I've just negotiated an exclusive deal with Sean Ferres to help you potentially secure one of those lucrative CS gigs… lucrative as in 5 grand plus 3% commish… by the Monday after next, that's November 16 2026. Are you paying attention? Here's the offer. For $29 you will get… Creative Strategist Starter Pack 7 modules, 90 minutes. Why brands suddenly need 25 to 50 ads, the 6-stage system the job runs on, and the 1 sentence that moves you from $500 gigs to $5K-12K retainers. The Retainer Radar Find brands spending $50K+ a month on ads in minutes and spot the ones bleeding cash on tired creative before anyone else does. The No-Portfolio Pitch 3 copy-paste messages dozens of beginners have used to land their first clients with zero portfolio. (They work even better the less experience you have.) The Winning Statics Playbook Copy-paste prompts that pump out 25 banger static ads before lunch. No design skills needed. (If you can take a screenshot, you're overqualified.) The LinkedIn Client Magnet Set up your LinkedIn so founders message YOU first. It's the 2-word change that got Neil 400+ job opportunities. (He had so many, he had to change it back.) 7 Day Fast Start Plan One 20 to 40 minute task a day, so by day 7 you're holding finished ads for a real brand instead of a folder of notes. Good enough for you? But that's the core offer, not the deal. This is the deal. Only for friends of Nabeel… If you join before midnight Monday November 9 you will also get: The First-Week Quick Wins Playbook How to get a new client results in your first week, so they keep paying you every month. Taught by Sean's head coach Sam, who has generated over $100M in sales with his ads. Plus the exact outreach he uses to land those clients. This is a members-only training from Sean's $3,997 CMB 3.0 program. The $10 Song Ad Machine Sam's new song ad is running at a 5x ROAS ($5 back for every $1 spent). He made it in one sitting with $10 of AI tools. He shows you how to make one, then how to sell it to brands for Black Friday and land paid clients.

OFFER > Everything. I just launched a bunch of BFCM-themed ads to our retargeting pool. And they all sell our annual membership, which is $300 per year. That's a 50% savings compared to a monthly membership and you'll save $300. Side point: Why haven't you upgraded to annual membership? Isn't this an epic offer? 50% off compared to what? Save $300 vs spending how much? Even if these are objectively great deals, and they 100% are, the thing is you don't want anyone to do any kind of mental arithmetic. And there's a psychological difference between saving X% and getting Y free. 6 months free sounds WAY better than 50% off. So it seems quite obvious now that's what we should've done from the beginning with our cold traffic campaign. Make the offer the primary selling point. The creative and copy will naturally target copywriters. But if we want to sell to copywriters who have never heard of Matthew Volkwyn or Nabeel Azeez... and we can't make income claims... we need to hammer the offer into their brains. And the economics work in our favour too. Right now our CAC is around $90. If a new member buys a monthly subscription we lose $40 on month one and have to wait until their rebill to break even. And some people cancel during their trial or cancel during their first month. So when that happens with a paid traffic customer, we don't recoup our costs. Now, if that same member buys an annual subscription, we collect $300 up front and profit $210. And they're less likely to cancel their trial if by doing so they lose “6 months free.” Oh and by the way, this same calculus applies to your affiliate commissions. By pushing annual membership, you collect your commission for the entire year up front. So from now on, in every creative you produce, make sure the offer is mentioned. Buy 6 months, get 6 months free. 6 months free with annual membership. And we can also test the other versions. 50% off annual membership. Save $300 with annual membership (50% off). But the main one, the one that will be easiest for people to understand, is some version of "get 6 months free."

I started as a LinkedIn ghostwriter. Then I saw a chance to help my client start a newsletter for his business. I pitched the idea and added email marketing to my services. I never expected planning his whole marketing strategy to be this hard. What began as a newsletter project grew into refining his offer, figuring out his messaging, and writing marketing materials I had never worked on before. At one point, I had to pause writing because we still needed to finalize his offer. 😌 That’s when I saw how much the offer affects everything else. I had to understand his business better and figure out what came first before I could keep writing. It’s been a crazy roller coaster learning to be a marketing strategist for the first time. I’m still figuring things out as I go. I’m thankful I joined this group and get to learn from the best. I’ll share my work for feedback once I finish writing everything. And also, that’s why I’m holding off on the Creative Strat Challenge for now. I want to build more confidence in email marketing first, and I’m working on that right now. 🔥

I was watching the Upwork video that @Waisale Naqiolevu linked under my post... I'm am taking action on it and completing my profile but something I still need is a couple bootstraped reviews. Anyone willing to help will be much appreciated.
