☕ nobody cares about your offer


If all you’re doing is posting product photos or Canva graphics with your service list, dare I say you're wasting your damnn time.

Because harsh truth: no one f*cking cares.

People don’t buy because you told them what you do. They buy because you made them feel something. Because in a sea of options, you gave them a reason to stop, to stay, to see themselves in what you shared.

And I know, you probably do think your offer is special. Your process is thoughtful, your product is high-quality, your results are real. I’m not saying that’s not true. But what I am saying is that your audience doesn’t care as much as you think they do. Not yet.

You care about how it’s made. The materials you use. The way you’ve refined your method over the years. And that’s valid.

But your audience? They care about what it means for them. About whether it works. About how it’ll help, solve, or serve in their real life.

If I’m buying a dog toy for Benson, I’m not scrolling for a breakdown of material sourcing or a close-up of stitching. I want to see a pitbull going feral in a tug-of-war, and that toy still holding strong days, weeks, months later. I want to trust that it can handle my dog, not just hear that it’s “indestructible.”

That’s the shift: your words might describe the thing, but your content has to prove it.

And for service providers? A templated Canva graphic listing your offers isn’t the flex you think it is. People aren’t connecting with bullet points and pretty graphics, they’re connecting with people. With tone, delivery, perspective, a face, a voice, a vibe.

Show me how you think. Let me behind the scenes. Walk me through the way you approach problems. Show me the work in action, the people you’ve helped, the moments that made you proud. Share the story, not just the summary.

Because the truth is, no one is going to care about your offer just because it exists.

You’ve got to make them feel why it matters. You’ve got to create content that doesn’t just inform, but resonates.

So before you hit publish on your next post, ask yourself:

👉 Am I just listing what I do?

👉 Or am I helping someone see why it matters to them?

That difference is what turns passive scrollers into curious buyers.

Until next time,

Marissa

The Content Pour-Over

Just like making coffee, anyone can create content. But crafting crave-worthy content, much like a perfect pour-over, requires effort. Subscribers to the Content Pour-Over get weekly actionable insights to enhance their content through marketing psychology and brand strategy principles.

Understandably, when most business owners reach out to me, they have the same goal. Sign more clients, make more money, etc. And usually, their brain at this point jumps straight to things like: “I should probably post more social content.” "Maybe I should invest in SEO or AI search discovery." “Do I need a better funnel??” “Maybe I should rebrand…again.” But I want to challenge you that sometimes the bottleneck isn’t visibility or discovery. It’s your process. Specifically…your website,...

I hate to be the one to tell you, but no…you’re probably not going to convert high-ticket clients using social media alone. And that’s coming from me - a girlie who lives, breathes, and swears by content being the only thing you need to build your brand and attract best-fit clients. But ahem.... “content” doesn’t just mean Reels and carousel posts. Do most of my clients find me on social? Yes. Do they tell me my content is one of the reasons they felt confident hiring me? Also yes. But be so...

Has anyone else noticed the income claims resurfacing on IG lately? Not the wild “I made $100K in 10 days” bullshit… but the opposite. Vulnerability posts where people with over 50k followers admit they made $1–4k in a month. 😅 And listen, any money is good money. I’m pro-honesty, always. But these posts fire me up because they’re the wake-up call people actually need... What we see online rarely matches what’s happening in the business. Take a few service providers I admire. They’re insanely...
