Cape Town, South Africa
Your CPA jumps 30% overnight. Two big POs hit. Shopify payout doesn't cover the inventory bill. ROAS dips below 2:1. Competitor tweets "We hit 40% percent of revenue from email and SMS!". All on a Tuesday morning. Gut punch. Something....has to give. Thankfully your customers will do all the giving you need. If they're simply seduced into whipping out that sweet card more often. For bigger carts. For years. But you already tried hiring for help with email and they just didn't care like you do. Chasing them down only to get cookie-cutter templates, lifeless AI copy and Canva design. But generic doesn't build real brands. Emotional connection does. Personality and stories. Chatting like a childhood buddy that lives next door. Every word crafted like the founder wrote it at dawn over coffee (not an intern with a swipe file). Imagine... Strategy, creative, segmentation, deliverability, all humming quietly in the background. Jaw-droppingly stunning emails are going out, reeling in huge sales. Email and SMS revenue climbs past 35%. Real metrics like margins, ROAS, LTV, CAC, and AOV all widening (not just vanity opens or clicks.). Your entire back end, handled. No briefing, micromanaging or chasing. Now you can stay in product/ops to put out fires and push the big needle-movers. An extra 10 hours a week appear in your calendar so you can have a life, while topline still grows. This is not a pipe dream with me on your team. However, as a Klaviyo Master, Partner and well over $20 million generated for clients to date, I already have a loyal stable of awesome clients - so naturally my schedule is very nearly full. But, if we get along and I'm 100% sure I can help your unique brand, then you will be making a LOT of money with my help. So if you're looking for someone to help you scale with Klaviyo email marketing, click the green "Invite To Job" or white "Hire Now" button at the top right of this page. Looking forward to discussing your project :) - Wilding. PS: Here's what clients have said about my email marketing services on Upwork: - “It was an awesome ROI and we were able to scale much, much more because of that added revenue.” - “The margins before we started working with you was…18% and recently it was 24%…and that’s net margin.” - “He will make you far more money than you spend with him so you’d be a dummy to not work with him." - “We’ve tried other email marketers before and Wilding is by far the best we’ve ever tried.” Check out my profile below for email designs, results and 20+ more Upwork reviews just like these...

Most businesses hire a website designer to create a "pretty" website and a copywriter for "good" words. The result? A beautiful website that doesn't sell. In like nothing. For years on end. Yip!

After almost two decades in business, I know this feeling of despair all to well.

He was a master of the written word, a wordsmith of the highest order. For years, he toiled away in obscurity, honing his craft and perfecting his art. But then, one day, he emerged from the shadows, ready to unleash his incredible talent upon the world. With nothing but a keyboard and his imagination, he crafted emails that were nothing short of masterpieces. His subject lines were like movie trailers, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eager to know more. And when they opened the emails, they were transported into a world of persuasion, where every word was chosen with precision, every sentence crafted to lead them towards the ultimate goal: the call-to-action. My name is Jonah, over the last 3 years I’ve worked with agencies and companies alike. I have run projects from simply writing copy to strategizing the sales funnel, managing ad campaigns, and writing the copy. This has given me a great understanding of marketing and copywriting in various industries, which include but are not limited to: Life & mindset coaching, career coaching, real estate, skin-care & e-commerce. As an experienced sales copywriter and digital marketer I provide online businesses with strategic insights, lead nurturing emails, and direct response copy for: Emails, sales pages, sales letters, Google ads, META ads, and website copy. The principles of copywriting remain the same, but the strategies and tactics are ever-changing. I am always aware of what is working in the world, so that what I put into the world will work. I recently worked with an e-commerce skincare brand, by employing email marketing strategies along with a simple META ads funnel we achieved taking the company's email revenue from 0% of total revenue to 60% of total revenue, and wrote ad copy that resulted in a ROAS of 2.5x.
