SMART MARKETER
About this episode

Nish Samantray and his wife took their E-Comm business ‘Arrae’ from zero to one million dollars in revenue in just eight months. A couple of years later, they’re now spending half a million dollars every month (with the Smart Marketer Agency) on paid advertising! How does that even happen? You’ll find out exactly how in this episode. Nish and Molly Pittman break it down and marvel at the story. Did they have a head start? Sort of. Did they have an unfair advantage? Not particularly. Find out the exact strategies and steps they took (after investing their whole wedding budget) so that you can glean tips and insights for your own brand and businesses.
