SMMA Launchpad: Land Your First Clients and Build a Real Social Media Agency
A complete, real-world blueprint for launching a social media marketing agency: tools, pricing, client acquisition, live sales calls, contracts, AI onboarding, and client retention, sourced entirely from a 12-hour real-world training.
Course Overview
This course distills a complete, real-world blueprint for launching and running a social media marketing agency (SMMA), sourced in full from Adam Walsh's 12-hour free digital marketing training. You will go from understanding the size and realism of the digital marketing opportunity, through setting up your first tools (a GoHighLevel website and CRM), to pricing and positioning a service, finding and signing clients even with zero case studies, closing deals on real recorded sales calls, automating onboarding and scheduling with AI, and delivering results that keep clients paying for months at a time. Every lesson is built from real footage of an operator who has personally worked with over 355 clients, including unscripted live sales calls, a real $2,500/month client proposal, and a documented 80,000-follower client case study, not simulated examples.
