Hi, I’m Matt and I'm UpWork's #1 Book Marketer, so I can GUARANTEE results for your book too. With 12+ years of experience in the publishing industry, I’ve marketed 800+ books and sold over 4 MILLION copies. (feel free to ask for examples of books I've marketed for past clients)
My promise: I'll get your book in the hands of thousands of Bloggers / YouTubers / Podcasts / Reviewers who will then get their literal millions of followers to buy/review it, and I can get your book sold inside thousands of Bookstores and on Library shelves. I've done this hundreds of times and with all genres, so you can see hundreds of positive reviews from my clients here on my Profile page.
Be sure to take a look at the following docs in the Portfolio section here on my profile:
1. My ”Client Results Spreadsheet” (which shows all of my clients from the past 2 years, which services they ordered from me, and the profit that resulted)
2. My ”Client Sales Charts” (screenshots that my clients took of their Amazon sales charts after my marketing)
Put simply, my 4-step process is very “turn-key” for my clients, as I do 100% of the work for them, and with each step being optional:
STEP #1: I supply you with the Contact List files of your choice (just a few examples below):
+ 850 Bookstores
+ 2,730 Libraries
+ 420 Book Review Blogs
+ 55 Book Review Podcasts
+ 180 Book Review Youtubers
+ 1,000 Health and Wellness Blogs
+ 1,000 Business Blogs
+ 420 Mom Blogs
+ 600 Self-Help / Self-Improvement Blogs
+ 750 Family Lifestyle Blogs
+ 250 Children's Book Review Blogs
+ 375 Mental Health Blogs
+ And many, many more!
STEP #2: I write Custom Outreach Emails to each Contact List for you
STEP #3: I send out the thousands of emails for you and I'm able to guarantee a minimum Open Rate of at least 40%
STEP #4: The contacts then buy, review, and share your book, so their millions of followers can see it and buy it as well
I also offer an incredibly in-depth 40-page Book Marketing Guide that goes through literally every tactic that authors should be doing to market their books, including links of where to do these things, when to do these things, and how best to do them.
A bit more about me: I'm also an award-winning author myself with multiple bestseller books - one of which is currently being produced as a feature film.
Send me a message with your book's genre (and target demographic, if you know it) and let’s discuss!

You have worked hard to build your business. You have invested in marketing, generated leads, and created offers that people want. But when your GoHighLevel CRM, GoHighLevel Workflow Automation, or sales funnel isn't working together, opportunities quietly disappear, appointments go unbooked, and revenue slips through the cracks.
As a GoHighLevel Expert, specializing in GoHighLevel CRM Setup, GoHighLevel Workflow Automation, GoHighLevel Funnels, GoHighLevel Website Desig, and Business Process Automation, I build revenue-focused systems that help businesses capture more leads, automate repetitive tasks, improve customer experiences, and increase booked appointments without adding more manual work.

🏆 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 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 — 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.
---
🎯 WHO I WORK WITH:
◼ 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.
◼ 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.
◼ 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.
---
🛠️ WHAT I ACTUALLY BUILD:
✔️ Meta Ads (Primary): Facebook and Instagram campaigns, creative strategy, retargeting, scaling
✔️ Google Ads: Search, Display, Performance Max, and Shopping campaigns
✔️ TikTok Ads: Short-form creative strategy and conversion campaigns
✔️ LinkedIn Ads: B2B lead gen and SaaS demo campaigns
✔️ Reddit Ads: Community-targeted awareness and conversion campaigns
✔️ Tracking and Attribution: Hyros, Blue Whale, Meta Pixel, Conversion API, GTM, and GA4
✔️ Funnel Building: ClickFunnels, WordPress, and Shopify landing pages built to convert
✔️ CRM and Automation: GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Zapier, and HubSpot setup and workflows
✔️ Email and SMS: Klaviyo flows, ActiveCampaign sequences, and drip campaigns that nurture and close
✔️ Reporting: Custom dashboards, ROAS tracking, and transparent weekly reporting
✔️ Workspace and Ops: Notion SOPs and Zapier automations so everything runs without you
---
🏥 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.
---
✅ 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
❌ 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
---
⭐ 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

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.
