❌ i wasted 6 months. don’t do this. [resending with the link 😮]


Let’s try this again—I hit send way too fast and forgot the link. Oops!

Reader,

When I first started my business, I spent six whole months trying to sell a passive income offer before I had:

❌ My unique frameworks nailed down
❌ An audience that actually wanted it
❌ A marketing strategy beyond “let’s run ads and hope for the best”

I thought if I just put it out there, people would buy. I mean, that’s what the online business world makes it seem like, right?

Create the thing ➡️ Sell the thing ➡️ Wake up to Stripe notifications.

Except… reality check: Selling is a whole lot harder when no one knows who you are.

I had no foundation and, let’s be honest, no real strategy. Just a product and a hope that somehow the right people would find it. And sure, some awesome people did—but not enough to build a thriving business.

Not because the offer was bad. Not because I didn’t work hard enough. But because I skipped the part where I actually built my brand and gave people a reason to trust me first.

And I see so many business owners making the same mistake.

It’s easy to want to skip to the end. But let me tell you, you’ll be playing catch-up the entire time.

Because before your offers can sell with ease, you need:

✨ A brand voice that makes people instantly recognize you
✨ The confidence of knowing exactly what kind of content works for your audience
✨ A few core clients (with testimonials that do the selling for you)
✨ A brand and marketing strategy that has been crafted to work perfectly for you
✨ A consistent marketing routine that keeps you visible without taking over your life

That’s what actually builds momentum.

But momentum doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from showing up consistently, refining what works, and keeping your brand top of mind.

And that’s exactly what I help you do inside The Marketing Bar.
