That is why I start with email and go further into it than most marketers do. I plan the campaigns, write them, build the funnels that feed the list, and set up the sending records so the messages land in an inbox instead of a spam folder. I have been doing this for over five years, inside agency teams and directly with clients.
Strategy, copywriting, funnels, offer launches and the technical build underneath.
The strategy lives with a consultant. The copy comes from a freelancer. The funnel is a developer's job. Deliverability belongs to nobody until the open rate falls off a cliff. Four people, four invoices, and not one of them able to see the whole thing.
The strategist writes a plan that nobody on the team can actually execute.
The copywriter writes to a brief that misreads who the buyer is.
The developer builds the funnel exactly as specified, and it converts badly.
The emails land in spam, and everyone agrees it must be the copy.
I do all four. When something breaks there is nobody to point at, and nothing gets lost between the people who were meant to hand it over.
Most clients start with one thing and expand. You are welcome to take only the piece you are missing, and I will tell you honestly if that is not the piece holding you back.
Most people who say they do email marketing mean they write the emails. I mean the whole channel. I set up the platform, authenticate the sending domain, clean and segment the list, build the automations, write every campaign that goes out, and read the numbers afterwards to work out what to change.
If you already have a list, the first job is finding out why it is underperforming, because it is almost never the subject lines. If you do not have a list yet, building it properly is where we start, on infrastructure that will not fall over when it grows.
The plan comes before the writing. I work out what the offer should be, who it is for, what order to sell it in, and how the customer journey fits together before anybody opens a document.
Websites (this one included), DNS records, CRM configuration, integrations, and professional email routed into Gmail so you never have to open a clunky webmail inbox again. When the tool I need does not exist, I build it.
Landing pages, opt-ins, upsells and the sequences that connect them. I design the path, write it and build it, so nothing gets lost in a handover between three different freelancers.
Courses, digital products and paid communities, from shaping the offer through to the launch calendar and the emails that carry it. I have built the delivery side of this as well as the marketing.
Long-form sales pages, VSL and TSL scripts, email campaigns, landing pages and cold outreach. Five years of direct response, trained through AWAI and sharpened on work where the number either moved or it did not. My rule is simple. Be specific, and never insult the reader's intelligence.
These are genuinely different jobs. Most agencies sell the same package either way, which is why one of the two always underperforms.
You built an audience and you know it is worth more than it currently produces. The problem is rarely the list itself. It is that nobody has segmented it, cleaned it, or written to it like they know who is on the other end.
You have something worth selling and no reliable way to reach people. The goal here is not a big list. It is a list of the right people, built on infrastructure that will not collapse the month it starts growing.
The fastest way to find out whether someone really understands email is to ask what happens when it fails. I learned by building the thing that is not allowed to fail.
A complete email service provider, designed and built from scratch and running live on its own domain. Not a template and not a wrapper on somebody else's dashboard. List verification, authenticated sending, a visual automation canvas, a drag and drop page and funnel builder, course hosting, billing and a deliverability dashboard, all behind one login.
It was built backwards from a single question. Will this land? That is the same question I bring to a client's existing setup on day one.
That includes the site you are reading now. I wrote every word on it, designed the layout and the illustrations, coded each page by hand and set up the hosting it runs on. If you want to know what I would build for you, you are already looking at a sample.
The same is true of my virtual support site, which has a completely different look for a completely different buyer, and of MailPerch, where I built both the marketing site and the email platform behind it.
Nine connected modules behind one API. It finds prospects across seven public sources, scores them, works out the gap in how they make money, drafts the outreach and runs the pipeline through to a closed deal.
The scoring model is the interesting part. It rewards a large audience paired with weak monetisation, because that gap is the opportunity. A creator with half a million subscribers and no email list scores high. One already running a full funnel scores low, because there is nothing left to add. That single inversion turns a list of names into a ranked list of deals.
Working sites built for real businesses that had a Google listing and nothing else. Researched from their public profile, written to convert a phone call, built and shipped. Open them, they work on your phone.
A reader will forgive you for asking them to spend money. They will not forgive you for insulting them. Four leads, four markets.
"I was fifty-four when a friend of mine, a doctor, suggested I start keeping a spare pair of underwear in the car. He was not being unkind about it. He had watched me leave the table twice during one dinner."
"He did ten years in an Indiana maximum-security prison. He came out with a plan."
"$250M fund, women's health, Dec 3 deadline."
"What is better than paying Google every month for traffic? Not paying Google every month for traffic. Paid ads are renting. SEO is owning."
These are a few of the recommendations that copywriters, marketers and clients I have worked with left on my LinkedIn profile. They cover the writing, the thinking behind it and what I am like to work with.

I started as a copywriter. Then clients kept asking for things copywriters do not do, like setting up the platform, fixing the deliverability, building the funnel and launching the course, and I decided learning was cheaper than saying no.
Five years later I run marketing for an education platform reaching learners in more than thirty countries, write for a US consumer health brand where every claim has to survive a compliance review, and design lifecycle systems that took roughly sixty percent of the manual work out of client operations. Segmentation and testing frameworks I built lifted click-through and purchase conversions by twenty eight percent for an agency client.
Somewhere in there I got tired of paying four subscriptions to do one job, so I built my own email service provider. It is live, it is real, and you can sign up for it.
That is the whole pitch. I am one person who can see the entire channel, and who has built enough of it to know where it breaks.
Send me what you are selling, who you are selling it to, and where it is stuck. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person, what I would do first, and roughly what it costs. If it is not a fit I will say so, and point you somewhere better.
