I Never Thought It Was Possible, But Getting Laid Off Twice Gave Me The Clarity To Build Something That Actually Works.
This isn’t the typical “about page” where I list my credentials and hope you’re impressed.
This is the story of why I built The Customer Magnet Page™—and why I’m the right person to write yours.
If you’ve been burned by marketers who promised results and delivered excuses, keep reading. This page is for you.
“The seed that grew into Jason Hobbs, LLC came from those conversations with Gramps. I’m using a different medium—the internet instead of a sign shop—but the same principles and ethics form the foundation.”
where this started
I Started This Business Because Of A Sign Shop In South Georgia.
My grandfather—I called him Gramps—ran Ken Hobbs Signs in Fitzgerald, Georgia for nearly five decades. During the twenty months I spent caring for him and my Grandmother Hazel, we talked constantly. Business. Ethics. What it takes to earn a customer’s trust.
He never went to college. He never hired a marketing agency. He never ran a Facebook ad.
What he did was listen. He paid attention to his customers, understood their problems, and used plain language to tell them how he could help.
That’s it. That’s the whole system.
Five decades. One town. A reputation so strong they still talk about him.
I graduated with my marketing degree from Valdosta State University in May 2010 with honors. And then I spent over a decade trying to bring what Gramps knew instinctively into the digital age—for local business owners who had built great businesses but felt invisible online.
I Did What I Always Warned My Clients Not To Do.
I Chose “Safe” Over “Real.”
When the pandemic hit in 2020, I got scared.
After more than a decade of running my own business, helping local owners find their footing online, I decided I needed the security of a corporate job. A paycheck. Benefits. The illusion of stability.
I abandoned the one thing I’d built—and the people I’d built it to serve.
I’m not saying it to be hard on myself. I’m saying it because I suspect you understand exactly what that feels like: making a decision out of fear that you later realize was a mistake.
“I spent four years in that corporate job. And then I was restructured out.”
It took me close to a year before I found another job. Entry-level sales. Barely enough to feed myself, my two dogs, one cat, and the three feral cats who had claimed my back porch as theirs.
Eight months later, I was restructured out of that one too.
Two layoffs in two years. The second time with almost nothing in the bank.
I sat at my kitchen table in Fitzgerald, Georgia, looking at a bank account that didn’t have a comfortable cushion in it, and I made a decision:
Never again. Not the corporate job. Not the “safe” path. Back to the work I actually know how to do—and this time, I’m not going to be everything to everyone. I’m going to be the best at one specific thing.
That thing is this: using your customers’ exact words to write a sales page that converts. Delivered in 5 days.
If You’ve Been Burned Before, I Want You To Know Something.
I know you’ve probably heard a version of this before. Someone with a good story and a persuasive pitch who took your money and didn’t deliver.
I’m not going to tell you I’m different and ask you to take my word for it.
Instead, I’m going to tell you exactly what I’m doing differently—and let you decide.
- First: The price is low because I need proof-of-concept, not because the work is less valuable. I was laid off twice. I need real success stories more than I need top dollar. That’s not marketing language. That’s the truth of where I am right now.
- Second: Everything is delivered in 5 days or we talk. There are no 6-month contracts. No retainers. No “trust the process.” You pay once, you get everything, and by Day 5 it’s live.
- Third: I’m only taking 10 customers at the proof-of-concept price. That’s not artificial scarcity. That’s because I want to do this right—deep research, careful writing, real implementation—and I can only do that properly for a few people at a time.
- Fourth: If it doesn’t convert after 30 days, we’re on a call together figuring out why. I don’t hand you files and disappear. That’s not how Gramps did it. It’s not how I do it either.
“I’m building long-term relationships with you, regardless of geography. My LLC is undercapitalized without any ceiling whatsoever—because I am incredibly hungry and quite talented.”
— Jason Hobbs, from the original Jason Hobbs, LLC mission statement
That hunger hasn’t changed. What’s changed is the focus. One product. One reader. One goal.
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d like to work with you
Same Principles. Same Ethics. One New Weapon.
As I return to Jason Hobbs, LLC in 2026, I bring back everything I’ve learned in the trenches: the understanding of what local business owners actually need, the discipline to focus on what works, the humility to ask before I assume.
But I also came back with something I didn’t have before.
AI.
Not as a shortcut. Not as a replacement for thinking. As an exoskeleton that amplifies what I already know how to do.
Deep voice-of-customer research—the kind that used to take weeks—now takes days. Pattern recognition across hundreds of customer interactions. Language extraction from every email, every review, every recorded call.
This is what lets one person do what a 5-person agency does, at a fraction of the cost and with none of the overhead.
What Gramps Knew That Most Marketers Don’t
He never used the word “copy.” He never talked about “conversion rates” or “customer acquisition.”
He just listened. Carefully. To every customer who came through his door. He learned their language. He understood their problems before they finished explaining them.
And then he solved them—using words they recognized as their own.
That’s all I do.
I find the words your customers are already using. I organize them. I turn them into a page that makes the right person think: “This person gets me.”
Gramps did it with a handshake and a conversation.
I do it with more than a decade of experience, an iterable research methodology, and AI that lets me work faster than any team I could ever afford to hire.
Your Customers Are Already Telling You What To Say.
I’ll find it, organize it, and turn it into a page that converts—in 5 business days. First 10 customers at $997.

