12) The Most Important Step: Warm up your new dedicated email sending subdomain, if you want to achieve the best deliverability possible.

• Recommended Warm up Method

  To warm up your new sending subdomain, you could use the FG Funnels warm up automation. you can fill out the form here to have the warm up automation loaded into your FG Funnels account. So you can build an email sequence, then manually bulk add your contacts to the workflow automation. An asset funnel will also be loaded into your account under Sites > Funnels. It contains video tutorials + written steps for using our automated warm up process. The asset funnel will be titled "FG Automation Email Warm Up Asset Funnel - DO NOT DELETE."

• Second Best Option ( Alternative )

  There is a table on our Messaging Wizard page here ( and it is also copied below ). This table provides a guideline for the maximum number of hourly and daily emails you can send during the warm up phase. Usually, we would recommend slowly dripping emails, as slowly as you possibly can, for at least the first 30 days after you start sending emails.

• Besides starting with a clean list (meaning they opted in and you've been consistently emailing them since), the best thing you can do for your new dedicated domain's sending reputation is to keep your sending slow and steady to start.

  
  

  The table below provides a guideline for the maximum number of hourly and daily emails to be sending during the warm-up phase of your dedicated domain. It is always best if you can send fewer emails per day or hour in the beginning.

  
  

  For example, when sending your first emails (Stage 1), you do not want to send more than 100 emails an hour, and no more than 1K per day.

  
  

  

  ***It’s especially important to note here that a plan with daily limits like this assumes daily sending. For example, if you send the limit for days 1-5, but do not send emails on days six and seven, you cannot pick back up with the limit for day eight.

  
  

  Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to email domain warm-up.
