Mariano: three back to back $50k months as a creative strategist
Mariano works in creative strategy. Here's what he's shared about his results since working with Doju, in his own words and on video.
"3 back to back $50k months now, I can see $100k is in sight, hopefully by the end of the year"
Watch Mariano tell it
The result
We've shared two monthly figures for Mariano on the site. One is $52k a month. The other is $62k a month. Both sit alongside the same milestone: three months in a row at $50k or more.
That's the part I'd focus on. Not one big month, but three back to back. Mariano's own words are above. He's aiming for $100k a month and hopes to get there by the end of the year.
There's one more stated result. In the first month we worked together, he got $12k from 1,000 followers. That's a small audience, and it shows you don't need a big following to win work.
That's everything we've published so far. For the rest, watch the video above.
What Doju covers for creative strategists
Creative strategists sell thinking, not files. That makes positioning and the sales process matter even more. Here's how the four stages Doju works on apply to that kind of work.
- Heard. Getting seen by the people with budget, rather than other strategists. The lead funnel is built around your strengths, whether that's content, warm outreach or referrals you can actually cause.
- Hooked. Making it obvious you're for them. Who you're for, the problem you fix and how you package it, so they don't have to work out what you do.
- Heat. Building trust before the call through proof, content and a pre-call process that warms leads up before they speak to you.
- Hired. The 20 minute sales call, proposal templates and follow-ups, so you can be the expensive option they pick anyway.
Underneath that is the Doju Method: Define, Offer, Journey, Upgrade, then Scale once the work is coming in. If you want the bigger picture on getting steady work, read how to get consistent clients as a designer. Most of it applies to strategists too.
Is this realistic for you?
Honestly, it depends. Mariano's numbers are his. Results vary, and they depend on how much of the system you actually put in place.
Doju is for creative business owners who already sell a skill and are tired of good months followed by bad ones. Most members are earning $3k to $15k a month when they join. It also works for people already at $15k to $20k who have become the bottleneck.
It's not for you if you haven't provided your service before and don't have any clients yet. Start there first. It's also not for people who want to buy something and never open it. Most members spend 3 to 5 hours a week on implementation. You need to do the work.
If you're weighing it up, is Doju worth it? goes through the trade-offs plainly.
