New update and a solution
I didn't have to get a new domain. I solved the issue with poor delivery rate. If you have the same problem that I have then watch the new video update on what I did.

Everyone have problem with Microsoft email hosting
Any email that uses Microsoft will always go to spam. I did a test on that and plan to release an update tomorrow on my research of that.

Work on delivery rate before open rate
If you have poor open rate then make sure you check your deliver rate first. Learn how to send "clean" emails. Then work on the open rate.

So I have done a research that I wanted to share with you. Kujtim helped me point out what most likely is the issue if you have poor open rate. I first thought that GetResponse was the problem and that I should switch to Aweber but actually I found out later that AWeber was a tiny bit better.

I have done a research video to help other people understand what they should look at if they have similar problems.

If there is something you don't understand or something I should change then please let me know.

Cheers

Its pretty technical and there are all kinds of ways to send via SMTP. You can use shared hosting, vps servers, dedicated servers, smtp services like an opensource autoresponder like phplist or mautic. Probably start with a smtp service, and sending by connecting to the smtp service using a wordpress plugin, that would probably be the least technical way. There there is all the different ways to manage ip reputation. Watch a few hundred youtube videos on the subject and you will start to. I would say it takes years to learn well, and everyone sends via smtp differently. SMTP is like the phone grid, but for email, its vast, billions of email addresses and servers connected together.

Thank you James.

With IP reputation are we talking about the IP of the SMTP server? If that is the case then shouldn't there be like a paid service out there that can do this for me?

As online marketers we should be able to outsource the complicated stuff and focus on creating value.

You could use both. Its never to early to start learning SMTP, all paths lead to it, it the advanced form. Its like being in a box, then suddenly being out of the box.

I start to believe that you are right James.
Kujtim helped me out with testing if my emails landed in the inbox or spam folder. 100% of them spamboxed for gmail.

So about using SMTP. The problem is that people that I'm going to help need to be very technical and I told everyone in my video training that you don't need much technical skills. So I will be lying to them and I really don't like that.

If there is a way to follow the SMTP route and I can be confident most people could do the same then I would be happy to use it.

What are your thoughts on this James. What would you do if you were me.

Grateful for your help.

Inboxing can be different for every email address you send to depending on how they interract with the email. You can get in inbox first send to a new sub but if they don't open then the rest will go to spam.

added later

You may consider reading up on SMTP so you can try using your own servers and services.

I have been looking into smtp2go so this is an option. However if I use an SMTP server then I would miss all other benefits like automation etc. Maybe there is software for this but then I open a new can of worms that will keep me busy for long time.

People have success with GetResponse or AWeber so I'm already in that direction so why change to another? This is also a reason why so many people fail in this business, they don't stick to something and try it thoroughly and just jump on the next can of worms. I think this would be a great video to make to my subscribers. :)

Maybe there is an option to use a external SMTP server in AWeber or GetResponse. I have not looked into it. Do you if that is possible?

Thanks Demian.

I did a check with https://mxtoolbox.com and I'm not in a blacklist so I should be fine.

I have changed all auto responders to use a text only version.

BTW Have anyone made tests with gmail or hotmail (outlook.com) to sign up to as many landing pages as possible and counted successful inboxing from getresponse vs aweber?

I think that would be a great thing to test.

As I mention I have a Cold and my head isn't 100%

This line:
I get them from my an online marketer and they don't land in my inbox

Should be:
I get them from an online marketer and they don't land in my spam box.

Sorry about that.

I can't say that, I also use GR (partly, as I have multiple AR's), sometimes my messages hit the spambox as well. As Kujtim is pointing out a lot of vendors send out that kind of shitty emails, I don't do that, I only send complete legit mails, I don't have a scammy funnel either (which a lot of vendors do too) and even sometimes I spambox - and sometimes I don't. You can test multiple factors, try DKIM/SPF records, watch out for spam related words like free/money etc and test :)

DKIM/SPF is done correctly. I added my own domain with ZOHO and they have a decent wizard that told me what to do.

Those spam related words. I get them from my an online marketer and they don't land in my inbox. I you sure about this? Have you done any testing?

Thanks for you response Demian

BTW I watched a video on youtube mainly GetResponse VS AWeber. I found someone that gave me some input on spam score in GetResponse.

I'm having this: SpamScore is: 1.64 Don't go over 5.00. So I thought I was pretty safe. But that guy said it was high.

So now I did a plain text version. I think it means that the email will reach both html and text based email services. Before I only reached HTML based servers.

