I use gmail to send both epub and mobi versions to my Library Thing giveaways, usually 25 people, and I rarely have problems with it.
So you sent them 1by1?Allyson Jeleyne said:I used gmail. I sent out individual emails with epub mobi and pdf attached. I had no trouble.
Doesn't that take forever though? I just sent out a mass e-mail with a coupon code to Smashwords. But then, I usually had 50-100 winners.Augusta Blythe said:I send mine individually as well. I email each winner congratulating her/him and then ask which format they would prefer.
I pasted and it automatically sets each as an individual address. I tried sending sending myself an email and it works. I think mail.com is just not a good solution. I liked their custom addresses. I chose writeme.com but now I am in the process of trying again on my Gmail.Daniel Dennis said:When you set it up, did you separate with commas or semicolons?
Not at all. I send the same message so it's mostly pasting and adding the email address from a spreadsheet I make of the winners' details. I also save it as a job I can do while watching TV so it's not done in lieu of writing time. Like Allyson said, it makes it feel more personal and I've picked up a number of dedicated readers this way. While not a necessity, it feels nice.HezBa said:Doesn't that take forever though?
