Why are you making less than your competitors when you have a better product? I'll tell you. And without looking at your business at all, I know it's not your ads, emails, or landing pages. At least, not just one of those pieces. The real reason you're leaving money on the table is structural. Tinkering with one part of the structure produces small results. If you want revenue climbing month after month, you need to engineer a persuasive path your prospects enjoy walking down and buying from. Everything leading up to the buying moment needs to be structured just right. Your prospect needs to believe the right things — about you, their problem, your solution, why now is the time to act, and why you're the only person who can truly solve it. Those shifts don't happen by accident. They have to be built into every ad, every post, every page, every email in a deliberate sequence. Get it wrong, and prospects bounce like your business is a trampoline. Get it right, and you capture new customers like a giant spider's web in a swamp. And if you go above and beyond, customers will feel relief that you caught them rather than someone worse. There's always someone worse selling a similar solution. You don't want them to win, do you? It's your duty to spin the strongest sales web you can. For your customers' sake and your business's fate. So let's get fixin'. The center of your sales system must be your email list. It's the one asset you actually own. No algorithm or platform can pull the rug out from under it. Show up consistently with a strong point of view and something worth saying, while entertaining the heck out of your readers, and you build a moat no competitor can easily breach. Email is the ultimate sales flywheel. Paid ads on Meta and organic content on LinkedIn and X pull strangers into your orbit. Lead magnets and landing pages bring them inside. Email automations and regular newsletters direct their existing desires onto your solutions. Sales pages and upsells close them and feed your business's growing appetite. I built this sales system for Live Free Academy. Ran their entire marketing operation solo. Grew their list from 5,000 to 37,000 active subscribers. Took them from five-figure ARR to seven-figure ARR in two years. By year three, courses, events, and membership generated $2.8 million. The newsletter I ghostwrote drove over 80% of revenue. A Bitcoin course that did $339K in its first year. Four events that grossed over $500K combined. Their former VP of Sales called it "one of the most impressive and frankly genius marketing campaigns I've ever seen." For AUTONOMY, I relaunched a dead newsletter and helped close 162 students into a $2K–$4.5K course. For CrowdHealth, I rebuilt onboarding sequences. Open rates went from 65% to 93%. Unsubscribes fell from 2.49% to 0.59%. Deliverability went from 60 to 96. What I do: ✔️ Meta ads and LinkedIn/X ghostwriting to pull fresh leads into your world ✔️ Lead magnets and landing pages that capture and convert ✔️ Daily and weekly email newsletters that drive 80%+ of revenue ✔️ Automations and sequences that move people through the belief shift process ✔️ Launch campaigns for courses, memberships, events, SaaS, and ecom ✔️ Sales pages and upsells built to close and compound ✔️ Full funnel audits that find exactly where your money is leaking But I'm not here to do piecemeal work. I will come in as a fractional CMO for founders who want a growth partner, not just a writer. The scope might be limited or expansive, but I will insist on seeing and understanding your full sales architecture so I can help you in the best way possible. I work with founders generating at least $100K a year who sell something that genuinely changes people's lives. If I wouldn't sell it to my wife, I won't sell it for you. If you’d like to chat, send me a message right now. Tell me what your business is, what you sell, who you sell it to, and the number one challenge you're facing. I'll take it from there. Patrick

I build AI operating systems for founder-led teams — not just the agents, n8n pipelines, and CRM automations, but the documented system they all run inside, so your business keeps moving when you're not. I've spent 25+ years in information technology: managing systems, running teams, writing SOPs, handling CRM handoffs, and cleaning up the messes nobody documented. I know what automation has to survive inside because I've lived in it. You end up with systems that run, not a binder on a shelf. I'm a registered Anthropic (Claude) Partner — and I run my own practice on a custom AI operating system I built from scratch: tasks, pipeline, notes, and a library of reusable workflows, all managed with AI. No mental load. No "where did I put that?" I'm not selling you something I haven't lived. ⭐ Top Rated on Upwork, 5.0 across 129 jobs 🌎 US Citizen based in the Philippines (GMT+8) | Working AU & US Hours ▌ THE REAL PROBLEM Most problems aren't really about tools. Work gets stuck between inboxes, spreadsheets, people, and decisions nobody wrote down: who owns what, what happens at the handoff, and what breaks when someone's out. I figure out what should be automated, keep your judgment where it belongs, and build the rest so it keeps running when the week gets busy and the one person who understands it is out sick. I don't hand you a black box and walk away. I document it so it lives in your business, and I'm reachable when it needs a change. I use AI to do the heavy lifting, with my own review on every output before it leaves. ▌ THE PROOF 🩺 Healthcare Admin: Drowning in 2,400 emails/month. I built a HIPAA-aware system that reads, sorts, references policies and benefits, and drafts replies (with human approval). 