Helped hundreds of women build their dream businesses, breaking the rules and becoming their most authentic self since 2016, from a tiny island called Nusa Lembongan, located next to Bali (Indonesia). I love freediving and spending time with my 2 rescue doggies, hubby and 6 years old boy.

If you’re putting out thoughtful, educational, even inspirational content, and still not making sales, this blog post is for you. The truth? Content doesn’t sell just because it’s good. It sells because it hits the right emotional triggers, speaks to decision-ready buyers, and positions you as the only choice.

Here’s what most online business owners miss:

  • You’re teaching, not leading. Educational content builds followers, not clients. Your audience doesn’t need more info. They need belief, in themselves and in you. When you show up like a teacher, they see you as someone who gives free advice. When you show up as a leader, they trust you to take them further.
  • You’re blending in. If your content sounds like every other coach out there, you’re replaceable. And when you’re replaceable, price becomes the only differentiator. Positioning is what makes you uncopyable. It’s what creates demand before you even pitch.
  • You’re not selling with certainty. If you’re unsure, apologetic, or holding back on selling, your audience picks up on it. Sales don’t just come from your words, they come from your energy. When you’re sold on your own offer, others follow.
  • Your energy isn’t aligned. People can feel whether or not you believe in what you’re saying. If your content is rooted in doubt, overthinking, or trying to please everyone, it won’t convert. Selling is an energetic process. You need to be fully sold on yourself and your offers before your audience will be.
  • You’re not speaking to the moment of decision. Great content creates urgency, not pressure, but a clear internal realization that the time is now. The best converting content speaks to real-time fears, frustrations, and desires. It mirrors what your audience is feeling and offers the solution they’ve been looking for.
  • You sound like everyone else. Stop trying to perfect your copy and start saying what you actually think. If you wouldn’t say it out loud to a client, don’t write it. Drop the templates and scripts. Start writing from experience, from emotion, from your own actual thoughts.

This isn’t about rewriting all your content. It’s about showing up like the authority you are. The expert who isn’t just repeating information, but leading a movement. When people read your posts, they should think, “This woman knows her shit.”

That’s what we build inside Elevate. You’ll learn how to:

  • Create content that actually converts
  • Position yourself as the only choice in your niche
  • Build a strategy that creates consistent sales
  • Embody your power and show up with belief, not fear

It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing it better, with intention, clarity, and conviction.

If you’re ready to stop wondering why people aren’t buying and finally start seeing results, go to Elevate.

I help ambitious women build six and multi-six-figure businesses that are bold, profitable, and fully aligned with who they are,  without following cookie-cutter strategies or burning out trying to do it all.

I’ve built three multi-six-figure businesses from scratch, and I’ve helped hundreds of women refine their offers, master their messaging, step into their power with positioning that actually gets them paid.

I don’t teach one way to grow your business online. I help you find YOUR way. The way that matches your energy, your vision, and your big goals. I know you are building an empire, not a cute little side business. 

As a mom of a 6 years old boy, living on a tiny 7km² island in Asia, running a business I love and working just four days a week, I know that you don’t have to choose between ambition and freedom. You get to have both.

Ready to stop doing business like everyone else and finally become the one people buy from because your content and offers are fire?! Let’s go!!