He made sure I understood how and why to set up my site…I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jason again. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and knows his stuff.”
Jennifer Jackson, Founder

“I received more value during two sessions with Jason, a total of 6.75 hours, than I got from the many months and literally thousands of dollars I invested in self-study, online tutorials and formal training with others. My investment in Jason’s time was extremely cost-efficient and the ROI is beyond question.”

The Seed That Grew Into Jason Hobbs, LLC – Est. 2008
The inspiration for my business came from my Grandparents, Grandma and Gramps. During my time caring for them, there were many conversations – especially with Gramps. These talks covered a wide array of topics, yet they all seemed to come back to his decades as an entrepreneur and small business owner in the South Georgia community and the lessons he learned while running his small business.
These talks were the seed that is blossoming into my small business. I’m using a different medium for delivery of the service but the same principles and ethics that served Gramps so successfully for so many decades form the foundation of Jason Hobbs, LLC.
Early in 2005, my Grandfather Kenneth L Hobbs asked me to “be around” for him and my Grandmother Hazel Hobbs so they could stay at their home of more than fifty years in Fitzgerald, Georgia. This was the community they raised their child in and where my grandfather, whom I affectionately knew as Gramps all my life, had operated his sign shop for nearly five decades.
Gramps
Five months prior to making his request, Gramps had been diagnosed with lung cancer and given no more than 6 months to live. In the end, he lived more than two years longer than the doctors ever expected and never underwent treatment of any kind.
Forever Thankful
He was cared for by my Grandmother for the better part of six decades and by the lovely ladies from the Blue and Gray Hospice in Fitzgerald over the last two and a half years of his life. They were supported by my Grandma’s sister and brother in law (Bill and Gaynelle Dixon), her nephew (Ron Ellington), my Mom (Regina Hutto) and the majority of her sisters (Sue Harper, Janet Hutto, Cynthia Hutto, and Theresa Alexander) and me (Jason Hobbs).
During the twenty months caring for my Grandparents, there were many conversations between the three of us, me and Gramps in particular, and the talks covered any number of topics including his decades as an entrepreneur and small business owner in the South Georgia community and the lessons he learned.
My Grandparent’s Legacy, My LLC
One thing led to another and on May 8, 2010; I graduated with my Marketing Degree from Valdosta State University with Honors.
Jason Hobbs, LLC’s mission, is to profitably democratize online opportunity for people everywhere. Additionally, my passion is building long-term relationships with you, regardless of geography, etc.
My LLC is undercapitalized without any ceiling whatsoever as I am incredibly hungry and quite talented.
