Why I Stopped Using Google (for Cold Email)

In today's video, "Why I Stopped Using Google for Cold Email," I dive deep into Google's recent move - selling its domains to Squarespace, and the implications it has on the world of cold email. As we've relied heavily on Google Workspace for our cold emails, this development has definitely stirred the pot. Watch as I discuss the changes, my personal experiences, and the evolving landscape of cold email campaigns.

I just bought your cold email manifesto book on kindle and I found it very unigue and interesting. I'm new to the email game. I'll keep learning from your YouTube channel on the updates.. I'm also here to help improve our email community if I can. Thanks for sharing your unique knowledge.

from everything i see online, it's taking more and more emails to book meetings since more and more people are spraying and praying

i do think the results of cold email will drop drastically but like with any industry those that weather it will come up better

[tonykirks]

I like how you say "it may not be worth my time" to make videos like this... Video has done better than past months videos.

I knew there will be something, everything good comes to an end, ecspecially with online business'es ... Its allways like that, Seo, facebook ads, cold email .. this is why i think sadly ill have to get a job at some place one way or the other, its just so easy and risky to loose your income nowadays and if you dont have 6 figures laying around from your ventures it can be devastating.

I would like to do automated cold email outreach for a business. The general advice is to use a domain separate from the domain of the business to avoid the primary domain of the business from getting flagged or getting a bad reputation. In other words, use disposable domains. The general consensus seems to be to create a separate google workspace account for each domain that you create. However, another school of thought is to use a single google workspace account (the same account that you initially set up for the business), and then, for each domain that you purchase to send emails from, you add that domain as a secondary/additional domain to the existing google workspace account of the business. From my understanding, this strategy would also work, because even if email activity from one of the domains causes that particular domain to be flagged or results in that domain getting a bad reputation, then it would not affect the primary domain of the google workspace account, or any other domain of the google workspace account either, because each domain is distinct and operates separately.
Therefore, I have two choices: Create a new google workspace account, and add/connect the domain that I purchased for automated email outreach to it. or 2. Add/connect the domain as a secondary account to the existing google workspace account that I already set up for the business. Which strategy would you recommend? and why?

Can you please make a vid about how to add outlook onto Omni? Also, I’ve noticed Microsoft Outlook is specifically made for business emails and they have higher sending limits as well as each mailbox added is only additional $6 per mailbox.

[cambsdigital]

Thanks for the video, just wanted to clarify my understanding that it was the mailbox servers they kept? So that hasn't changed?

[unsouos]

Wow, we just moved all our platforms to Google Workspace and looks like we might have to switch again soon. So unfortunate.

[internetbizz]

Seems like this is going the same direction as bulk mail went 2 years ago. We are going to need to spread our infrastructure across many platforms. Diversity the ESPs that we use and invest in IP blocks. All of this just to play a game of cat and mouse.

[corruptpablo]

Damn I literally have all of my emails with Google.

They might become more strict but email makes them so much money. I don´t think Google will make such a decision.
They might have way stricter rules but it´s such a cash flow for them it woulnd´t make sense.

We´ll get through it Alex, hope I´m right godamnit

[seanferres]

the squarespace acquisition was super annoying for sure, great breakdown here!

[forgodani]

So just to clarify again... from now on we should use Outlook as our primary email provider...?

[giovanifranco]

Good content bro! Do you have some sort of social space where we can exchange experiences in cold emailing? Like a disc server or sth?
