Day 25: I Manage Email Lists for US E-Commerce Brands — Rs.80,000/Month Retainer Work from Pakistan
🏷 Email Marketing · Mailchimp · ConvertKit · ActiveCampaign · ESP · US Clients
Email marketing has an average ROI of Rs.6,000 for every Rs.100 spent — the highest of any marketing channel. Yet most small e-commerce brands have email lists they never use. I set up and manage their email system for Rs.80,000/month retainer.
What the Service Includes
• Email service provider setup (Mailchimp/Convert Kit / Active Campaign).
• Welcome sequence automation (5–7 emails that converts new subscribers).
• Weekly campaign writing and scheduling.
• Abandoned cart recovery flow setup.
• Monthly analytics report: open rates, click rates, revenue attributed.
How to Get Certified for Free
Mailchimp Academy, HubSpot Email Marketing Certification, and Active Campaign's own training are all free and take 1–3 days to complete. Certificates are recognized by international clients on Upwork.
Client Acquisition Approach
Target Shopify store owners with 1,000–10,000 subscribers who are not running email campaigns. Search on LinkedIn for "Shopify store owner" or "e-commerce founder." Pitch: "You are leaving Rs.300,000+ monthly on the table from your email list."
The Rs.1,000+/Month Math
3 clients at $300/month retainer each = $900/month (Rs.250,000). This is achievable within 60–90 days of consistent outreach. Start with Pakistani e-commerce brands to build a portfolio.
