How Media Buyers Can Reach $10K/month Income

I have been working as a media buyer for the last 6 years.

During that time, I have spent over $30M in ad spend and stopped counting.

Now I own an agency generating $60K/MRR, but I could have done it faster...

2019: I started as an unpaid intern.

2020: Junior Media Buyer

2021: Senior Media Buyer

2022: Senior Media Buyer

2023: Team Lead

2024: Quit To Become a Freelancer & Start My Agency

2025: Team of 15 People

I made all the possible mistakes so you wouldn't have to.

I am a huge believer in the concept of WHO not HOW.

Some people already know the answers to your questions.

Let me share 5 ways that helped me get here.

Double down on at least one of them and your income will double in 2024.

Here are 5 ways I used to grow as a Media Buyer:

This will give you an early head start and a shortcut in the future.

#1: Choose the right people you work with

  • Find an accountability buddy who is on the same journey.
  • Join a community or assemble a tribe.
  • Document your journey to reflect.

Find one person on the same path and compete.

This alone will push you to your edge.

#2: Stack connections by becoming a yes-sayer

  • Avoid saying no to any types of offers.
  • Do activities that don't bring direct ROI at the moment.
  • If you avoid saying no and give value for free, you'll start engineering luck.

Easy, right?

#3: Always overdeliver & establish authority

  • Do more than it's expected from you.
  • Commit to posting every day and providing free value on Linkedin.
  • Establish authority in a narrow field, e.g. Media Buyer who specializes in digital products.

Do these 3 things, and you'll be wildly successful.

Not instantly though, it has a compounding effect.

#4: Become the best entry level specialist first

When I first joined an agency I set up introduction meetings with all people who worked there.

I had a conversation with one Media Buyer which changed my life.

I was asking him what is the fastest way to become a Senior media buyer.

He said: "Focus on becoming the best Junior media buyer first."

Here is the lesson for you: master fundamentals before scaling.
