FMS PRO
Three MasterMind Platforms In One for Marketers in the Investing & Trading Niches
Join the mastermind full of marketers who've sold billions of dollars of subscriptions in your niche.
From the FMS PRO community Discord:
FMS Pro is the mastermind for the investment newsletter and trader education industries.
It’s built around three core platforms:
The FMS PRO Discord Channel
The FMS Pro Monthly Marketing Mastermind Call
The FinPub Accelerator in-person mastermind
Our community is second to none in terms of real-world revenue producers.
You’ll find the marketers and teams responsible for literal billions in subscription sales in conversation across all three of these platforms.
This is NOT a group for “theoretical” marketers – it’s full of real-world, working in the industry right now marketers at the top of the game.
This is NOT a one-size fit’s all marketing group either. We’re NOT promoting some guru’s “perfect” marketing model or funnel.
You’ll see a wide variety of founders and marketers who wildly successful using different marketing and funnel models.
You’ll get to talk to them, ask questions, get help, insights, and share your successes.
Yes, you’ll be able to find super-affiliates, copywriters, media buyers, and other relationships across the industry in here.
You’ll be plugged into one of the greatest communities of marketers focused exclusively in financial.
Let’s take a quick tour of FMS PRO.
The FMS PRO Discord Community
This keeps you plugged 365-days a year.
FMS PRO gives you a place to connect across the industry to do the day-to-day business that needs to get done all year long.
- Find Affiliates
- Ad Swaps
- buy & sell traffic
- needs/wants
If you’re revenue is the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with then you’ll want to spend alot of time in this community.
You’ll be talking to the marketers of many of the top performing companies in the industry.
You’ll connect with a wide range of founders and marketers.
From the owners of small $1m-$5 million trader education companies.
On to the founders who’ve built $100+ million independent newsletter publishing and trader education companies.
And the publishers & marketers responsible for building $500 million publishing empires.
Many of the highest-selling copywriters in industry history.
The top super affiliates for trader education and investment newsletter subscriptions.
The head of media buying and acquisition for some of the fastest growing publishers online today.
The top legal teams working in financial publishing.
You’ll see top selling industry copywriters helping & sharing in the chat channels.
You’ll be talking to the marketers of many of the top performing companies in the industry.
FMS Pro has a copy-channel in the Discord server where you can interact with everyone from legendary copywriters in the industry down to the solid junior writers grinding out the day to day copy work for top publishers.
You can get critiques of your promos, insights into new copy approaches, and discuss both the blockbusters and the bombs.
Everyone in here has had big successes (and failures) in the investing and trading niches.
When you join FMS Pro you get plugged into the industry in a way you couldn’t in any other place.
This is where Finpub marketers and founders come to solve problems, get new marketing insights, and connect across the industry.
But the FMS Pro Discord is just one of the three mastermind platforms you get as a member.
The FMS PRO Monthly Marketer's Zoom Call
The second mastermind platform included in FMS PRO is our Monthly Marketing Call.
Finance is a unique niche because the markets are always moving.
And the types of promos that work at any given time changes faster than in any other industry.
So we get together monthly to talk about what promos are working, deal with marketing problems, talk about niche-specific legal issues, and more.
Some members come to hear what affiliate promotions they should be running for maximum revenue, others to talk through marketing challenges, get insights into new opportunities and more.
This call has quickly become the beating heart of the niche where everyone comes to find ways to increase short term revenue.
We record every call.
You can review past calls in the FMS Pro Resource Library.
Some calls we will start with specific issues – like the FTC’s click to cancel rule, or help everyone deal with email deliverability changes, or just talk promo.
New members get to introduce themselves to the rest of the community here.
It’s the place for you and your team to build relationships all year long.
The FinPub Accelerator in-person Mastermind
I’ve run the FInPub Acceletor for over 6 years.
It’s been the preeminent mastermind for Financial Publishing.
You can attend virtually or in-person.
We get together for 2-days, twice a year.
This is where we deep dive into how to build revenue, acquire customers at scale, and more.
I’ve traditionally used this platform to connect the industry to other parts of finance. We’ve had billionaires, former heads of $60+ billion funds, multi-billion dollar PE firms, and more join us to do businesses.
I decided to include this in FMS Pro because I realized it functions more productively if we allow more of the industry to join us.

Plus, You get to Join the conversations with "ask me anything" Sessions .
Plus, I'll be available weekly for introductions, connections, and Q&A.
I'll be "on call" every
friday inside FMS PRO to connect you around the industry
One thing about being a major hub in the industry is that I get inundated with questions, requests for introductions, connections, and more.
I have a reputation for being hard to get ahold of because if I respond to everyone when they reach out I would never get anything else done.
But FMS PRO gives me a solution.
Inside FMS PRO I’m blocking off every Friday morning to be available for intros, questions, connections and to help with anything you might need.
I’ll be in the Discord community responding to DMs each week.
