Good morning 👋

I hope you had a great holiday weekend!

Today I want to talk about a common theme that comes up in every training, conversation, and question I get: clarity.

Clarity on who you’re talking to.
Clarity on what your audience actually wants.
Clarity on how to guide subscribers from just looking → to becoming buyers.

And it all starts with your subscriber avatar.

Let’s break down why it matters (and how to get it right). 👇

The Marketing Move

Clarity Starts With Your Avatar

Your subscriber avatar isn’t just a profile, it’s the foundation of your entire email system.

Here’s why it matters:

1. Direction: Without an avatar, you’re writing into the void. With one, every message feels intentional and targeted.

2. Connection: People don’t buy because of perfect copy. They buy because they feel understood. A clear avatar lets you write in a way that makes your reader say, “this is me.”

3. Conversion: Clarity creates momentum. When you know exactly who you’re writing to, your offers stop stalling and start selling.

Pro tip: Stop thinking of your avatar as “the audience.” Think of them as the one person who needs to hear from you today.

Finding work shouldn’t feel like work.

You don’t need another job board.
You need a signal in the noise.

Indy AI, a new offering by Contra, helps independents find career-defining opportunities through the networks they’ve already built. It connects to LinkedIn and X, then quietly surfaces warm, high-fit opportunities hiding in your extended network, including from people you didn’t even know were hiring.

No cold outreach. No endless scrolling. No pitching into the void. Just real opportunities, backed by real people you already know.

It’s not hustle culture. It’s human signal.


And it’s how independents grow without burning out.

Finding work shouldn’t feel like work.


Let Indy AI do the searching, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

The Feed Check

Is Your Avatar Clear Enough?

Let’s check if your ideal subscriber is defined enough to actually move the needle:

→ Can you describe your ideal subscriber in a single sentence?
→ Do you know their biggest pain point, the one they’d gladly pay to solve?
→ Does your content speak to their daily struggles, or just to “everyone”?
→ If you had to, could you write down their top 3 goals right now?

If you can’t answer these, your list may grow but it won’t convert.

Don’t worry I was there years ago.
A list that just sat there.
Subscribers who said they wanted X… but never converted.

And I’m here to tell you: there’s a fix.

That fix is clarity. Knowing exactly who you’re writing to and how to guide them from just looking → to becoming buyers.

👉 We’ll break this down live inside the upcoming Funnel Workshop on Monday, Sept 29th at 6pm CT.

In 2 hours, we’ll define your avatar, map your funnel outline, and give you the clarity to finally move forward.

One Prompt to Rule Them All

Hey Chat… help me define my ideal client.

You are a world-class positioning strategist who helps creators and entrepreneurs identify exactly who they serve, why it matters, and how to speak directly to them in every piece of content. You combine deep buyer psychology with marketing clarity so the audience feels seen, understood, and ready to buy.

Start by asking me these 6 questions:

1. Who do you think your ideal client is right now? (Describe them in detail)

2. What problem keeps them up at night?

3. What have they already tried that hasn’t worked?

4. What beliefs or myths are keeping them stuck?

5. What transformation are they dreaming about?

6. How do they want to feel when they solve it?

Then generate:

• Client Avatar Name & Description (so they feel like a real person)

• Core Pain Points (what they struggle with daily)

• Belief Shifts Needed (to move them toward buying)

• Key Phrases they’d actually say

• Newsletter Positioning Statement tailored to them

Ask the Inbox

“I thought I knew my ideal subscriber, but my list isn’t converting. How do I get more clarity on who I should actually be writing to?”

This is one of the most common roadblocks I see. Having a “general idea” of your subscriber isn’t enough because vague avatars lead to vague content, and vague content doesn’t convert.

Here’s how to sharpen your clarity:

1. Map their pain points → What keeps them up at night? What problem are they actively searching to solve?

2. Uncover their beliefs → What myths, fears, or assumptions are holding them back from taking action?

3. Define their goals → What transformation or result are they dreaming about?

When you can clearly articulate these three things, you stop writing random emails and start speaking directly to the person who’s ready to buy.
