Special Interspire plugin that allows you to exclude lists when mailing

JVZoo – you can then exclude all the emails that bought your promo under the JV Request page by connecting with autoresponder and then export them out to Interspire so you don’t remail people who already bought
JVZoo OTOs – put it in each stage of the funnel so that you can only mail those that bought FE but not OTO
Use GetResponse for lead collection but then delete them so you don’t go over the 2,500 threshold
Guide to importing 10,000 leads over:
- Get your most active and best users (past 1 month & have clicked) from GetResponse and import that in one CSV
- Email them a few bonuses and replay emails
- Don’t email promos to list for a month and then move the entire list to Interspire
- Recommend Sendgrid for now
- If you are using two autoresponders side-by-side make sure you import all the unsubscribes to Interspire from GetResponse especially after a launch so you don’t email them which will negatively affect your reputation
Put “send this email address from” support@
Have a bounce address & don’t email bounced addresses
Goes into a queue because of chron job running in the background every 5 minutes but can be reduced to 1 minute cycles

Questionnaire sent to all my interspire Fiverr contacts before hiring:
Hi, I had a number of questions I wanted to ask as I’m deciding between which fiverr vendor to place an order with. I am a very technical web developer but have minimal experience with self-hosted email. My intention is to use interspire with elastic email or sendgrid for marketing email (not transactional). My list I wish to import are prior paying customers who have already opted in via GetResponse. Recently GR has had poor deliverability. I have sent hundreds of emails to thousands of subs via GR in the past over years so I do have that type of email marketing experience.
1. I have a nulled copy of Interspire & Powermta from the vault. IEM 6.1.3 – have you worked with these before? Wanted to confirm there would be no issue before proceeding.
2. Would you recommend using sendgrid, elasticemail or someone else for SMTP service?
3. At my main doman which I also would like IEM hosted at – I intend to have a wordpress site there as well. Will you changing A records or anything cause any issues with me hosting a wordpress site at same server as IEM?
4. I would like DKIM and those other things, is that something you can do as well?
5. Can you tell me why someone would want something like powerMTA and maborak addons? Or perhaps some link you may have explaining why someone like me would want that? My friend uses IEM by self so was curious the added benefit?
6. I currently use liquidweb for hosting, is there a different host you would recommend for this? Remember the emails wouldn’t be coming from my host ip since I’d be using sendgrid or elasticemail, this question is just regarding hosting of the IEM software.
