💰 CONTEST: What would YOU charge here?
Here's a real fractional CMO opportunity that landed on my desk. 🤔 What would YOU charge if you were pitching this client, based on the details I have here? - It's an online test-prep SaaS. Subscription model, people pay to pass a professional licensing exam. - Small but real niche. Not a million-a-month industry. The owner knows that. - Right now it's basically off the ground but barely moving. Tiny revenue, almost nothing spent on ads, no one steering marketing. It's run day-to-day by a single offshore dude. - The owner's goal: $30,000/month within about 6 months. - He's willing to spend real money on ads to get there. That's what you get for free. ❓ Ask any questions you have in the comments. Whoever sends me the best "pitch" for pricing and structure on this deal wins a copy of Raze Your Rates, my finished but yet-to-launch report on how I raised my marketing rates from $25 to $250+ per hour (and rising).
Contest: Rare Reading Recommendations
TLDR; Win one of my favorite books. Deadline Thursday, June 3, 2026 at 11:59 Eastern Time. Read anything good recently? Something that’s not very mainstream, but nonetheless entertained you, made you feel something, or taught you something. I don’t want recommendations for bestsellers or Kindle pirate werewolf romance smut. Whichever THREE people send me the best recommendations win a fantastic prize. 👉 I will mail you a copy of the most surprising and entertaining book on influence I’ve read in the past 10 years. (No, it’s not Influence by Cialdini. That would be lame.) You don’t need to be a marketer to get value out of this book—in fact, I believe it should be required reading for every business owner and digital entrepreneur. Let me have your recommendations—top three contestants by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on June 3 WIN. Drop a comment in this thread to participate (email replies don’t count):

Your travel plans
I talk about traveling a lot. In fact, one of the biggest drivers for me to make money is so we can spend it on travel. What about you? Do you have any upcoming travel plans?
What’s the best money you ever made from a one-time thing?
Stealing this from a Reddit post I saw this morning—what’s the best money you ever made from a one-off thing? Like flipping something, hitting a trend at the right time, taking advantage of a loophole? I’ve got three off the top of my head: 1. Got paid $800 to fill out a questionnaire and click buttons on a computer for an hour. Clinical trial at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, 2014. 2. Put $250 into a meme coin and flipped it for $2,000 the next morning. 2021. 3. Some of the Upwork gigs I had at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025. First one that comes to mind is $1,000 for home page copy that took me 1.5 hours, but didn’t wind up turning into a long-term project…because the client got banned from Upwork. What about you?
