- What's up guys.
So today I'm gonna review Mailcheck.co
and this is basically a way to validate your mailing list.
So if you gonna send that cold emails,
to be honest, a lot of them are gonna bounce, right.
Because people move on,
they leave the company,
maybe the email address wasn't spelled correctly
in the first place,
or even the email is supplied is a spam trap.
So, there are all these ways that your email could bounce.
And the beauty of mailcheck.co
is that you can basically validate
emails before you send them,
and if you validate before you send them,
you gonna reduce your bounce rates
and as you reduce your bounce rates,
your overall deliverability
and results from cold email will improve.
So that's exactly how mailcheck can help you,
and just takes a few minutes to do.
We gonna run through exactly how it works,
why you should use it,
and whether it's a good tool or not for this process.
So if you wanna sign in,
all you have to do is click on sign up,
or you can do a trial here.
I've actually got an account already
so I'm going to click sign in,
and then I'm going to show you how this tool works, right.
So we've got the dashboard over here
and here you can do a quick validation.
So, basically if you just have like one email address,
you wanna quickly validate,
you can type it in here.
So let's say for example,
let's use one of my other email addresses.
We gonna hit in validate over here.
It's gonna take a little bit of time to load,
and then once that's done,
it's gonna tell us all details
about this email address, right.
So, the checked email, does exist yes, SMTP, yes.
The trust rate.
Now this is quite an important metric
when it comes to mailcheck.
Basically, this gives you an estimate
of how trustworthy that email address is.
So is it likely to bounce as you know,
this is a score of a 100%
and 90% It's pretty high,
To be honest, anything over 80 or 90% sounds pretty good,
and chances are you can use this email adress
to start sending emails too.
So that's just for one off quick validations.
Now if you want to verify a bulk email list,
you can do that here.
You can actually take the email addresses from Mailchimp
or Reply.IO, or you can do a direct upload
and that's what we gonna do in this video.
So we'll click direct upload,
and then from here,
you can upload your file of email addresses.
So let's run through an example.
All right, so let's say you've already got a magical list
of prospects on Google drive, for example,
and you've got a bunch of email addresses here,
but you're not sure are they gonna bounce or not.
I wanna verify them basically
and make sure that they don't bounce
before I send them, right.
So go to file, download,
download them as a CSV over here
and then you can upload it to Mailchimp like this, right.
Now, as see you can see their head is at the top
so we wanna omit the first line.
Basically, we wanna mailcheck to ignore the first line
because it's not a valid sign of data,
as you can see, you can map out the columns here.
So, we've got the email addresses in column three,
so that's already mapped out
and that's the data that we need,
and then what you can do if this is a CSV
and the data has been separated by commas or full stop
so that sort of thing,
you can click on specify delimiter here.
But as you can see on this example,
the data is already laid out nicely.
It's already in a good format,
so I don't need to specify any delimiters,
and then once I'm ready to go,
I click send file over here,
that's gonna load for a little bit,
and now we can go to uploaded files
because the file was successfully uploaded.
So, we've got the spreadsheet is loaded.
We know when it was added,
and now it's time to process that, right?
So that's gonna take a little bit of time
simply because it takes a while
for each email address to be validated
and verified to make sure that actually works.
So what we can do is wait for that to load
and then come back later.
Now, in the upload section,
I will say the UI is not that great,
to be honest in terms of this tool.
However, is fairly simple to use.
Although it's not coming with
any sort of bells and whistles,
it's easy to use, it takes a couple
of minutes to save the files,
and as you can see is great for validating addresses
before you start sending emails.
Now, also you can play around in your settings too,
so you can select or change your plan for pricing.
You can edit your profile,
you can see how much usage you've had so far
in terms of validating email addresses,
and also your current billing period and when that ends.
Now if you go to API, he can actually create some API keys.
You can set up some quick validation,
and it's got some details on how to set API.
So, if you're into that,
but for most people they're just gonna be using this section
and bulk uploading like this.
Something that's super important for me,
when I'm uploading my dresses is a customer support rep.
So, you get customer support down there, it's a live chat,
and then I'm also gonna compare this with clearout.
So clearout is another service
I use for email validations,
and you can see they have a live chat feature too.
So, I wanna know which one replies sooner,
let's do a little test, right?
Sort of say hey, how long will my list take to validate?
We gonna ask them there,
and we'll see who replays fastest,
and so coming back a couple of minutes later,
I actually still haven't received a reply
from the online customer support at MailChimp,
but actually clear out replied
within like a couple of minutes.
So to be honest,
the customer service doesn't seem to be that fast.
I still haven't received a reply here,
but on clearout this seems to be a lot quicker
in responding to responses.
Maybe that's because we've got bigger team
or something like that.
But what I will say is that from time to time
problems come up and live customer service
is really important.
So that's just something to be aware of
when it comes to validating
and how we get in on our upload is ready to go.
So lets check on the results and click download here.
So that's given us a CSV
and then we cannot load that in Google Sheets
and check the results.
Alright, so let's go to import, upload,
drag the file in here and let's see how the results are.
So replace kind of sheet and there you have it.
So these are results of the email addresses
that we actually validated,
and then we get the trust right here.
So, like I say, anything above 89%, I would probably send
anything above 50, probably okay to be honest.
But for me, I like to be safe.
I like to reduce my bounce rates as much as possible,
and so what we can do
is sort the data by the trust rate.
So if we sought it by trust rate here.
So by Z-A
then you can see which email dresses are scoring
really low and don't have a decent trust rate,
and therefore you probably wouldn't use,
and then which email addresses you can definitely use
as you can see here.
So it gives us a nice clean Excel spreadsheet expo
of the email address, the trust rate,
and whether you can actually use email.
Now, if I was going to start sending an email addresses
to these people,
what I would do
is go down to anything below 80
and just delete it,
and now I have a nice list of validating my adresses.
I can start cold emailing.
Now in terms of pricing,
we've got the prices over here.
So you get write down at the packages.
So you can do $10 per month
if he just have a thousand emails to be validated.
So to be honest, the average user I'm gonna be validated
like a thousand emails or less per month.
So that's pretty reasonable price.
For the agency, 5,000 emails to validate $30 per month.
So you had a better deal as you can see here.
So you can see that as you spent more,
you saved more money on the price per validation,
and then you've got like the enterprise package.
To be honest from a link domination agency,
I have so many clients from link building
and link built an outreach.
I would have to use this package so $90 per month.
But with that, you get 20,000 emails
to validate a decent charge per validation credit.
So not bad at all.
So thanks for watching guys.
