I follow Nate O'Brien for years. He is the only person on the internet who I can still trust.

[@SantrelMedia]

I appreciate that

[@roniramirez6934]

I adore you young sir, you get right to the heart of the matter you don’t waste time shamelessly pushing a product no one wants or can afford they don’t tell you what it will cost upfront. They don’t tell you it’s going to cost three easy payments of $1500. I respect your sir. I’m 70 yo wish I had 1/4 the brains you have.

[@igormyrmyr6630]

I literally just watched the 2023 version a couple hours before you posted this haha. I'm still gonna watch it 👀

[@SantrelMedia]

I realized that we needed an updated video!

[@rasalresid9147]

Great video. Have you used some third party tools for boosting (my favorite one is using a bit of Famester)? Apparently some agency owners are using it to increase their clients presence and engagement. Brand recognition and reach also improves like a lot. When I asked them if their clients approve of that method, they were like Yes, as long as there are results to show...

[@Mikahchu]

God bless you man! 🙏 Appreciate what you doing for us

[@SaaSLTDDeals]

Wow, such an informative video! The step-by-step breakdown really helps in understanding how to start and scale a digital marketing agency. The tips on identifying target clients and building a team are game-changers. Can't wait to implement these strategies!

[@EcomCarl]

What a comprehensive and valuable resource for anyone looking to start a digital marketing agency! The step-by-step approach and focus on practical insights make this tutorial a must-watch for aspiring entrepreneurs in the field. Excited to see how this guide helps budding marketers achieve their goals! 💡

As a professional digital marketing myself who has worked at various agencies for YEARS....this is HILARIOUS.

[@midashaymaker8308]

Say more please 😅

[@konsciousnkreative]

Why? Please give us the truth we are tired of the paid liars honestly

[@genevieve4202]

@@konsciousnkreative the idea that you can learn hands-on-tools digital marketing, by yourself, in 6-12 months is an absolute fairytale. There is so much industry specific knowledge that you only get taught from being a part of a team, in-person, managing 30+ accounts for YEARS. I hate that everyone is being sold lies.

[@genevieve4202]

@@midashaymaker8308 I have to much to say. Maybe read my comment below and ask me anything. I'll tell you the real digital marketing truth. Also, i've been managing 30+ accounts for years at various agencies and the idea that you can learn this from just managing a couple of businesses is laughable. The difference between a lead gen business (plumbers, lawyers etc) vs Ecomm businesses is HUGE. Then the stage of the lifecycle of the business between an ecomm startup that has no data through its pixel vs how you would manage and scale an ecomm that's expanding internationally is just so, so different.

Thanks for watching!

[@ossikra4530]

A great explanation. I have been searching and preparing for the use of this point for 5 months. What I need to know precisely is, should I know how to use all the platforms or can I start only with just one of them accurately? One of the KZbinrs said before that you should focus on one platform in the beginning, and that's true but I figured out that, some of the customers could need to run an Ad on Google for example. So, how can I solve this problem for this kind of customer while I'm still a beginner starting and working on Facebook ADS and not Google? Should I hire a freelancer in this step?

[@freddiejonesy6168]

Great video

[@looneytunes4603]

Thank you for your video❤❤ Is this applicable in a foreign country? I'm from South Africa and is it possible to start an agency targeting overseas clients?

[@fazlerabbi5622]

Nate dropping knowledge as always… you should really sell a course or write a book Nate id pay whatever to think like u do and have all that knowledge😂 wish you continued the Nate o Brien channel for more personal life insights as well

[@kurtbruner9872]

What is the best course of action for someone who is just starting the process? I have a lot of questions like how many domains/websites to get like do I get a domain for each niche? Do I have separate emails for each blog? So many questions so not sure the best place to start? Of course watching these videos is great but I’m curious about the details.

[@user-gz8rf2qf9f]

Also may I ask what mic setup you guys are using? It sounds crispy clean and would help me a lot

[@jamespectre]

Theoritically, what would be the most valuable skill you can learn that you can charge high ticket for to a business?

[@SantrelMedia]

I would say running ads, it's a (seemingly) scary barrier of entry for most business owners

@@SantrelMedia what are your Thoughts on what some people are pushing on creating an audience then creating a Paid Community?

[@dyank3]

Thanks Nate! One simple question: For how long would you offer to work for free?

[@SantrelMedia]

Until you can prove to the business that you have increased their sales - from there you can pitch them on a package plan

Well...l will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with an expert because trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbie...😊

Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?

I’m going to make 1,000 dollars by may 2024

[@salemalkahtani3417]

Dear Sir , i have a question. Have you made a successful marketing agency which generat this amount of money. if not Why you tell people to do something you did not do it yourself just to promot affiliate links below. it is easy to talk but hard to work. give us proof or no need to make people dream big and lose money then get surprized with big challnges. Why not make your makrketing agency and make thousands of dollars a month as you said and stop making vedios with affiliate links to make a SMALL COMISSION.

What are your thoughts on Eccomerce Store/Dropshipping in 2024 is it a still worthy Vehicle to pursue? or would an agency be better. Ive heard any driver would get you where you wish, but unsure.
