Hi

I use Getresponse. I don't think we need to authenticate . In "from", i have given email address from my site and not gmail/yahoo etc.

Initially, my mails also used to go to spam folder, probably being very new name. But later on, it automatically improved and now they go to "Inbox".

I think if few people mark it as "not spam", then mail servers identify it as "good" mails and start to send them to "inbox". And may be reverse is also true. If many people mark it as "spam", then it will start going to spam folder.

Hope that helps.

Regards
Uma

I use Get Response. I've never had to authenticate any site with DNS because it's mainly an autoresponder where you automate your email to your list and you can create landing pages to build your email list

I use Aweber.
There is a learning curve to master all functionality but reliability is superb. It is also compatible with almost all there is of theme- and plugin add-ons for CTA and lead pages.

They are both email providers, so it comes down to deliver rates and from all data I have seen I have seen that both get pretty good delivery rates with Aweber.com being marginally better.

GetResponse has 'lead style" pages that you can use, so if these are advantageous to you, you might want to consider them.

Any shared hosting has the risk of the IP address being banned and the emails ending up in the spam folder. You'll need to choose between a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a paid email service such as Aweber.

Mail Poet is a good free alternative to Mail Chimp as long as you have a VPS.

And you should keep your site here in WA because the hosting is awesome. And make sure you turn on your SSL and siteSpeed features too. :)

Use Aweber and connect it to the Sumome plugin. You can do everything with it from pop-ups to bar sign-up forms, etc. You'll see when you get to use it :) I was also having problems with MailChimp so I ditched it for Aweber. Plus, Aweber is what the pros use so that's what we need to be using too since we're pros too, lol :)

Hope this helps :)

These are the top 5 commercially available. For something as valuable as a landing page price can weigh in! https://www.designbombs.com/top-landing-page-plugins-wordpress/

There are many solutions out there, but it can be difficult to decide which might work best...

I just added some training a few days ago on a WP alternative setup you can implement for free (always good)...

Here is the link: Building A Sales Funnel Using Wordpress Ask any questions you may have there in the comment section, there is a lot of discussions already...

I will be updating and adding more 'meat' to that training too...

The goal is to have a complete set of features that you get with those overpriced services like Clickfunnels ($299 a month????)...

Cheers!
