In late 2022, I invested over $15,000 building what I thought would be THE perfect online course. I did everything I was supposed to, from the branding, the messaging, to the launch. And then I got three sales. THREE! Yes, it barely made me $1,000 back.
I had to pull apart everything I did to understand what went wrong. And what I found changed the trajectory of my entire business.
But here's my villain origin story...
The personal brand sales strategist that gets founders clients with their instagrams
What was missing was the system underneath my personal brand. I was missing an offer aligned not just with what I was good at, but also with the problems my community needed help solving.
I was missing the funnel that captured interest to my offer, and I had no automations that followed up with my prospects. Granted, it was 2022, so all automations were on the rise BUT STILL. My Instagram and my personal brand were generating attention, but it wasn't generating revenue.
That experience didn't just create my personal branding consultant career. It also set the foundation of what The Sell Well Agency is now.
The Sell Well is now a done-for-you personal brand sales agency that builds the offer, content, funnel, and automation that turns Instagram into consistent revenue. I've worked with over 300 clients across coaching, consulting, community building, creative services, marketing agencies, and digital products.
I've been named to BC Business Magazine's 30 under 30, a Top Personal Branding Coach by Life Coach Magazine, and featured in Yahoo! Finance, Under30CEO, She & Success Magazine, Curious Creator, and MSN. I am also a speaker, a panelist and an active podcast guest, and I've had the privilge to speak at Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria, Alex Cattini's Backstage Mastermind, YVR Creatives and YWCA.

How it all began
tara osipoff, ceo of velara developments and podcast host, you belong here
Working with Daria has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my personal brand. She came highly recommended, and from the moment we connected, I knew I was in expert hands. As a former agency owner, I have high standards when it comes to marketing and branding, and Daria exceeded them.
She supported everything from content strategy and email marketing to funnel building and audience targeting. She gave me tools and tactics, but also helped me develop a mindset that allowed me to show up with more authenticity and purpose. Daria was also instrumental in capturing my TEDx experience, creating content that not only reflected the energy of the event but deeply resonated with my audience.
What makes Daria truly special is not just her brilliance and skill. It’s her heart. She genuinely cares about her clients, their success, and their growth. She’s as strategic as she is sincere, and working with her feels like having a true partner in your corner. I can’t recommend her enough