Spam score for one email is not less than zero. Lets hope it will make a difference. It it does then I will change the rest of them.

BTW I have a big Cold while I type this so keep that in mind if my text is a bit confusing.

I did a typo:

Spam score for one email is not less than zero

Should be:

Spam score for one email is now less than zero. (I mean I tested this on one email)

Although all the responses above have some point,they forgot to tell you the truth...

The bitter truth

IT'S THE LEADS - THE LEADS YOU GOT FROM THE TRAFFIC YOU BOUGHT ARE DEAD...UNRESPONSIVE.

95% OF SOLO VENDORS SHARE ALMOST THE SAME LIST,BUY AND SELL TO EACH OTHER AND BEAT THE LIST TO DEATH IN ORDER TO GENERATE CLICKS...

In addition to that, they send deceptive swipes like this:

[20190418151010.png]

YES, THAT'S FROM SOLO VENDORS!

In comparison, below you will see what real,responsive traffic looks like:

[20190418151107.png]

This is from paid traffic,2 months old list of 719 subscribers.

What I would suggest you is to track every solo vendor separately.

Test and stick with those who will give you the best responsive subs...

Good luck

I carefully asked people around what seller the would recommend they have good luck with. No affiliate link sneaked in. The results from those sellers was about the same.

Lots of people report success.

Are the leads from those lists victims to massive promotion campaigns. Sure I belive that.

The titles in the examples are click bait. They come to my landing page and there is no congruence between the steps. The message is entirely different. Why is the sign up rate so high?

I have like 20% opt in and that is still low.

Have you checked your emails are not spamboxing? I always add myself to my lists to check if I spambox.

They often do for me but I don't know how much better it will be if I
switch to AWeber. People use GetResponse with their auto responder and I
have not been sending out to thousands of people. I have like 219
people on my list and open rate are like 3% on a good day. Have not done any cleaning yet because it has been like 7 days.
If you think switching will make a huge difference then I will do that ASAP.
What do you think?

What autoresponder are you using? That can have a lot to do with delivery.

Hi James :)

I'm using GetResponse and I'm planning to switch to AWeber.

Anders, think about this for a moment.

You need to find what your audience is looking for then supply them with a solution to their problem.

If I go to the Hardware Store and buy a shovel. It's not the shovel I want it's the hole it will dig for me.

So the problem is the hole, the solution is the shovel.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you John.

I think my mindset is in that direction.

I want to educate people so they know how to get to the end result. The success. The problem I see however is that people are indoctrinated to believe that money can be made quick and easy.

So how do you really sway them to not reach for the cat gold but educate them to find the real gold.

Anders, sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but honestly the first subject is too long, I got tired to read it.

And the second subject: "Why do you believe online marketing is complicated?" it's not charming at all. How do you know that your readers think online marketing is complicated? You suppose that they actually think it's complicated, but it may not be the case. So let's say I think online marketing is easy, I won't never open your email.

This is just my opinion, but I hope this helps.

Thanks Paolo.

Honesty is what makes me better.

I think you are right.

I did in a subject:
[Video 60 seconds] Powerful - Get input from people - Create Success!

The plan is to make the email body short and instead show a video recording about a good to have resource.

Let me know what you think Paulo

Thank you guys.

What typical strategy would you use for the subject line to connect with a video training.

I have subscribed to 10-15 lists to see what people write but it is not a video training. Instead, they have their own programs and offers and nothing that makes the audience any smarter. No educational content.

I could go on testing but if you share something so that I could do my testing more logical then I would really appreciate it.

Hey everyone.
I'm starting to worry a bit because I had everything planned out so perfectly. Instead of selling stuff directly I wanted people to get educated. So every email I'm creating is giving them a small education lesson and if they want to know more I give them the opportunity to join my free video training.

So now I'm beginning to worrying that the subject line is going to be a big problem. How can I design an interesting subject line that gets clicked without making it look like normal promotional Email swipe subject lines.

I know that my video training is good and the few people that watched my videos in previous campaigns stuck to them.

So here are some stats of what is currently happening.

I have sent to 120 people.
3 People have opened my email.

Subject line of the first email.
YouTube marketing is a Goldmine & Don't do what they say, do what they do.

No clicks.

I know subject is way to long but wanted to test it.

Subject Line of the second email:
Why do you believe online marketing is complicated?

So to wrap the question up:
How can I design my follow-ups so that they start watching my videos?

Grateful for any advice you can give me.
