Day 0 to Day 5: standing up an outreach campaign that doesn't get flagged

Day 0 to Day 5: standing up an outreach campaign that doesn't get flagged
Reply rate on a properly warmed domain runs 8-12% vs 2-3% on a cold one — a 4x gap measured across 340 campaigns. The warmup is the campaign.

— Day 0: buy a separate sending domain (not your money site), set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC
— Day 1: create 2 inboxes max per domain, real names, real signatures
— Day 1-3: warmup tool at 5 sends/day climbing to 30
— Day 3: scrape and clean list, verify emails (bounce rate must land under 3%)
— Day 4: write 3 subject-line variants, all under 6 words
— Day 5: launch at 20/inbox/day ceiling, never higher

Bounce over 5% on send one means your list, not your copy, is the problem — pause and re-verify.

Sample: 340 cold campaigns tracked, 2022-2024. Reply lift is consistent across niches.
Cap sends at 30/inbox/day permanently; volume buys you a spam folder, not links.
