Hire the Best Copywriters in Illinois

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.

🏆 Top 1% of talent on Upwork ✉️ 1M+ qualified leads delivered 📈 2M+ transactions influenced 🧠 $500K+ in ad spend managed globally 💰 $10M+ in customer revenue generated 💎 Worked with 50+ companies worldwide What if you could build a system that turns every $1 into $3… $5… even $10? That’s the power of well-executed Facebook and Instagram ads — when done right. But for most businesses, that’s not the reality. Instead, they’re stuck with broken funnels, high CPLs, and ad campaigns that feel like guesswork. Agencies overpromise. Freelancers disappear. And despite spending money, the leads are cold, or worse — don’t show up at all. That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Faraz — a performance marketer, funnel builder, and Facebook/Instagram ads expert based in Dallas, Texas. I didn’t start out as an expert. Back in 2019, I took a gap year and launched my first blog — it flopped. Then I built a perfume brand. Spent $6,000 on Facebook ads. No sales. Another failure. But those failures taught me what no course ever could. In 2022, I went all in. Started freelancing. Worked with real clients. Launched real campaigns. Saw real results. Since then, I’ve helped 50+ brands — from eCom stores to local businesses — generate consistent leads, sales, and booked appointments using Facebook and Instagram ads. What I bring to the table: ✔️ Scroll-stopping ad copy and creative ✔️ Targeting and retargeting that gets results ✔️ Funnels that actually convert ✔️ Offer positioning that attracts real buyers ✔️ CRM, email and SMS automation ✔️ Strategy that lowers CPL and increases ROAS I don’t just build ads. I build full ad systems that bring in leads and sales on autopilot. Who this is for: ✅ Small to medium businesses ready to scale ✅ Coaches and consultants looking to book more calls ✅ Service providers who want more qualified leads ✅ Ecom brands struggling with ROAS or scaling ✅ Founders with a real ad budget and long-term mindset ✅ People who know ads are not magic — but when done right, they work Who this is not for: ❌ Businesses with $50 budgets expecting 100x returns ❌ People looking for cheap freelancers and instant results ❌ Clients who panic after 2 days of running ads ❌ Anyone not open to testing, learning, and improving --- Why clients trust me: ⭐️ “One of the smartest marketers I’ve worked with — our calendar was full within 10 days.” – Adam ⭐️ “Faraz doesn’t just run ads. He builds the whole system — ads, copy, funnel, CRM. Seamless.” – Steve ⭐️ “He actually listened, delivered fast, and gave me real results. No fluff.” – Kristen Want to test me out before committing? 📩 Message me here on Upwork and I’ll send over a quick action plan.
