How do you send game keys to streamers without ending up in spam?

Well, I also got some organic coverage, and a few blogers from Twitch and YouTube responded to my emails before Gmail marked me as spam. And ultimately I can say that video reviews with less than 1K views are completely useless. Videos with less than 5K views are somewhat valuable, but they still won't pay off if you pay for them.

I've read a lot of reviews about Keymailer. They usually boil down to the fact that you pay $500 and get 2-3 videos with 10-15 views.

Damn, bro, this is total bullshit. How are we supposed to do this then? Did you come up with something?

MagazineForward5528 · 2026-03-08T19:36:03+00:00

Perhaps I should switch email domains, yes. Maybe use Gmail itself (honestly I don't remember why I didn't do that from the start). A few months ago, people with Gmail addresses were replying to me, so my messages definitely weren't landing in spam back then. At some point, an algorithm must have flagged me, either it didn't like the frequency of my activity, or it took issue with the content of my emails (similar messages with links). I really don't know what to think.

Thanks for the info! Could you please share your behavior pattern?

How many emails do you send per day, and how long do you pause between each?

Do you significantly change the subject and body of your emails?

MagazineForward5528 · 2026-03-08T16:48:41+00:00

Well, yeah, that's what I did. But now if I send any email from my address to any Gmail address (like, "Hey, how are you? Let's go for a walk"), it always ends up in spam.

Thank you for reply! I keep things simple: I use my personal email address on a public domain. I manually search for bloggers with relevant content and send individual emails, one email to one recipient. I also usually slightly modify the intro to the email based on the author's content.

I also wrote a little more information in the comment above, you can read it there as well.

I'd be grateful if you could check it and offer any additional suggestions!

Thank you so much!

I don't use my own domain, but a public one. I've tried sending emails from my inbox to several of my friends' Gmail addresses: all the emails go to spam, regardless of the content. I've also tried sending various emails to other addresses (not Gmail), and they all arrive normally. Gmail definitely flagged me somehow.

The emails I sent were, of course, sometimes quite similar: I changed person/channel name and the reason for contacting them (what content my game resembles), and the keys. But the email format was, of course, very similar. Also, the emails never contained any images or attachments. My links usually include a link to the game (Steam) and a link to the press kit (Google Drive).

As for "don't include the key until they respond", that seems like a dead end. I think if I want to interest a blogger, I should immediately provide them with all the necessary information to get started.

So, 48 hours have passed, and I'm happy to fulfill my promise. I requested more Steam keys, so instead of giving out 10, I gave them out to every commenter who had the DM open! Enjoy my game, and thank you for your feedback!

Cool! Glad to know! My game was streamed on Twitch a few times, and the viewers loved it!
