Do you have a new email list? Follow these methods to validate it for free

Everyone wants to start his email marketing business and to do that a lot only think about having or subscribing to an email marketing service to build their email lists and then start sending emails

Of course, all these things are important if you want to be successful in email marketing but there are other important things no one gives attention to it like writing the perfect email or validating the email addresses and this is what we will talk about in this article

What is email validation?

Email validation simply is a very important step that came after building an email list to ensure that the email addresses in this email list are valid, deliverables, and have a reliable domain name like Gmail

So let's say it in another way, you may notice this matter when you keep sending emails but you discover that the CTR or click-through rate for your emails is very low and that means your emails addresses may be invalid

The relationship between the CTR and email validation

If you notice I said if your emails are invalid, your email CTR will be low so let's see what is the relationship between these two things

Let's say you built an email list and you are very happy with it but this list has many invalid email addresses and then you decided to run an email campaign for this list, what will happen here, is that you will get hard bounces for the invalid emails

Wait second, hard bounces? What's that?

A hard bounce indicates a permanent reason that prevents your campaigns from reaching your customer's inbox (it can't be delivered)

Now you may ask yourself if I get a hard bounce for the invalid email addresses and couldn't reach them, Will my campaigns be delivered to valid email addresses?

Well, here comes the bad news, if you get a hard bounce, your email deliverability will be decreased even for the valid email addresses So your campaign won't reach their inbox

To make everything clear for you, you should know that the hard bounce will impair your sender's reputation and this will reduce the ability to deliver your emails

How to validate an email address?

There are tons of tools that help you with this matter but in my case, I want to talk about the zero bounce tool. This tool gives you a lot of information about your subscribers Like their names, gender, and location. Also, you can segment your list for laser-focused campaigns

Once you get an email address visit this tool and validate it for free but to be honest with you, this tool allows you to verify up to 100 email addresses per month and if you want more you should buy a plan but I will show you how to validate more emails with this tool for free

Copy my method to validate more emails for free

To be more specific we won't validate more emails, instead, we will exclude some emails before validating them through zero bounce

So now I will tell you what valid & invalid emails look like so when you face one of the invalid emails, automatically delete it from your email list so you can place another email address in zero bounce to check if it's valid or not

Let's take this valid email for example Technobrary5@gmail.com

You can see that this email address consists of two parts, the first part is (Technobrary5@) and the second part is (gmail.com)

 

After understanding these two parts let's talk about how each part of them looks like in the "valid" email address

The first part contains:

uppercase & lowercase (Technobrary)

symbols like @,-,_ [Techobrary5(@)]

Dot

Numbers which is 5 in our example

Full stop

The second part contains:

Dots

Hyphens

Digits

Letters

For the invalid email address:

Now after finishing what valid email addresses look like, let's talk about the invalid email address form with examples to make everything clear for you

The invalid email address contains:

Consecutive dots (Technobrary5..@gmail.com)

The second part starts with a dot (technobrary5@.gmail.com)

 don't have @ symbol (Technobrary5.gmail.com)

.com

symbols

So if you see an email address like that just delete it from your email list because it's not valid and by doing that you will be able to validate more email addresses in zero bounce

Conclusion:

Email validation is very important to be a successful email marketer and there are a lot of tools that help you validate your emails so we show you a tool you can use with a method to maximize your results
