Email Automation & Deliverability Service

Email automation services help businesses set up marketing automation, transactional email, cold outreach sequences, or improve email deliverability.

You might focus on implementation and strategy using existing platforms (ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, Customer.io), custom automation development, deliverability consulting and inbox placement optimization, or email template development.

Success requires deep knowledge of email platforms and best practices, understanding marketing automation strategy, technical email knowledge (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and client management.

Pricing includes project fees for automation setup ($1,000-10,000), monthly retainers for ongoing management ($500-3,000), hourly consulting ($100-250), or performance-based fees for deliverability improvements.

Projects involve auditing current email setup and strategy, designing automation flows and segmentation, implementing in client's email platform, creating or optimizing email templates, setting up proper authentication and infrastructure, and providing ongoing optimization and reporting.

Startup costs include email platform accounts for testing and learning, email deliverability tools, courses and certifications, portfolio development, and marketing totaling $2,000-8,000.

Building client base involves cold outreach to e-commerce and SaaS companies, content marketing about email marketing, partnerships with web developers and marketers, certification from email platforms (ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo), and case studies showing revenue or deliverability improvements.

Revenue comes from implementation projects, monthly management retainers, deliverability consulting, training and workshops, or potentially templates and courses.

Operating costs include email platform subscriptions, deliverability monitoring tools, continuing education, software subscriptions, and marketing.

Challenges include email platforms frequently update features, deliverability rules constantly changing (Gmail, Yahoo updates), clients may not provide quality content or strategy, attribution can be complex (proving email ROI), and competition from agencies and freelancers.

Success requires staying current on email best practices and platform updates, demonstrating clear ROI (revenue from automation, improved deliverability), focusing on specific niches (e-commerce, SaaS, B2B), combining technical and strategic expertise, and building systems and templates allowing efficient delivery.

Email marketing is critical for most businesses, creating consistent demand for expertise.
