Prediction time is over

99 services → here’s my 5 favorites

I've been making predictions on this newsletter for the last month now.

Talking about services that are dying. Services that are emerging. Where the market is actually heading versus where people THINK it's going.

Last week I shared 99 potential services you could offer in 2026.

And I got a ton of responses. Most of them basically asking the same thing:

"Okay Jeff, but which ones should I actually focus on?"

Fair question.

Because here's the thing about predictions...

They're only useful if you actually DO something with them.

So I'm doing something new.

I'm hosting a live workshop this Thursday, January 22nd at 1pm Eastern.

And instead of just talking about what MIGHT happen, I'm going to go in depth on 5 services I believe will dominate the next 12-18 months.

Not 99 options.

Five specific, high-demand services that clients are actively budgeting for right now based on what we teach at MeasureU.

The kind that command $5K-$15K per project instead of $500/month retainers.

Here's why I'm telling you about this today.

We're hosting a special bonus Planning Session on Tuesday, January 20th.

It's only available to people who register before then.

We're going to discuss the services that are already driving demand in real agencies, share predictions, and have a roundtable with 6 and 7-figure agency owners reporting from the trenches.

If you register Tuesday or later, you miss it.

So if you've been reading these newsletters thinking "I need to figure out what's next"...

This is your chance to actually position yourself ahead of the curve instead of waiting to see what happens.

The workshop is $99.

I know that sounds low for what you're getting, but I'm not trying to maximize profit here.

I'm trying to help as many people as possible see where the market is going and position correctly.

Because I've ridden this wave before.

Back in 2008 when Google Ads and Analytics were emerging, I went all in while most people dabbled or ignored it.

That decision transformed my business from struggling freelancer to 8-figure agency.

I'm seeing the same pattern now.

Server-side tracking. Consent management. AI implementation. Technical infrastructure.

These aren't "nice to have" anymore.

They're the new essentials.

And most professionals are either completely unaware, aware but paralyzed, or dabbling without fully committing.

That creates a massive opportunity for those who move now.

So here's what I want you to do:

If it resonates, register before Tuesday to get the Planning Session bonus.

Show up Thursday (or watch the recording).

And let's position you for what's actually coming instead of what used to work.

The next 12 months will separate the professionals who thrive for the next decade from those who become obsolete.

I'd rather you be in the first group.
