How to Send Bulk Emails using Gmail (Free!) | NeuMails

Sending bulk emails through Gmail isn't the most efficient method for several reasons, including Gmail's limitations on the number of emails you can send per day and the potential for your account to be flagged for spam. However, if you're set on using Gmail for bulk emails, here's a general guide to help you do it:

1. Compose a New Email: Log in to your Gmail account and click on the "Compose" button to start a new email.

2. Create Your Email Content: Write your email content in the body of the email. Make sure it's engaging, relevant, and personalized if possible.

3. Add Recipients: Instead of typing each recipient's email address individually, you can create a mailing list by clicking on the "To" field and selecting contacts from your Gmail contacts list. Alternatively, you can copy and paste a list of email addresses into the "Bcc" field to keep recipients' addresses private.

4. Avoid Spam Triggers: Make sure your email content doesn't trigger spam filters. Avoid using spammy words, excessive punctuation, or using all caps in your subject line and email body.

5. Send a Test Email: Before sending your email to your entire list, send a test email to yourself and a few other email addresses to check formatting, links, and ensure it's displaying correctly.

6. Send Your Bulk Email in Batches: Gmail has a sending limit, usually around 500 emails per day for regular Gmail accounts. To avoid hitting this limit and risking your account being flagged for spam, send your bulk email in smaller batches over multiple days.

7. Monitor Responses and Analytics: Keep track of email open rates, click-through rates, and responses to measure the effectiveness of your email campaign. You can use tools like Google Analytics or third-party email tracking services to gather this data.

Remember, using Gmail for bulk email marketing isn't recommended for large-scale campaigns. Consider using dedicated email marketing software like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, neuMails, or Sendinblue, which are designed specifically for sending bulk emails and offer more advanced features and analytics. These services often have free plans with limitations that may be suitable for smaller businesses or individuals just starting with email marketing.
