You’ve got the goods – years of experience, a solid reputation, and expert knowledge of your field. So, why does your marketing still sound like everyone else’s?
Too many business owners sit on a goldmine of insight but don’t know how to shape it into marketing that actually drives sales. The issue isn’t what you know, it’s how you’re communicating it (or not), but it’s not about being louder – it’s about being clearer. Here’s how to turn your expertise into marketing that works, consistently.
Know what your audience needs to hear
The first mistake most businesses make is saying what they want to say, instead of what their audience needs to hear. You’re not marketing to yourself, you’re speaking to someone with a specific problem, pressure, or priority. And they’re looking for someone who gets it and them.
Start with their questions and their pain points – not your passion or your process. If you’re not sure what those questions are, talk to your clients. What are they struggling with? What do they keep asking? What are they getting wrong?
That’s your content plan. Right there.
Build a repeatable content engine
The key to marketing that works is rhythm, not volume.
You don’t need to be on five platforms or post every day. You need one expert-led format you can commit to: a monthly blog, a fortnightly LinkedIn post, or a quarterly opinion piece. Then repurpose it. Break it into smaller posts. Quote it in proposals. Link to it in emails. Turn it into a guide.
The point isn’t more content, but repeatable, useful content that builds trust over time. That’s what turns knowledge into value, and value into action.

Marketing works when it feels like you
If your content could belong to any of your competitors, it’s not doing the job.
Marketing that sells doesn’t sound like a brand, it sounds like you – your tone, your stories, your shortcuts. Drop the “we’re passionate about…” lines and say what you actually do, in plain English. People buy from brands they trust, and trust comes from familiarity. If your audience sees the same clear, helpful voice showing up regularly, they’ll remember it and believe it.
