…the truth is:

The more followers you have, the more powerful you are. 

I’m not afraid to say “the quiet part” out loud because I want YOU to be aware of this. 

SOMEONE needs to talk about this and I’m happy to do it.

If you have a lot of followers, you have power. 

Literal power. 

The power to get stuff for free. 

The power that opens important doors. 

The power of being connected to the right people. 

The power to make money on demand. 

I think we’re really uncomfortable with the word “power” but I’m being honest with you.

And here’s what’s really wild:

It’s never been easier for ANYONE to grab power.

We are living in a time when ANYONE can go viral.

Anyone can build an audience, for free.

22 months ago, I decided to start posting consistently on Instagram. 

Almost 400,000 followers later…

People are starting to recognize me when I’m out and about. 

I’m getting invited into better and better rooms.

I make hundreds of thousands of dollars per month from the digital products I sell on IG. 

Trust me: you will NEVER regret working to grow your Instagram account. ✨

Step 1: brainstorm things your friends come to you for advice for. What do you help them with?

If you do it for free, you can definitely get paid for it.

Step 2: decide a hyper-specific problem you want to solve. For example: if your friends come to you for party-planning advice (and most of the parties you plan are for kids), your hyper-specific problem should be “How To Plan Kids Parties On A Budget”. Hyper-specific. 

Step 3: pick the kind of digital product you’ll create around that hyper-specific problem. A video course OR a PDF/spreadsheet bundle is a good place to start.

Step 4: create your digital product. It should take 2-4 hours max. Don’t overthink it. 

Step 5: build a very simple checkout page so people can pay you. (I use Samcart and highly recommend!) 

Step 6: get about 50-100 views per day. (I have tons of free content here to show you how!)

If you want the sales most people never have, you have to be willing to do things most people would never do:

Stage 1: decide what your business topic will be about 

At its simplest form, what are you good at? What can you teach people to do better? 

Do NOT fake it till you make it here. Really choose something you’re an expert in.

BUT…

….at the same time, it can be literally anything. One of my most successful students teaches people how to organize refrigerators so you don’t waste food. Another student teaches long-term partners how to reignite the spice. 🌶️

Stage 2: Model your Instagram bio after mine. (more on this stage later.) 👉🏼

Stage 3: Create your digital product you’ll be selling. 

Film 10-20 short videos diving into your topic of choice. 

Really aim to solve a very specific problem with your course. Don’t be vague. 

Ex: “how to grow on social media” will not sell.

BUT

“How To Get 10,000 Instagram Followers in 9 Months” will.

OR 

“How to bake” is too vague but “How Make Your Favorite Dishes Become Gluten Free” would do so much better. 

Stage 4: Set up your checkout page & put the link in your bio

Keep your checkout page very simple. Make sure to be hyper specific on what they get but have NO long paragraphs of text on your page. 

Install the software “UseProof” to help with conversions. 

Stage 5: make reels on your business topic.

Reels = free traffic. 

When people see your reel, a certain small percentage go back to your profile and click your link in bio.

And because you’ve linked directly to your digital product’s checkout page, BOOM! 

You make a sale while you were sleeping, or eating or bingeing Netflix. It’s glorious.

Above all else, if you want to grow your Instagram account or your business, be sure to follow me! Everyone says I give away all the secrets for free and it’s true. 😘

Never a dull moment over here at Team Maria. 🙈🐰 If you look closely, on the first clip of me, you’ll see a little bit of pink fabric. That’s Ellie’s shirt and we were just cuddling together when Kelly texted me this. Forever grateful to everyone who helps me focus on the two things I do best: 1: be the best mama to sweet Ellie 2: scale my business from $10M to $100M. Grateful for everyone but esp @kellykellywebb

1: go to a grocery store. My assistant shops for me and we have a whole system where she notices what’s low, introduces new whole foods for me to try and basically removes my need to think about anything grocery-related.

2: pump my gas. This saves me time and I can always count on my tank being filled, which is one less thing I need to mentally keep track of.

3: style my own hair. I have a stylist that comes 3x a week to style my hair after I wash it. Not only does it look better than anything I could do but it also allows me to work while my hair is being done (I’m literally typing this as she blow dries my hair right now) 

4: schedule my own appointments.

5: wake up to an alarm: but that’s just cuz I have a 3 year old hehe, nothing clever happening there. 

I’m sharing this because I get a lot of questions on how I “do it all” and I just need you to know that I don’t. 

