Freelancer Visibility Series #4
Stand out as a Freelance Marketer with Your Story Framework
One of the most overlooked tools in your marketing toolbox: your origin story. Not just the “I started freelancing during naptime” version, but the powerful, personality-packed version that builds trust, separates you from the rest of the VA crowd, and makes you the obvious YES for your dream clients.
In this Visibility Series episode, I’m chatting with Megan Yelaney, a business strategist and podcaster who’s helped over 1,000 coaches go from overlooked to fully booked (and even hit million-dollar years) by creating magnetic brands through her Distinctive Edge Framework. She shares how her own edge came to life during a hilariously awkward attempt at a “booty pose” health coach photo, captured in a behind-the-scenes video that went viral and ultimately sparked her Pretty Awkward brand. That moment showed her the power of authenticity, and now she helps others tap into their own origin stories to stand out online, connect with dream clients, and grow without chasing trends or burning out.
Listen in to learn more about
- Why your origin story is a full-blown client attraction magnet
- How to craft your story framework so it resonates and converts
- The real reason authenticity works (and why most people still get it wrong)
- What to do when you feel like your personality isn’t “professional” enough
- The difference between sharing a story that just “inspires” vs makes people buy
This episode is 100% real talk on what makes clients choose YOU. If you’ve been shrinking in your messaging or fumbling to explain your value, Meg’s story framework will give you the confidence and clarity you need to stand out. You’ll leave with practical ways to use your story as your edge, including that quirky thing you thought you had to hide.
