About Denise

Denise Wakeman has been self-employed since 1996, helping solo business owners and entrepreneurs establish a strong and sustainable online presence. As a digital marketing strategist and long-time content creator, she focuses on making visibility feel doable, not overwhelming. She shows people how to create simple, effective systems that attract more clients over time.

She’s the publisher of Your Visibility Edge, a weekly packed with smart, practical strategies for getting found online. She writes for business owners who are doing it all themselves. These are people who want to show up consistently without burning out or blending in.

Denise is also the co-founder of the AI Success Club, where she and her partner Andy O’Bryan teach solo professionals how to use AI tools to create marketing that still sounds like you. Their work helps business owners save time, stay inspired, and communicate more clearly with less stress.

What drives Denise is curiosity. She’s always exploring what’s changing, what’s working, and what’s worth trying next. Over the years, she’s tested countless tools, platforms, and strategies, always with one question in mind. Will this help solo biz owners connect more easily with the folks they’re meant to serve?

Her approach is grounded in experience and shaped by experimentation. She’s known for making digital marketing feel less like a puzzle and more like a path. One you can actually follow. Whether it’s showing someone how to improve their newsletter, optimize a lead magnet, or repurpose content using AI, her goal is to make marketing feel more human and more manageable.

At the core of her work is a belief that solo business owners deserve marketing support that’s both strategic and sustainable. That way, they can grow a business they’re proud of without losing their voice along the way.

It can be a little lonely and frustrating trying to figure out how to market your business or product on your own. Most of the time, you get it done, but sometimes, you need some input to help get you through a difficult patch when you're not quite sure what to do or which path to take.

Testimonials

I had an hour consultation with Denise Wakeman in which she helped me get to the PERFECT name and motto for my upcoming video course series. It landed like a miracle when she said it:) I have booked consults with her before and am always amazed at the things she thinks of that I hadn't. She also helped me structure my introduction video so well that it gives me a template for revising all the scripts to come. I. Am. Thrilled.

Spending an hour coaching with you was exactly what I needed right now. Living in the chaos of Hurricane Helene and how it’s devastated my beloved town of Asheville, North Carolina has been so overwhelming and anxiety producing over the past month. I’ve had extreme brain fog and it’s been almost impossible to string two coherent thoughts together. I’ve been able to show up and serve my coaching clients in the present moment, but any bigger picture planning and strategizing has not been mentally possible.

However, now with your pointed suggestions and practical guidance, I can start to think about work again and how I can create offers and support those impacted by this life changing event. Thank you for always being a wealth of knowledge, a voice of reason and a professional with deep compassion and empathy!

As a result of joining the Lab, I found a very safe environment to explore where I wanted to go in my business. I could troubleshoot almost any issue with Denise and she had an answer right there for me. 

Working with Denise gave me the courage to step up my marketing game because I felt fully supported in everything I wanted to do in my online business. One of the brightest points was when we created a plan together to launch my book, which became a bestseller,  that was easy to implement and specifically tailored to my needs. She made a really scary thing fun. I am forever grateful!
