👋 Hi, I’m Nick Lafferty.

I'm a growth advisor for startups specializing in SEO, paid ads, and affiliate marketing. I previously led growth at Loom, Mailgun, and Magical.

I've spent millions of dollars on Google ads and hit the front page of Hacker News.

I'm taking a limited amount of consulting clients right now. Send me an email or add me on LinkedIn if you need help with growth marketing.

What I'm up to

I quit my job in May 2023 to build a solo business and I'm documenting the entire journey, including sharing my monthly income and costs, in my newsletter The Early Exit Club.

My wife and I published a children's book using AI called Winnie in The Window.

I've built a collection of my favorite free Notion templates and I started a podcast called Template Titans that features popular Notion template creators.
