About this site

When we set out to build our membership area we recorded everything just in case it turned into something helpful, and, well, it turned into a documentary. If you’re curious about how this site was built, what tools we used, and who worked on it, then this is for you. Watch The Migration Documentary.

Email FAQ

Keap, and specifically Max Classic, is one of the most powerful marketing automation tools out there, and at the core of that functionality is the ability to send emails. Everyone sends emails, but less than half actually understand the process that happens after you click send.

The technical process is a little more complex than some people realize. And you may not know this yet, but there are some very important steps you can and should be taking to ensure that the emails you send are safely arriving in the inbox.

Here’s the information Keap has on their help center regarding this subject. And here’s the best article I’ve seen on the subject from the original Infusionsoft Mastermind Jordan Hatch.

Now, this stuff can be rather technical, so if this isn’t your wheelhouse, and you don’t want to risk messing it up, that’s fine – you can totally hire someone to get this sorted out for you. I can happily recommend Mark Penney from Meppy, or Adrian Savage from WeDeliver.Email.
