75. Boundaries, blind spots, and pricing with Shannon Mattern

This week's chat with Shannon is full of the kind of wisdom you only get from doing it the hard way first. We get into how she built the Web Designer Academy after a rough year of freelancing, why her brand was born from one rude comment in a WordPress forum, and how she thinks about boundaries, mentors, and the one pricing mistake she sees experienced designers make over and over. The pricing reframe alone is worth a listen.What we get into:* How to think about boundaries as guidelines for yourself, not punishments for your clients* The difference between a coach who shows you more of you, and one who turns you into a copy of them* The pricing reframe that flipped how I think about charging (clients aren’t buying you, they’re investing in themselves through you)About Kierian: Shannon Mattern is the founder of the Web Designer Academy which provides strategic pricing, sales and business coaching for women web designers.She’s also the host of the Profitable Web Designer podcast where she shares pricing strategies, mindset shifts and behind-the-scenes stories to help women web designers stop overdelivering, raise prices, and create the freedom and income they desire.Find Kierian:* Website: webdesigneracademy.com* Podcast: webdesigneracademy.com/podcast======================💌 Want this podcast, more design nuggets as well as a nosey at what's cooking behind the scene delivered straight to your inbox? studiocoya.com/newsletter📱 Let's be friends on Instagram: instagram.com/studiocoya This is a public episode.

Most people assume it's a marketing problem. Spoiler: it's not. I'm getting into the bit nobody really talks about, including my own procrasti-tweaking confession, and the sourdough starter analogy that completely reframed how I think about branding my offers now.What I get into:* Why every marketing push for your offer feels like starting from scratch (and what’s actually causing it)* The difference between building your offer and branding it (and why most people only ever do the first one)* My own procrasti-tweaking confession * How a properly branded offer works like a sourdough starter, feeding every single thing you do for it======================🍞 Want your offer to stop getting overlooked?

72. The difference between explaining your offer and showcasing it

In this episode, I go through how to showcase your offer (make people feel it) instead of over-explaining it: ditch the caveats, lead with the scene, and let the offer stand on its own.I’m using a jam stand analogy (because of course I am) to show you how to shift from “here’s why it’s good” to “here’s what it does” so your offer can finally breathe and land.What we get into:* Why over-explaining feels productive (but doesn’t change how your offer lands)* The 3 shifts that turn you into a “host” for your offer instead of a translator for it* Three simple moves to try ======================🍞 Want your offer to stop getting overlooked?

70. Your offer is lost in your own brand... and it's costing you

If you’ve posted about your offer a bunch of times and people still act like it’s brand new… it’s probably not a content problem.In this episode, I’m breaking down why your offer doesn’t “stick” when it shows up with a different look every time, and how one repeatable visual cue can do the remembering for you.In this episode, we cover:* Why variety makes you entertaining, but repetition makes you recognisable* What a visual anchor actually is (and what it’s not)* A quick test: can someone tell your last 5 posts are about the same offer without reading?Want a second pair of eyes?
