The secret to sales? Stories.

You’ve heard it before: people buy from people they know, like, and trust. Duh.

But if your content’s all about reaching new people, you might find that even though your stats are going up… enquiries aren’t.

And if all around you people are smashing their goals and getting booked out months in advance, that little voice in your head might be whispering “why not me?”

So you tweak your logo (again) and pick out the perfect “trust me, I’m awesome” shade of blue for your colour palette (even though you’ll be over it in a week).

Or worse — you realise nothing’s working at all and you’re out of ideas (cue shame spiral).

In brand world, love at first sight goes way beyond a colour palette and pretty logo. For your perfect-fit humans to fall head over keyboard in love, there’s gotta be substance.

good thing you've got bucketloads of that.

here's the deal

Showing up and sharing your unique brand stories is the fastest, most reliable way to get your potential clients from “ooh, cool brand” to “Drop everything. I need HER in my life”…no matter what the algorithm overlords are saying this week.

“Showed me how to make social media work for ME!”

I wasn't showing up for myself, being too much of a perfectionist, and I had a hard time showing up consistently. This challenge not only gave me new & intentional content ideas, but allowed me to learn about myself and how to use social media in a way that works for me & my brand.

YOUR LBMB GUIDE

I’m Eva, your new biggest fan

Ever been scrolling your feed, only to realise everything feels kinda samey? *eye twitch*

It’s not just you. We’re coming out of the great age of beige on social media. Beige templates, beige opinions, beige brands… it’s not what stand-out brands are about. I should know — I’ve built a whole-ass career around helping my clients leave behind the “shoulds” keeping them chained to sameness, to embrace the “hell yes” strategic brand they’ve always been on the inside.

The secret? Becoming an uncopyable badass brand by putting your unique style, personality, and way of doing business out there for the whole world to see. Regularly. Authentically. Badass-ily*.

And it all starts with Stories.

*What? That’s a word.

let's tell yours
Eva Couto

THESE ONES POP UP A LOT.

SEE IF YOURS IS ANSWERED BELOW.

Will this work for my industry, field or niche?

So far it's worked for designers, developers, illustrators, tattoo artists, bakers, coaches, therapists, beauty & wellness specialists, marketing experts, SMM, copywriters, podcasters, professional organisers, dog trainers, jewellers, event planners... catch my drift? *wink* No matter how crowded or noisy your specific industry feels, these frameworks & prompts will help you stand out and attract your ideal audience, clients and customers. And there hasn't been a niche yet I haven't been able to make it work for (but try me, I love a challenge).

How long do I have access to LBMB?

You’ll get 10 emails over the course of 10 days (yes, you get weekends off!) So, because this is an email challenge, you'll have access to all the content for as long as you keep my emails. Save them to a folder or copy the content to your own document platform if you want to be super extra safe. Also, if you finish the challenge within 30 days, you can unlock a secret Notion prompt bank which will be yours to keep — just duplicate it to your own (free) Notion account.

How do refunds work?

Due to the nature of digital products (they’re kinda unreturnable — it’s a whole thing), all sales are final. If you're wondering whether this (or any of my other offers) is a good fit for you, send me an email at hello@evacoutodesign.com

No one sees or engages with my content, won't I just be speaking to crickets?

This challenge is designed to form the foundations of your brand social strategy and is something all entrepreneurs need to get in the habit of sharing — whether you have 0 clients or 100. Brand foundations are a forever thing — they’ll always be relevant, always be needed, and the more you get used to sharing your stories, the stronger they’ll become. So you can reshare this content again & again as your audience grows, and save it all to highlights so it has a permanent home. Then new potential clients can see at a glance if you're the right fit for them!

How much time do I have to dedicate to each prompt?

5 seconds to open an email, 5 minutes to learn the theory & 1 minute to put together an Instagram Story for just 10 days. If you’re taking 30 minutes to film, you’re overthinking it! LBMB is about giving you BACK time from thinking about what to post with formulas & frameworks designed to help you build your memorable brand.

Will I have to show my face on camera? #shyintrovert #ohgod

Each prompt will give you the framework for creating it as a written “faceless” story or speaking face-to-face on camera. I highly encourage speaking on camera because it’s proven to not only be more engaging, but will also build trust faster with your audience. But if you want to test the waters (and your nerves) with written slides, you can! I will of course be your biggest, loudest cheerleader no matter which option you choose.

Stand out as YOU in a sea of them

It's time to show those perfect-fit clients what they've been missing.
