    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Highly recommend Matthew! Professional, fast, and extremely responsive. We were very impressed with his work. Top-notch communication throughout." - Hayley Coleborne, CEO of Growth Gurus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I would DEFINITELY recommend Matt. We hired him to review the initial build of a webpage for our marketing agency... he went above and beyond what we asked for." - Colby Flood, CEO of Brighter Click (a marketing agency) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Matt takes the time to understand your business needs and goals. I plan to continue working with him in the future and highly recommend his services to anyone that needs copywriting!" - Zak Khoshbin, CEO of Pur360 (business owner) 🏆 4+ years of experience – Expert Email Marketer 📈 60+ clients in 20+ industries 🚀 Worked with 10 8-figure brands Hey, I'm Matt! 👋 🚀 I help D2C companies identify their bottlenecks, gain more leverage, increase cash flow, and predictably grow (all without spending more on ads) with my 4-Stage Retention Framework. Notable clients include: * Ahara * Dr. Kellyann * Erika Kullberg * Caleb Hammer * Hank’s Belts * Omnilux * Unbound Merino * Mito Red Light * Sauna Space * Nature M.D. * Darn Good Yarn If you're here, it's probably because: 👉 You're barely breaking even from your paid acquisition 👉 You feel like your business is missing out on tons of retention revenue from email and SMS 👉 You feel like you're not scaling as fast as you should be Well, let me tell you something: These "email agencies" aren't going to help you get there. You see, after doing email marketing for 4+ years, generating $11M+ in client revenue, and working with 60+ clients (many of them being 8-figure brands)... I realized that there are many more ways you can retain your customers to get them to come back and shop with you than just using email marketing... And that's where the 4-Stage Retention Framework was born. 🔽 How The 4-Stage Retention Framework Works There are essentially 4 stages of retention that every business goes through: Stage 1 – Foundational Stage 2 – Growth Stage 3 – Ascendence Stage 4 – Experience The higher the Stage, the more advanced your business is built and the higher it can grow. Many are stuck around Stage 1 – Stage 2, unable to grow their business because they don't know how to get to Stage 3 – Stage 4. Although I can't provide all the strategies due to other email marketers & copywriters creeping on my page 😉... Here's a broad overview of how it works: ✅ Advanced Content Calendar Strategies that will get more subscribers to open your emails (which applies to virtually all industries) ✅ Secret Flow Strategies and Tactics that can help you make up to 25% of your total revenue on autopilot ✅ Creative, On-Brand Copywriting that gets your reader's attention and makes them eager to shop ✅ Secret sales channels 99% of businesses aren't using that can add 5-10% to your MRR ✅ Lifecycle Marketing Tactics for a better idea of the entire customer journey ✅ Advanced Reporting to track business KPI's you're likely missing ✅ Not Well-Known Email/SMS Strategies that boost your overall growth ✅ Record-Breaking Product Launch Strategies ✅ List Growth Strategies for quality leads 🔽 What's Next 🚀 Free Klaviyo Audit & Account Breakdown 🚀 Every business is different. It's important to find out which Stage your business is in. That way, we can see how we help you reach the next-level growth you're looking for – and beyond. That's why I offer a free audit for every business I work with. Just invite me to send an invite for your job with: 👉 A link to your company’s website 👉 A brief description of your project (3-5 sentences is plenty to get the conversation started) And let's see how you can grow 👉 - Matthew Gal P.S. -- Understand that my decision to expand myself via Upwork was only to supplement the work I do with my own businesses and in-person partners/clients. So, I will only be accepting work here if we are both 110% confident we are a good fit. 🔽 My Promise to You If you’re not happy, I’m not happy. My promise and guarantee to you is that I’ll work with you until you’re happy at no additional charge.

