Freelancer Visibility Series #5
Think your brand messaging is "fine"? Think again. If your content still sounds like a generic VA or a watered-down version of your mentor, you’re missing out on paid opportunities, real alignment, and meaningful client connection. The missing piece? Your true brand voice. It's time to bring your personality front and center.
In this Visibility Series episode, I’m joined by Jen Liddy—Brand Voice & Messaging Strategist and creator of The YOU-Algorithm™, a human-first messaging process. After recovering from teaching high school and college English, Jen took her nerdy Word Powers into marketing and never looked back. Now she helps experts and service providers pull out their brilliance and translate it into words their audience can actually hear (instead of scrolling past).
Together, we’re diving deep into what makes brand messaging truly magnetic. Hint: it’s not about being louder, perkier, or performing jazz hands on Instagram. Jen shares why your brand voice is the final, most powerful piece of the messaging puzzle and how to use it to connect, convert, and stand out without pretending to be someone you’re not.
Listen to learn more about:
- Why your voice (not just your value) is what actually sells your services
- How to identify and embrace your brand personality—even if you hate the spotlight!
- What outdated messaging from 2020 still lurks on service provider websites & how to fix it
- Why your marketing content might sound like AI wrote it and how to humanize it ASAP
- How brand messaging evolves with your niche, and why it’s okay to "shed" as you grow
If your content sounds more like a template than a real human, this episode will help you put the personality back in your brand messaging and finally connect in a way that feels real.
