๐Ÿ† Top 1% of talent on Upwork โœ‰๏ธ 1M+ qualified leads delivered ๐Ÿ“ˆ 2M+ transactions influenced ๐Ÿง  $500K+ in ad spend managed globally ๐Ÿ’ฐ $10M+ in customer revenue generated ๐Ÿ’Ž Worked with 50+ companies worldwide What if every $1 you put into ads came back as $3... $5... even $10? That's not hype. That's what happens when your ads, funnel, and follow-up system are all working together. But for most businesses? That's not their reality. They're bleeding money on broken funnels. High cost-per-lead that go nowhere. Campaigns that "sort of work" but never scale. They've tried agencies that overpromise and disappear. They've hired freelancers who ghost after onboarding. And despite spending real money, the pipeline stays empty. That's the problem I solve. Hi, I'm Faraz โ€” a performance marketer, funnel builder, and paid media specialist based in Chicago, Illinois. I didn't start as an expert. In 2019, I took a gap year and launched my first blog. It flopped. Then I built a perfume brand from scratch and spent $6,000 on Facebook ads. Zero sales. Pure failure. But those failures taught me what no course ever could: the difference between running ads and building a system. In 2022, I went all in. Started working with real clients. Real budgets. Real campaigns. And real results followed. Since then, I've helped 50+ brands across eCommerce, SaaS, and local services generate consistent leads, booked appointments, and scalable revenue using paid media across Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, and more. --- ๐ŸŽฏ WHO I WORK WITH: โ—ผ LOCAL SERVICE BUSINESSES: Chiropractors, dentists, med spas, dermatology clinics, plastic surgeons, gyms, and home service providers. I build lead gen systems that fill your calendar with qualified appointments, not tire-kickers. โ—ผ eCOMMERCE BRANDS: Supplements, apparel, fashion, accessories, beauty, pet products, and more. Full-funnel ad systems across Meta and Google that scale ROAS without sacrificing margin. โ—ผ SaaS and DIGITAL PRODUCTS: Trial signups, demo bookings, and free-to-paid conversions. I understand the SaaS buyer journey and build campaigns that bring in users who actually stick around. --- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ WHAT I ACTUALLY BUILD: โœ”๏ธ Meta Ads (Primary): Facebook and Instagram campaigns, creative strategy, retargeting, scaling โœ”๏ธ Google Ads: Search, Display, Performance Max, and Shopping campaigns โœ”๏ธ TikTok Ads: Short-form creative strategy and conversion campaigns โœ”๏ธ LinkedIn Ads: B2B lead gen and SaaS demo campaigns โœ”๏ธ Reddit Ads: Community-targeted awareness and conversion campaigns โœ”๏ธ Tracking and Attribution: Hyros, Blue Whale, Meta Pixel, Conversion API, GTM, and GA4 โœ”๏ธ Funnel Building: ClickFunnels, WordPress, and Shopify landing pages built to convert โœ”๏ธ CRM and Automation: GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Zapier, and HubSpot setup and workflows โœ”๏ธ Email and SMS: Klaviyo flows, ActiveCampaign sequences, and drip campaigns that nurture and close โœ”๏ธ Reporting: Custom dashboards, ROAS tracking, and transparent weekly reporting โœ”๏ธ Workspace and Ops: Notion SOPs and Zapier automations so everything runs without you --- ๐Ÿฅ NICHES I HAVE WORKED IN: Med spas, chiropractic offices, dental practices, plastic surgery centers, gyms, law firms, real estate, insurance, mortgage, supplement brands, apparel and fashion, pet products, beauty and skincare, SaaS startups, info products, coaches, consultants, and online course sellers. --- โœ… WHO THIS IS FOR: - Local service businesses ready to fill their calendar with booked appointments - eCom brands struggling with ROAS, scaling, or inconsistent revenue - SaaS companies looking to drive trial signups and reduce CAC - Coaches and consultants who want to book more strategy calls - Founders with a real ad budget and a long-term growth mindset - Business owners tired of agencies that charge retainers but deliver excuses โŒ WHO THIS IS NOT FOR: - Businesses with $50 budgets expecting 100x returns - Clients who panic after 48 hours of running ads - Anyone not open to testing, iterating, and improving - People looking for the cheapest option, not the best outcome --- โญ WHAT CLIENTS SAY: "One of the smartest marketers I have worked with. Our calendar was full within 10 days." -- Adam "Faraz does not just run ads. He builds the whole system: ads, copy, funnel, CRM. Completely seamless." -- Steve "He listened, moved fast, and delivered real results. No fluff, no excuses." -- Kristen --- ๐Ÿ“ฉ Ready to build a system that actually scales? Message me here and I will send over a quick action plan based on your business. No pitch, no pressure. Just clarity on what needs to happen to grow. Let's build something that scales, Faraz Mushtaq aka The Batman of Marketing
