I’m finally starting my email marketing agency. Yes, you heard that. For the past two years (ish), I’ve been working solo as an email marketing strategist, taking on only a handful of clients I could confidently handle. And if you know me, you’d know I’ve always been ranting about owning an email marketing agency someday. But I let the fear of the unknown hold me back. What if no one gives me a shot? What if I’m unable to pay my team? What if my clients churn? What if I overpromise? You know, doing something solo and running it with a team aren’t the same; and as a marketer, I know that. But you know what… I’ve finally decided to call my procrastination quits. I’ve decided to do it confused. And as @calumnolan_ and @macmails advised… “Maryann, do it scared. Do it now. Anyone who thinks you’re not worth it, screw them.” Happy to finally be doing something I’ve been procrastinating on for the longest time. Let’s gooooo

Today makes it 11 days since I launched my email marketing agency @Uptiveagency , and one of the goals I set was to hit $10k in 3 months. But this post isn’t about whether we’ve hit that or not. Because as far as I’m concerned, we’re still at $0; currently working with the clients I had prior to launching the agency. So why exactly am I sharing this? As much as we plan to hit $10k in 3 months, I’ve completely taken my mind off that goal. Instead, I’ve been focusing on the process. Let’s be real… Getting clients to work with us isn’t something we can fully control. But there is something we can control: being in potential clients’ faces and getting them to want to work with us. So while we can’t control the outcome, I’ve decided to control the process. And whether we hit $10k in 3 months or not, we’ll know we did our part. So what’s the plan? Mainly three things: - Cold Email I’ve spent the past few days setting up our cold email system. I’ve got some experience working at a cold email agency and doing a lot of it while I was solo. Bought some domains, warming them up over the next couple of weeks before sending. - Cold DMs I’m not the biggest fan of this, but I’ve put systems in place to make sure I’m sending DMs to potential clients. - Content (X, LinkedIn, TikTok) I’ve always loved making videos. For the longest time, I procrastinated. But since launching this agency, I feel a weight of responsibility, and a new level of accountability. You know how you’d feel if you woke up one morning and suddenly you’re a mom? 😅 That’s how I feel right now. So I’m taking the bull by the horns and doing the damn thing. And lastly; referrals! Not exactly a “strategy,” but still super powerful. And in the spirit of being shameless about my goals… If you know an eCom brand owner sleeping on email, when they should be getting at least 25% of their revenue from it… Send ‘em our way. I also plan to test a few outside-the-box strategies. Anyhow… All the best to us. _______ _______ As an aside: If you’re an agency owner feeling extra generous today, drop a comment and tell us how your agency hit $10k 👇 #emailagency #klaviyoexpert #emailmarketing

I just hired my first email designer. I have so many crazy ideas in my head, and to achieve it, I need the best teammates. And guess who I hired first? You guessed it; an email designer. Although I’ve been wearing that hat for my existing clients, I don’t consider it my greatest strength. Strategy has always been my bread and butter. It felt so good onboarding a designer who’d begin to bring to life the many strategies I plan to implement for clients. First, he’ll take over the design work for my existing personal clients so I can have more time to focus on the agency launch. And when we eventually launch and get our first client, he’ll take over the designs for those clients too. I feel so good right now 🤭 I guess that’s how you feel when you’re building something you’re truly passionate about. PS: Just in case you’re wondering why I didn’t put it out here; I currently belong to a community of email designers. If you’re in the e-com space, you’d know that being a designer is different from being an email designer. So, I just put it out in the community of specialists, scanned through tons of portfolios, and picked the best two portfolios I love. Jumped on a call with both, boom! Choose one out of the two. Now, let the countdown continue. #20daysuntillaunch. #agencylaunch #emailmarketing

I can’t believe I used to be so shy to quote my prices. I’d jump on calls with potential clients, and the moment it was time to discuss price, I’d start fidgeting; fingers tapping on the table, shifting in my seat, avoiding eye contact (even on Zoom 💀). My voice would get softer, almost like I was apologizing for charging what I was worth. And then? The client would hesitate too. They’d sense my uncertainty and either negotiate me down or just ghost me. But the day I finally said my price confidently; no fidgeting, no justifying, just silence after I spoke, the client said, “Okay, that works. What’s next?” That’s when I realized: People believe in your value when you do. ..And that's one of the things I'm serious with this year; Building my confidence level to 100%. I'm not there yet; I'm still a work in progress. So guys… confidence is a must in this thing of ours! And don’t forget; Clients believe in your value when you do. #maryannabonyi #klaviyo #emailmarketer #ecommerce #klaviyoexpert

I officially launch my email marketing agency @Uptiveagency tomorrow, and I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate everyone who’s supported me in one way or another. Over the past few days, I’ve literally lived in the DMs of other agency owners I admire; asking for advice on all kinds of things: Offers, pricing, website feedback, and so much more. Everyone was open, sharing what worked for them and how I could implement it in my own way. It’s such a good feeling to have people doing what you want to do; being able to ask them questions without them gatekeeping. Even though I’ve been in this industry for a while, running it as an agency is a whole different ball game. So every piece of advice meant a lot to me. With that said, we officially launch tomorrow. On God. Stay tuned 🙂‍↔️ #welaunchtomorrow #emailagency #emailmarketing
