to 3 mailboxes per domain, so 6 on one domain is on the high side. Add a domain when you outgrow that. - Verify addresses first and keep hard bounces under about 2%. - SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the domain, plus a plain way to opt out. - Watch Google Postmaster Tools. Spam rate should stay well under 0.1%. Like the other comment said, use a secondary domain for outreach. At your volume, one secondary domain with 3 mailboxes covers you. Caveat: Google's terms and your country's consent rules still apply, so check those.
Cold Email Outreach
Yes, get the secondary domain. Primary-domain cold email can work at very low volume with hand-written messages to a tight list, but the downside is lopsided. Domain reputation is tracked per domain, so a bounce or spam-complaint spike on your main one can push invoices, customer replies and proposals into spam too. What keeps the secondary setup safe: - Use a close variant (trybrand.com, getbrand.com), with the website redirecting to your main site so it looks real if someone checks. - Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC before sending anything. - Two or three mailboxes at about 15 to 20 sends a day each beats one mailbox at 60. - Spend the first couple of weeks on low-volume, real back-and-forth before ramping. - Verify the list first. Hard bounces hurt faster than anything else, so pause if they climb past a couple of percent. - Keep the first email plain text, short, with one clear ask and an easy opt-out. The jroberts67 skepticism is fair on one point: the channel only works with a tight list and a relevant offer. Infrastructure just keeps a good message from landing in spam.
