Over the past 10 years as a Marketing lead for early stage startups I have taken over a dozen companies from ideastage to 6 figure monthly users in <6 months, with little to no budget. Two of those companies exited within 1 year and I've just started sharing my proven pre-funding Startup Marketing techniques that can drive traction, user engagement, press, VC interest and revenue with nothing more than time, focus and elbow grease. Let's chat today and I'd be more than happy to tweak each recommendation to your startup's industry and market.

I would really need to see the ads that you're selling to be able to suggest what method to scale them with... but you hit the nail on the head...You have two options really...building internal sales processes or going through an agency. Usually companies go through an agency first, to get professional handholding in "sales product" development...ie. they help you scale your pricing and ad units and offerings...and get your foot in the door with bigger clients...but you can do a short term contract with most agencies...say 6 months...so that after 6 months you are in a much better spot to handle it on your own and stop paying 30% to an agency...
The easiest answer to this is something a mentor told me a few years ago when I was working on a niche app....she said "do you honestly feel like you could be passionate about this for the next 10 years"? That may not sound like it's relevant but it is...honestly that's the only thing that matters when starting a compay (besides the obvious of is this valuable)...That's the first thing to figure out. Then when I answered and said maybe, she said "do you think that this is the biggest thing you could be doing with your time? Why stop at helping a few thousand people, why not pour 10 years of your life into something that can help millions".....so reframe your question, is my product only helping a few people? Is there something else I could be doing that will help more people? If the answers are obvious then you know what you need to do...back to the drawing board.
The easiest thing to ask identify an expert is what campaigns have they ran and what are some specific successes they've found....if they can answer this with exact keyword mentions...then they know their stuff.
Step one, spend a day researching competitors, keywords, onpage and offpage SEO...and then get yourself knowledgeable enough to find an expert who has experience in your industry and then work with them...try and implement their suggestions yourself if your team can...that will reduce cost.
Thanks for the chat! Some good ideas to implement!
Awesome conversation and incredibly insightful. Looking forward to chatting again Andrew!
Andrew is clearly an experienced startup marketer - we're launching a fintech startup next year and was able to very quickly assess our goals/ budget/ resources for an effective go to market strategy. He answered a lot of specific qs (phased rollouts, PR, email marketing) and was able to reference other companies/ startups who faced similar marketing challenges (why it worked/ didn't) which was incredibly valuable! Highly recommend and look forward to more calls with Andrew. :-)
Really enjoyed talking with Andrew! He really knows his stuff, and provided a lot of actionable tips that I hadn't heard anywhere else. He's also very candid so you'll hear everything that you need to know (both good and bad). Look forward to more conversations with Andrew.