    Unlock Your Advertising Superpowers! 🚀 Did you know that Facebook has over 2.9 billion ACTIVE users every month? That’s like having a global megaphone at your fingertips! Now, imagine if you had a secret weapon—someone who could create eye-catching visuals and irresistible copy that turns every $1 you spend into $2. Sounds like magic, right? For the past four years, I’ve been the secret sauce behind successful campaigns, managing over $10M in ads on Facebook and Google. But instead of bragging about it (oops, just did 😂), I’d rather share my playbook for success: 1. Spy on Your Success (a.k.a. set up tracking systems like Pixel & GA4) 2. Find Your People (identify your target audience) 3. Craft Irresistible Offers (offers that make your audience go “wow!”) 4. Create Visual Magic (designs that stop the scroll) 5. Write Words That Sell (ad copy that speaks to your audience’s soul) 6. Data is Your BFF (analyze and optimize like a boss) Sure, it sounds simple, but simple doesn’t mean easy. As a busy business owner, you have enough on your plate. That’s where I come in. I can handle the nitty-gritty of media buying, so you can focus on what you do best—running your business. Think of hiring a media buyer like me as the best investment in your business’s growth. It’s not just about spending money; it’s about making sure that money works hard for you. So, if you’re looking for someone who’s passionate, data-driven, and just a little obsessed with getting great results, let’s chat! Shoot me a message, and let’s turn your advertising dreams into reality. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Client Testimonials "Yidana and his team contacted me asking if I needed any help in the social media space. Due to his age we were skeptical at first, but gave him and his team a shot. With one week and $600 in adspend, Yidana and his team generated us 5 furnace replacements, valued at $12,500 in total. I'd recommend Yidana to anyone looking for help with Facebook Ads. Especially lead generation." - Boss Services HVAC - Kalamazoo, Michigan "When my company started growing I was in desperate need for a website, as well as help with lead generation through social media. However, I lacked the funds and expertise in this space. Yidana and his team reached out to me and created me an exceptional website, as well as helped me get started through social media advertising by running me a very successful Facebook lead generation campaign, and teaching me everything they did along the way, so I could replicate it myself. All this for a price that I could afford. Very grateful for Yidana and his team's work." - Mike W. - Oasis Lawn Care

    Hi there, stranger! I assume you’ve wandered in here because you’re in search of high-converting copy to captivate your readers and help sell more of your product or service. Take a deep breath, friend. You’re in the right place. Let me introduce myself. I’m Jeff Vece, and I’ve spent the last 10 years helping business owners sell WAY more with world-class copywriting. I’ve worked with everyone from solo entrepreneurs all the way up to giant multinationals (and everything in between). I specialize in personality-driven copy that combines consumer psychology, expert storytelling, and a deep understanding of buying triggers to deliver measurable results that blow past industry norms. ———————— “In 30-plus years of being a project manager working with major brands, Jeff is the best B2B copywriter I’ve ever worked with.” — Craig Jacobin, project manager for dozens of high-authority brands (*Editor’s note*: Thank you, Craig! But I also do B2C! *End editor’s note*) "Over the last 4 years I've hired 50+ freelance writers for a variety of jobs, and Jeff stands out as one of the best. I'm lucky to have found him, and you should hire him without hesitation. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would.” — Jeremy Maranpot, online entrepreneur (thingamagift.com) “Jeff was incredible. Took our website copy to the next level, saw twice as many sales due to his great work!” — Ricci Fisher, creator of the Vision Board Planner ———————— 🎸 Here’s Why You’ll Love Working With Me: 🎸 ⭐ Strategy Focus: I’m not just a copywriter — I’m also a business growth strategist. I’m here to help you make more sales, not just to finish the job you hired me for. I want you to leave with a great new asset AND a clearer idea of how to amp up your results! ⭐ Systematic Approach: My work is based on researching and understanding the psychology of your market. Not only does this result in better copy, it means you’ll know exactly why we’re saying what we’re saying — instead of simply trusting that it’s good “because I say so.” ⭐ Proactive Communication: Being left in the dark by a freelancer is the worst. I strive to be the easiest person you ever work with, and that means keeping you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going. ⭐ Quality Guarantee: I’m committed to ensuring you’re thrilled with the result, so I offer unlimited revisions (even though I’ve never had anyone come back for more than one). I’ll always give you my honest opinion, but in the end, this is your business. You deserve to be ecstatic about your copy. 🔔 “So What Exactly Do You Offer?” 🔔 So glad you asked! I specialize in: 🚀 EMAIL SEQUENCES of all kinds (high-performing lead gen, nurturing sequences, launch sequences, welcome sequences…you get the idea). 🚀 WEBSITE COPY that captures the magic of your brand, sets you apart as a “category of one,” and converts visitors into enthusiastic customers. 🚀 SALES PAGES that get your hot prospects over the finish line as customers for your high-ticket offer. 🚀 MARKETING STRATEGY to help you get super clear on exactly how you should approach your marketing and what to focus on, so you can stop guessing and start making more money. If you have other needs, it’s likely I can fulfill those too. I’ve written high-performing copy of just about every kind — but the above constitute my “sweet spot.” Hey, if you got this far, what are you waiting for?! Message me and tell me a little about your business and the project you’ve got in mind! 📩 🚀
