It doesn't have to be fancy.
From where? - Namecheap or Godaddy
domains ending with .com or .co are best for email deliverability.
followed by .org > .net > .io domains. ref this.
Volume & Email Accounts
send a maximum of 50 emails per day per email account
using only 3 or a maximum of 5 emails per domain.
Purchase emails from Office 365.
Office 365 comparatively performs better & smoother than any other ESP.
Custom SMTP providers are not suggested.
Set up DNS records
When? - before doing anything on the new emails
Identify and remove Spammy words

Little humor will hit the long road
The subject line shall have between 1 to 3 words. 4 max to max.

Avoid using emojis in subject lines; it (psychologically) gives marketing vibes.
Simple & clean email copy
Links - 1 in an email is fine, but try to avoid using them all.
If a link is a must-have, add it in the second email (follow-up) instead of the first email.
Attachment - a big no
Images / GIFs - fine, but keep it as small as possible in size
Signature - use it without any formatting & links & images
No HTML. only text-based email.
Constant (biweekly) check-up
Keep a constant tab on deliverability.
