#254 How to Pitch Yourself as a Marketing Service Provider with Emily Reagan

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.
