$31K a month: interview-reported marketing matches, March 30th, 2024

It matches businesses with selectively vetted digital marketing partners. Its $31K a month was reported by the founder in an interview (not independently verified), as of March 30th, 2024.

What it actually sells

CJAM Marketing sells a personalized matchmaking service that helps businesses find marketing partners. Its process establishes business goals and objectives, then provides strategy proposals from selected partner agencies.

It matches businesses with digital marketing partners by industry specialization, goals, budget, and company size. It also claims direct-line access to agency CEOs and directors.

How it charges

CJAM Marketing charges businesses a nominal one-time service fee. Its site says providers pay the founder a finder’s fee from their lead-generation budgets, which makes the nominal client fee possible.

Where customers come from

The site offers a free 16-point marketing-agency interview guide with answers and free consultation appointments.

What stands out

The founder describes the network as selectively vetted: “With over 1000 marketing agencies vetted, I’ve only accepted 100+ digital marketing partners into the network.”

The site speaks directly to business owners comparing agencies: “If you are like other business owners, you have multiple tabs open, each with a different agency.” The founder also states experience speaking to over 1000 marketing agencies and contractors and supporting businesses over 10 years.

Where it sits in the data

CJAM Marketing's $31K a month is higher than 79% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer is a business owner searching for a digital marketing agency. Building the service would require a dependable flow of agency information, a process for checking partners, and enough distribution to reach owners who are actively comparing agencies.

The hard parts are vetting partners, matching their services to business requirements, and maintaining the support needed to move consultations and proposals through. Provider relationships can be competitive, while claims about agency performance may require careful review and clear terms.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

My view is that the pricing structure is worth studying: the business charges businesses a nominal fee while accepting a finder’s fee from selected marketing providers.
