Don't waste money on an agency (yet)
And what to do with your emails instead.
90% of email agencies will happily take your money and put you on a retainer.
But here’s what they don’t want you to know:
If your brand is doing under $30K/month, hiring an agency is a waste of money.
That money is much better spent on ads—because at this stage, more eyeballs on your business is what moves the needle most.
But here’s the catch…
If you don’t have your email marketing foundations in place, you’re leaving money on the table:
Without email, your ad spend goes to waste.
Without email, you’re failing to capture traffic that you can nurture into making their first purchase.
Without email, you’re constantly chasing new customers instead of keeping the ones you’ve already paid for.
The solution? Set up the right email systems once, so they generate revenue on autopilot— until you’re ready to scale and hand them off to a specialist agency or employee.
And that’s exactly what our course teaches you: how to build these systems from scratch, the right way.
Inside, you’ll get:
✅ The exact email playbooks we’re using to make our 6, 7, and 8 figure brands millions

… All for a price the fraction of the cost your Upwork freelancer is trying to charge you.
Best,
