Are you being ghosted by your email list?
Today I welcome email strategist and business coach Karen Grill to walk us through the critical 2025 updates to email deliverability. From SPF and DKIM to domain-based email protocols, Karen breaks it all down in plain language, and gives you the roadmap to keep your emails landing in inboxes (not spam folders).
Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting to build your list, this conversation is your signal to pause, reset, and get your email game back on track, before your list stops listening for good.
Key Takeaways:
- You must authenticate your domain: Use SPF, DKIM, and DMARC or risk your emails going to spam.
- Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft: All are actively penalizing senders who don’t follow new protocols.
- Mass marketing emails from a Gmail.com address: Is a no-go domain-based email is essential.
- Email service providers (like MailChimp or Kajabi) won’t protect you: Unless your domain is properly authenticated.
- Segmenting your audience is a critical step: Sending irrelevant emails can tank your sender reputation.
- Open rates can be misleading: Track click-throughs and replies too.
- If you notice a drop in performance: Stop sending emails immediately and investigate your metrics.
- Avoid broadcast-only strategies: Treat your list like individuals, not numbers.
- Use AI to support, not replace, your writing: Your voice, your individuality and connection matter.
- Schedule a monthly deliverability check-in: Prevent long-term damage to your sender reputation.
