Build a Newsletter That Actually Gets Opened
I set up newsletter infrastructure from scratch. Platform selection, template design, automation sequences, opt-in forms, and deliverability optimization. I’ve run my own newsletter since 2018 and sent 400,000+ emails. I know what gets opened and what hits spam.
Hire me and my team at Gatilab for newsletter setup backed by 800+ client projects and 8 years of running my own list.
- Platform selection: ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or Mailchimp
- Custom email template design that matches your brand
- Welcome sequence and onboarding automation
- High-converting opt-in forms and landing pages
- Deliverability audit and DNS authentication
- Subscriber segmentation and tagging strategy
Your Newsletter Isn’t Broken. It Was Never Set Up Right.
I see this constantly. A business signs up for Mailchimp, sends a few blasts with the default template, gets 12% open rates, and decides email doesn’t work. It does work. The foundation was just wrong from day one.
Wrong platform choice
You picked the cheapest tool instead of the right one. Now you’re fighting your own email platform.
No automation
Every email is manual. No welcome sequence, no segmentation, no triggers. You’re doing busywork.
Deliverability issues
No SPF, no DKIM, no DMARC. Your emails land in promotions tabs or spam folders. Nobody tells you.

How I Work
Discovery
You tell me your audience, goals, and current email situation. I recommend the right platform.
Setup
I configure your platform, design templates, set up DNS authentication, and build your tagging system.
Automation
I write and build your welcome sequence, opt-in forms, and any trigger-based flows you need.
Launch
I test deliverability, run a seed list check, and hand you a 30-day content plan to keep momentum.
Proof and Outcomes
Set up a ConvertKit instance for a SaaS blog that was stuck at 400 subscribers on Mailchimp. Migrated the list, rebuilt templates, added 3 opt-in forms, and built a 5-email welcome sequence. Open rates went from 14% to 38% in 6 weeks. List grew to 2,100 subscribers in 4 months.

FAQs
Have a question not listed here? Get in touch and I’ll respond within 24 hours.
Which email platform do you recommend?
It depends on your goals. ConvertKit is best for creators and bloggers. Beehiiv is great for newsletter-first businesses. Mailchimp works for e-commerce. I’ll recommend based on your situation, not a commission.
Can you migrate my existing list?
Yes. I handle list exports, re-tagging, cleaning bounced addresses, and re-authentication on the new platform. Most migrations take 2-3 days.
Do you write the email content too?
I write the welcome sequence and set up templates. Ongoing content is yours, but I’ll give you a 30-day calendar and subject line framework to start strong.
