Hello tribe members :)
I’ve been wanting to write about how you can setup your own email server for a long time now but was just too lazy‌lol
So today I am going to outline the entire thing for you so that you can setup your own email servers and not worry about GetResponse or Aweber Bans.
Also, I am going to show you how to send MILLIONS OF EMAILS every single day, without breaking a sweat. Its not that hard actually; and I am going to try and make this as easy as possible for you.
What are Self Hosted Email Servers?
Basically these are email servers that you have full control over. 2

•
You can upload lists without verification,
•
You can delete subscribers,
•
You can choose your sender name & email addresses,
•
And there are NO BANS!
So all in all, if you’re a big email guy, your databases are clean and you have permission to mail the people on that database, self hosted email servers may be a great thing for you.
I personally have had enough of GetResponse and Aweber because of their bans and stupid reasons for the bans so I am at 90% self hosted solution now. And I have a good sized list :)
Disadvantages of a Self Hosted Email Server:
•
If you database is bad, your server IPs are going to be blacklisted = NO INBOXING! 3

If you’re just spamming, the way I teach you in this blog post is not going to work = DON’T SPAM!
•
It’s a little expensive than subscriber based systems like Aweber & GetResponse. With Self hosted you pay per email. But if you’re doing it right, you’re going to make more than enough to cover the bills and make a healthy profit.
•
If you use Amazon SES or Mandrill (which I do) it will be cheaper because there rates per email are downright ridiculous. With other SMTPs, the rates vary.
Tools Needed To Go Self-Hosted:
4
For More Cash Generating, No B.S Online Marketing Strategies; Visit: www.DigiFloss.com There are 2 parts to going self hosted with your emails. One is the email client that you use to create and manage the emails and the other is the SMTP server that you use to send out the emails.
Email Clients Recommendations:
1. Mail Jeet – Desktop based Software & very affordable.
2. Sendy – Server based solution with nice interface.
3. Interspire – (most expensive) Long Time Player in the email self hosted solution game, probably one of the best in the market today.
SMTP Services Recommended:
5
For More Cash Generating, No B.S Online Marketing Strategies; Visit: www.DigiFloss.com 1. Amazon SES – Avoid sending make money online offers with SES.
2. Mandrill – Super cheap to send out emails, but make sure your data is squeaky clean & always include unsubscribe link.
3. SendGrid – Great delivery rates but a little expensive if you want to send out millions of emails per month. But if you’re sending highly relevant information only a few times per month this is one of the best services on the planet.
I own and use all these services myself and I don’t recommend anything that I don’t personally use on this blog.

Process:
Once you have these tools installed on your server you just need to connect the 2 (Email Client & SMTP Servers). Every email client comes with instructions on how to install it on your server. MailJeet is a desktop client so it is easier to install (Covering the installation is beyond the scope of this blog post).
Sendy and Interspire are almost similar and take approximately the same amount of effort to install.

Let Me Break Down The Process Now:

4. Send out emails.
FAQ:
Question: Where do I find the SMTP information? Answer: That depends on the service you use. It is either going to be under SETTINGS or there is going to be a seperate option for SMTP CREDENTIALS (Mandrill & Amazon SES). Question: Where do I put the SMTP Credentials in the Email Tool I use? Answer: In most of the tools, it is going to be under ‘Sending Options’ or ‘Settings’. For the tools I recommend, check out the screenshots above. 11

Answer: Sure, to the upper right sidebar is a consultation call button, you only get charged for the time you spend on the phone with me. This is as close as you can get to 1 on 1 coaching with me. But instead of charging thousands of dollars, I charge only a few dollars and I help you out with your online business. Question: Which email client do you recommend? I recommend using Mail Jeet or Sendy
Sending Emails:
Once you connect the SMTP and the Email Client, all you have to do is create email and send.

Ninja Email Hack – How To Guarantee Inboxing (Email Delivery)
This is so basic that it grinds my gears that people don’t use this often. All you really have to do is create a small test list & before you send out email to your entire list you just test it and see if it inboxes on your test list. 15
For More Cash Generating, No B.S Online Marketing Strategies; Visit: www.DigiFloss.com
A test list has 1 gmail, 1 hotmail, 1 aol, 1 yahoo and 1 mail.com account.
That is it, create a list with 5 email addresses and send to this test list first to see if it inboxes in all the major ESPs (email service providers) and if it does, send it to the entire list.
If not change the elements in the email like sender email, sender name, email links etc. and test it out until it inboxes. This almost guarantees your email delivery to the inbox.
Tomorrow I am going to write a post about email open rate boosters so come back tomorrow to read about it. I am pretty sure you’re going to love it if you’re an email marketer.