15 minutes per case dropped to under 2. The 48-hour backlog vanished. ✈️ Aviation Broker: Losing 15-30 minutes of hand work on every lead. I built three systems in n8n (with Claude and HubSpot): lead enrichment, a 174-page landing-page content engine, and post-flight follow-ups. Lead prep dropped to near-zero. 🏗️ Construction: Paperwork chaos for every new crew. I built an onboarding pipeline (JotForm, Claude, Google Workspace) and turned 11 disconnected tools and a few conversations into a 60-page SOP manual, all using AI. New hires went from "where do I start" to "here's exactly what happens this week." The system lives in the business, not the owner's head. 🛒 E-commerce / DTC: A seven-figure supplement brand whose marketing team had no process. Deadlines slipped, work overlapped. I built the editorial and campaign operation from scratch in ClickUp and ran it for five years across a team of 8-15. Predictable output, less drama. (Plus hands-on Shopify and Klaviyo at two other DTC brands, and Google Ads experience.) 🧠 AI Operating Systems: I set up custom AI operating systems and agent frameworks for clients on Claude Code — documented so the team can actually run them, not just watch them. One client put it: "He didn't just help implement it — he engineered an entire operational framework tailored to our needs." ▌ THE TECH STACK ▸ Workflows & agents: n8n (my depth, deterministic routing); Make and Zapier when they fit; production AI agents (Hermes, OpenClaw, custom) ▸ AI models: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini (to read, sort, draft, decide), with human approval where it matters ▸ Data & APIs: Supabase, Airtable, Postgres, Google Sheets, REST and webhook integrations, RAG ▸ CRM / lead flow: HubSpot ▸ Where work lives: ClickUp, Airtable (Monday, Notion, or Google Workspace work too) ▌ SOUND LIKE YOUR BUSINESS? ✉️ Message me with two things: 1. The one workflow eating the most time right now. 2. What tools you're using today. I'll tell you straight whether automation is the right move and what it takes to fix it.

Did you know that translations that are too literal, direct, plain or simply "word-for-word" are a common reason for why English-speaking businesses fail to even break into the German market? That’s because in order to build trust with any German-speaking target audience, your German software, mobile app, website, script, social media content or other piece of marketing and advertising copy needs to be culturally adapted and sound and feel natural by implementing creative writing or copywriting techniques. If you have an English language product or service that you want to launch or grow in Germany, I am here to help. As a native German speaker who has garnered experience creatively "germanizing" not only words, but also messages and emotional responses, ever since obtaining a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in Germany and subsequently rerooting in the American Midwest in 2011, I can look over your content and tell you quickly if and how localization or transcreation is the right approach for your needs. The way it works is simple: Shoot me a message, making sure to include a document with or a link to the English source text you're looking to localize or transcreate for the German market, along with any other details you think I should know. I'll reply promptly - usually within 1 hour or so during regular business hours with online (green) or away (orange) status and the same day with offline (grey) status - and let you know all of the following: 1) My thoughts on how to successfully create a fully adapted German localization or transcreation for your product or service 2) An estimated turnaround time and cost for this process (transcreation can be difficult and entail more work than a localization or more direct translation, but it’s worth the extra time commitment) 3) Suggestions for next steps There's no risk and no obligation so feel free to send me a message even if it's just to "put a feeler out there". And in case you already have a piece of German language copy that isn’t performing the way you'd hoped it would, doesn't mean all is lost. If you read my 300+ overwhelmingly positive reviews from previous happy clients (many of whom went on to hire me to improve their existing subpar localizations and transcreations), you'll see that I take an holistic approach to my clients’ goals and my commitment to my clients very seriously. So send me a message and let's talk. And while it should go without saying: In the event that I feel that my skills aren’t the right fit for your particular project, I promise to always let you know up front and try connect you with a better suited language service provider. – Dr. vet. med. Mareike Kraatz PS: Concerned about freelancers blindly relying on free machine translations? Well, here’s my advice based on a decade of experience on Upwork: The dangers of poorly or unedited artificial intelligence–generated translations are unfortunately real. And while app, software and website localizations can benefit from the productivity and consistency boosting features of so-called Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) software – such as my most trusted choice SDL Trados Studio -usually any kind of marketing and advertising copy is best transcreated solely by a human mind with cross-cultural experience and creative business acumen.
