How to Hire a Remote CMO Without the Usual Headaches

If you're a small business owner trying to figure out how to hire a remote CMO, let me be blunt: most of what you’ll find out there is a trap. You’ll either get stuck with an overpriced strategist who delivers nothing but slide decks… or get looped into some bloated agency funnel that buries your results under meetings, jargon, and monthly retainers.

I’m not an agency. I’m not part of one either. I’m just one guy — a U.S. citizen living in Thailand, with a lean lifestyle that lets me offer full-time CMO-level support for as little as $10/hour. But here's the catch:

You don’t pay anything unless I bring you results.

What Happens When You Hire the Right Remote CMO?

Let me tell you what happened with one of my recent clients.

This small business had been stuck around $500K per year. They were doing good work but had no marketing systems — no automation, no reactivation, no nurture campaigns, no customer list monetization. Just word of mouth and referrals.

We launched one campaign. Just one.

It was my Customer Revival Strategy — a campaign that targets the low-hanging fruit inside your existing customer list. No ads. No fancy landing pages. Just real strategy, executed with real systems.

Within hours, they booked 8 new jobs. By the weekend, 4 more were pending.

That month? $73,000 in revenue — the highest month they’d ever had.

The second campaign brought in $68,000. We’re now pacing toward $1.5M/year.

And again — they paid nothing upfront.

Why Does This Work?

Because I only get paid if it works.

I operate as a performance-based remote CMO — someone who builds and runs your marketing system from the inside, but without the full-time salary, overhead, or risk.

You get full strategic marketing leadership without the commitment or bloated costs.

• No retainers

• No software to learn

• No “junior strategist” ghostwriting your campaigns

I set up the system. I run the campaigns. I watch the dashboards.
You just get customers.

Wait — You’re Only $10 an Hour?

Yes. And it’s not because I don’t know what I’m doing.

It’s because I live lean in Thailand. My rent, groceries, and overhead are a fraction of what they are back in the States. That allows me to work full-time for what most agencies pay their interns — and still deliver enterprise-level outcomes.

But make no mistake: I only make real money when you do.

Because my model is built on performance. That means:

• If I don’t generate results, I don’t get paid.

• If I do generate results, I offer to stay on for $10/hour + a cut.

• I bring all the systems I’ve built — and I don’t hold anything back.

So What Do You Actually Do?

After the first campaign proves itself, I layer in:

• Automated follow-up and nurture campaigns

• Review generation and reputation marketing

• Daily social posting across your brand

• Re-engagement campaigns and smart texting

• Blog syndication, podcast placement, and content repurposing

• CRM and unified inbox management

• AI voice and SMS agents (like Lexi) trained to follow up instantly

And you don’t have to touch any software unless you want to.

I monitor all dashboards. I test tools every week.
And if I find something better, it gets added to your system automatically.

And If It Doesn’t Work?

If the first campaign doesn’t work — no hard feelings.
You owe me nothing. There’s no contract, no obligation, no awkward sales pitch. I walk away, and you keep whatever I built during setup.

But more often than not?

Clients don’t want me to leave.

Because it’s one thing to hire a remote CMO…
It’s another to finally get a system that runs without you.

People Also Ask

How much does it cost to hire a remote CMO?

Hiring a remote CMO through traditional models can cost between $8,000 to $15,000/month. But my model is different. I charge just $10/hour, plus a small performance cut — and only if the results come in. You can get started without paying a cent upfront.

What does a remote CMO do?

A remote CMO builds and manages your entire marketing system — from strategy to execution. In my case, I launch proven campaigns, automate follow-up, re-engage past customers, and grow your revenue with performance-backed systems. No fluff. Just results.

Is a remote CMO better than an agency?

If you want predictable outcomes, yes. Agencies often pass you off to junior staff and run generic campaigns. I work directly with you, deploy tools I’ve tested myself, and only stay on if I’m delivering real ROI.

Can I hire a CMO part-time?

That’s exactly what I offer — part-time or full-time support depending on your needs. But unlike a traditional part-time hire, you’re not paying for trial and error. You’re paying for systems that already work.

What’s the first step to hiring a remote CMO?

Start by letting me run the Customer Revival Strategy — at no cost. If it works, we keep going. If not, you’ve lost nothing.

Final Thought

Hiring a remote CMO shouldn’t be a leap of faith.

You deserve someone who’s in the trenches with you, testing what works, automating what doesn’t, and keeping the pipeline full — not someone sending reports from a beach while charging you $6K a month.

If you’ve got a customer list, and you want to scale without ads, without retainers, and without headaches…

Let’s launch one campaign.
If it works, I stay on at $10/hour and build out the rest.

You’ll finally have a marketing system that brings in customers while you sleep.
