Freelancer Visibility Series #6

If you've ever felt frozen at the idea of putting yourself out there, you're not alone. Sweaty palms, second-guessing every word in the email, wondering “Who am I to pitch myself?” But visibility doesn’t come from waiting in the wings. It starts with one pitch. One message. One connection. In this episode, I’m showing you exactly how to pitch yourself as a freelance marketing service provider—without feeling like a sleazy PR bro.

This is the final chapter in our Visibility Series, and it’s a big one. Whether you’re a digital marketing VA, copywriter, social media manager, or finally stepping into your full-blown marketing unicorn era, this episode is for you. I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to get seen, get booked, and get known as the go-to expert in your space.

Plus, I'll share how I went from quietly engaging in online communities to landing a seat on Amy Porterfield’s mastermind stage. Hint: It wasn’t overnight, and it wasn’t luck. 

Listen to learn more about:

  • The exact mindset shifts you need to confidently pitch yourself, even if you feel like a newbie
  • Why copy-paste pitch templates are killing your chances—and what to do instead
  • Why genuine engagement and relationship-building beat cold pitching every time (and how it led to my biggest speaking gig)
  • How to position your real, in-the-trenches experience as your strongest pitching superpower
  • My favorite hacks for researching podcasts and writing standout pitches that position you as an easy YES

If you want to land dreamy podcast guest spots, client collaborations, or visibility ops that convert into premium clients, you need to know how to pitch yourself like the pro you already are. This episode breaks down the fears, the myths, and the exact steps to start booking those opportunities and becoming known for your marketing magic.
