Done for you email marketing means a provider handles campaign production while you supply accurate facts and approve the send.
The label has no fixed scope, so define “done” in writing.
What a complete service does
- Collects the offer, audience, dates, links, and claims.
- Chooses a useful angle and writes the message.
- Designs and builds it in your email platform.
- Checks links, audience, sender details, and unsubscribe tools.
- Shows the finished campaign for written approval.
- Sends it and explains basic opens and clicks.
You should own the platform account, subscriber list, consent records, templates, and reports.
Providers receive access; they should not own your sending history.
What may cost extra
Platform setup, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, migrations, list cleaning, large automations, complex segmentation, landing pages, photography, and paid acquisition are commonly separate.

First-month checklist
Week one gathers access and facts. Week two delivers a complete draft. Week three covers one consolidated revision round, checks, approval, and the first send.
Week four reports the available data and plans the next topic. A typical first approval takes 7-10 business days after access and information arrive.
Compare responsibility, not labels
A freelancer can provide a complete managed service, but may also sell copy-only projects. An agency may add strategy, automation, and team coverage.
A flat service fixes a narrower cadence and fee.
Freelance Nation reports $1,500 to $5,000 monthly specialist retainers. GetResponse reports agencies at $2,500 to $10,000 or more.
Lite is $59 USD/month for two campaigns, written, designed, and sent in the client's platform.
It includes one consolidated revision round per campaign and approval before sending.
Platform fees and technical setup are excluded. The service is founder-run and new, with no testimonials or case studies.
Who should use it
It fits an owner with a permission-based list, useful customer news, and an irregular sending routine.
It is a poor fit for purchased lists, daily ecommerce production, or complex revenue attribution.
