Where to Use Stories

(It’s not just your social posts...)

In partnership with

So let me guess…friend

You think storytelling is just for the ‘fun part’ of your content.

The little personal moment in your Reels.
A quirky line in your About page.
Or maybe a “once upon a time” email opener.

But here’s the issue:

That’s exactly why your message ain’t sticking friend.

Because storytelling isn’t just the warm-up act.

It is the performance.

It’s what gives your audience a reason to listen, care, and trust.
And if you’re only using it when it feels “safe”—you’re leaving impact (and income) on the table.

Let me make it dead simple:

Most people?
They drop a quick story to sound relatable.

Smart marketers?

They build their whole strategy around it.

So friend, here’s where real entrepreneurs are using stories right now:

• Marketing campaigns → to make people feel
• Sales pages → to drop resistance
• Social posts → to stay sticky
• Internal comms → to rally the team
• Product design → to speak the customer’s language

You don’t need better ideas.
You need better delivery.
And story is the delivery system.

If you want the storytelling system I use (and teach) to help clients show up real and still drive results

Normally $27. Right now?
Just $7. (Yep. Seven.)

P.S. Tomorrow I’m breaking down another classic question:
“Do I have to get vulnerable to tell a good story?”
(Hint: nope. But you do have to get real.)
