Yesterday, I wrapped up my own promo early because I have something new and urgent to promote today:
Nick Bandy’s $10k Client-Getting Cohort.
This is for you if you’re a freelancer and:
* You’re making little money
* You have just one client who is monopolizing all your time (9-5 disguised as freelancing)
* You’re not getting paid well for the work you do, and you therefore have to work and hustle after midnight just to hit some baseline income each month
I’m promoting Nick and his cohort for two reasons.
Reason one is that Nick won my “I endorse you” auction last year, and it’s part of our deal. Like I’ve said repeatedly, I was lucky Nick won the auction, and I’ve been able to endorse him wholeheartedly since, because… well, that brings up to reason two.
Reason two is that Nick is legitimately an expert on getting freelancing clients. Consider the following:
#1. For the the past two years, Nick has worked as a fractional CMO with a company that has paid him $12k/month for 5 hours of work a week.
Nick got that cushy role by first doing a small freelancing job for the client, then working and winding his way deeper into the client’s business, until it was just easier for the client to offer him a fractional CMO retainer rather than keep hiring him for one-off jobs.
It hasn’t been just one “lucky break” either.
Before that, Nick was the partner of a marketing agency. He came in as a freelancer in 2015 to write some blog posts and left, 8 years later, as Associate Creative Director and profit-sharing partner.
#2. As part of his fractional CMO gig, Nick hired a bunch of freelancers and agencies himself, for everything from PPC to SEO to blog writing to PR to Reddit reputation management.
In other words, Nick doesn’t just have experience getting, upselling, and retaining clients as a freelancer. He also knows from the other side what clients want and how they can be smoothly guided to ongoing, profitable engagements.
#3. Nick has literally written the book on getting high-ticket freelancing clients, or rather, he has created a series of courses on the matter which are both selling at a profit each day to cold traffic (no easy feat, as I’m finding out these days) and that I have gone through, profited from directly, and promoted to this list.
After years of contentedly sitting around in his bathrobe and clicking a few buttons each week for his $12k retainer client, Nick has now decided to get several new clients, because he wants to start up an email agency.
Since he’s gonna be looking for new clients over the coming weeks, he’s offering to take a few smart and cool freelancers or agency owners along with him for the ride.
That’s the offer I want to promote to you urgently, and that I couldn’t wait any longer to tell you about.
Nick’s cohort kicks off this Wednesday.
If you want in, you’ll have to talk to Nick by tomorrow. Here are the details of his offer, in his own words:
===
I’m pitching businesses again.
I’m looking for low-stress, high dollar-per-hour arrangements with the potential for repeat work.
I’m inviting others to join me and work alongside me.
I’ll help you find, pitch, close, upsell, and retain clients.
The goal is to get you your next $10,000 in client work, AND leave you with a repeatable playbook to keep getting low-stress, high dollar-per-hour clients like these, for as long as you desire.
I will continue to support you for as long as it takes to hit $10,000 in client work.
So, how much to invest?
$5k.
That’s to land clients paying you more than you’re currently charging, with less work than you’re currently performing.
The last job I landed at the very beginning of 2025 was a few emails and some opt-in form copy for $4,000 dollars. It took me maybe 5 hours to write. That turned into a $12,000 per month retainer.
(Despite the fact that the client never suggested, hinted, or implied that there would be repeat work.)
Even if you only land $4k worth of work per month for the next year, that’s $48,000…almost a 10x return.
Assuming you don’t retire from client work in a year, you can do the math.
Because of that, $5k is a reasonable investment.
But not everyone has $5,000 lying around.
I would have been hesitant to invest $5k up front back in 2024.
So here’s what we’re going to do:
➡️ You pay me $2k today to get started.
➡️ You pay me another $3k after you get your next $10,000 in client work.

If you’re interested in getting higher-ticket, cooler clients with Nick’s help, hit reply to this email, and tell me who you are and what you currently do. If I think Nick could do a good job getting you $10k worth of new clients, I’ll tell you so, and I’ll put you in touch with the dude.
