My First Year Of SMMA (Honest Review)

[rush_amanda]

I love this! It took me 1 entire year of working full time (and overtime) on the "agency" to get my first client. I hit $10k per month 8 months after that. I had no job for that 1 year so it was stressful AF lol

[williamwilder]

This came at the absolute perfect time. I have been having some pretty severe lately from all of this. Thanks Charlie and pain.

The problem is that course sellers are not selling "how to start a marketing agency" they are selling "how to make 10k/month+ in a time frame a young person can imagine as being possible" and that is borderline criminal. If you have no interest, inclination, talent or training in online marketing go find something that does interest you. Knowing the failure rate is well north of 50% here why not go get into something that you are interested in, are good at, and have some experience in and blow that up to 10k a month, there is nothing unique about this space, you could do this with software development, e-commerce or being a long distance truck driver in the US right now. I know a guy who makes over 10k a month doing commercial sand blasting.

This is so damn true, it’s been 4 months since I started my agency, haven’t closed a single client yet, working for straight for 6-8 hrs daily and it’s stressful AF!!!

I usually have these negative feelings daily but Im trying my best to show up daily and hope for better days.

Keep working guys!!

[obi]

so underrated, you’re my fave youtuber in the space for sure.

[BruceWayne-hokz]

Thank you so much for these videos mate. They are literally the best ones out there and you convey messages in 10-15 mins while others need 2-3x that to convey half of your knowledge. Keep up the great work and congrats on your achievements so far, more to come I am sure of it!

100% agree. I started freelancing and was lucky to have a few clients when I left my job, but after 3 years wanted to make a proper go of it and it was like going 10 rounds with Tyson every day. Eventually you welcome it because you're used to the pain and just move through it. It's f***in hard but very rewarding

[svgaming]

Definitely starting out is feeling like the hardest thing, rn i am experiencing that but i was expecting it not to be easy and i have a lot of patience regarding almost everything so i think I'll do fine, just need some consistency, skills, work ethic, discipline, great video

[JordanPhilipWright]

This video made me anxious AF... AND IT FEELS GREAT! Let's go

[tommynguyen]

I love your videos. I appreciate your transparency, authenticity, and your level of awareness in everything you do!

[louishadley-oi]

thanks for being honest. im a massive fan of your videos and im learning how to start a marketing agency. im 18 years old and I am IN, keep up the content

[PerformDigitalMedia]

Hi mate, loved this video. I've been going since May though and we are doing £17k per month on average at the moment with this month being well over £20k with Black Friday week coming etc. I've worked my absolute face off for this so far, maybe a little luck involved based on what you're saying?

Love the content.

[theauradaddy]

i needed to hear this bro. def a reality check that makes me even more motivated to go hard!

[tufanince]

Most valuable Youtube channel. Protect charlie at all cost.

[maximilianwalch]

Great video, recommend to watch it to the end!!!!

[gigglezone]

I really wanted nothing any bullshit what everyone is selling, 10 grands in 6 months. Loved your perspective. The problem with me is in 6 months of my agency, I changed niche 3 times but now I won't change and will stick to it and what's average like time takes among your 290 students to get 10k and further.

[cloudsarecooll]

Appreciate the perspective that you gave, I'm currently still in the 1st year and I've hardly started and have only just started doing tasks like the onboarding processes and such, I have an idea on how I'm gonna tackle this. But I want to also say, That the video you made before about Service Delivery was really spot on.

I was having a lot of thoughts if I should delegate the tasks to another contractor or do it myself first but after seeing the video you made about Service Delivery and listening to the interview with Daniel (which if you could make him hop on another interview and just see an update on what he's doing now that'll be really interesting!). But, It really got my thoughts clearly that I should be the one who needs to master the service first before delegating the task to another person.

So thank you for giving perspective on that as well.

[VICESbeats]

I’m not gonna sit here and say “Amazing content!” like all the others, but this video does put down realistic expectations. I will be booking a call soon on how to start an agency. Some of your students did in fact grow from 0-40k in 3 months which is opposite of what you’re saying here (aka takes 4-5 years)

[jamjunctionfm]

Respect 👊 saying it as it is, admirable thankyou valuable video

[YavartSingh]

Can you make video on team culture and how we can make a killer team who loves working with our agency. All about team and culture
