Why does the business world love three-letter acronyms so much? No clue.

But I’ve definitely nodded along in meetings like I knew exactly what they meant more times than I care to admit.

One of those acronyms you do need to know as a freelancer?

USP.

That’s your Unique. Selling. Proposition.

In plain English:

It makes you the obvious choice over every other freelancer out there.

Your USP tells potential clients why they should hire you—and why they should do it now.

It’s often a short, punchy statement that highlights your strengths, experience, and the value you bring.

The short version on my home page?

It tells prospects what they’ll get when they hire me.

Freelance Content That Propels Business Growth

Get content and copy that engages audiences, drives conversions, and accelerates results.

Then I tell the reader what I want them to do: “Get in touch with Diana.”

That copy is followed by logos of recognizable brands I’ve worked with and the services I offer.

Does your website do the same?

If not, it’s time to tweak the copy.

No site?

Update your LinkedIn bio to ensure it’s about what you offer clients and not simply about you.

If you’d like to go over how to create your USP, a website review, or a LinkedIn edit, get in touch by replying here or booking a coaching call with me.

Thanks for being a reader.