Right now, I only do 2 things: 

1: Be the best mama possible to my daughter (but even then, I have some childcare that not everyone has. Not a lot because I don’t want a lot, but some!) 

2: I’m actively working on scaling my company to $20M per year (last year we did $8M top line.) 

That’s it.

Everything else needs to get done by someone else. 

In the beginning, it was all me, for years. I didn’t hire my first employee until 2019 and I started my business in 2013. So I do get it. 

You can start leveraging your time in really really small baby steps.

I started by cancelling $125 in monthly subscriptions and that’s what I paid my first team member. I think it was maybe 2 hours per week, so not a lot at all. 

But I very intentionally used those new 2 hours a week to do money-generating tasks. And I just kept doing that over and over again until here we are. 

If you’re still in the trenches, please take a moment to love on yourself. 

You’re in the “pinch point” stage where it’s literally impossible to get it all done. I validate that. 

My advice? Try to find one tiny repetitive task you do every day or every week you can either stop doing or give to someone else. 

Just one small task. Even the tiniest shifts compound over time. 😘

Newly single and stuck on Zoom calls for 6-8 hours every single day. 

Poor sweet Ellie was dropped off at a daycare so I could work. 😭 

Once my last Zoom call was done, I’d rush across town to get her, just so happy to have her back in my arms. 

I knew I had to make a change and I wanted it really badly. 

I launched my first low-ticket digital product and NEVER looked back.

I was at an event recently and happened to sit next to an older gentleman.

He was…chatty. 

Before the event started, I was politely shrugging off a stream of well-meaning but eyebrow-raising comments from him. 

Finally, he was talking about a local club and he said: 

“…that’s a good place to meet a rich man.”

And without even thinking I just blurted out, “I’m a rich WOMAN.” 

I can’t even believe I said that but it just came out. 

And it’s not a knock on his comment, lots of girls here in Orange County want to marry rich men. 

It’s the culture here. 

I just think I’ve seen that Cher quote too many times. 

That it’s cemented into my brain. 

Also, sidenote, I don’t even think I’m really rich, to be honest. 

But I definitely am living a life of abundance. 

I’m very grateful for my financial situation.

A few months ago, I officially became a liquid millionaire. 

It’s crazy because when I started 11 years ago, I made $63 in my first YEAR. 

Now, I make $63 every 6 minutes. 

It certainly didn’t happen overnight but it HAPPENED. 

And I’m so grateful I took that first step a long time ago.

I can’t help but feel like someone reading this needs to hear a word of encouragement. 

Maybe you’re hanging on by a thread…

Somehow this found you today. 

Please take this as your sign to not quit.

So please take that deep, comforting breath.

Let me share a mantra that I’ve repeated daily to myself for 11 years: 

“You are exactly where you are meant to be. What happens tomorrow is up to you.”

I hope this little note of encouragement was helpful; was it meant to find you? ✨

📍But first, if you ever want proof I make as much as I say I do, go to www.mariawendt.com/proof for my full financial disclosures. 

Here’s how I would start a passive income business completely from scratch:

Stage 1: decide what your business topic will be about 

At its simplest form, what are you good at? What can you teach people to do better? 

Do NOT fake it till you make it here. Really choose something you’re an expert in.

BUT…

….at the same time, it can be literally anything. One of my most successful students teaches people how to organize refrigerators so you don’t waste food. Another student teaches long-term partners how to reignite the spice. 🌶️

Stage 2: Model your Instagram bio after mine. (more on this stage later.) 👉🏼

Stage 3: Create your digital product you’ll be selling. 

Film 10-20 short videos diving into your topic of choice. 

Really aim to solve a very specific problem with your course. Don’t be vague. 

Ex: “how to grow on social media” will not sell.

BUT

“How To Get 10,000 Instagram Followers in 9 Months” will.

OR 

“How to bake” is too vague but “How Make Your Favorite Dishes Become Gluten Free” would do so much better. 

Stage 4: Set up your checkout page & put the link in your bio

Keep your checkout page very simple. Make sure to be hyper specific on what they get but have NO long paragraphs of text on your page. 

Install the software “UseProof” to help with conversions. 

Stage 5: make reels on your business topic.

Reels = free traffic. 

When people see your reel, a certain small percentage go back to your profile and click your link in bio.

And because you’ve linked directly to your digital product’s checkout page, BOOM! 

You make a sale while you were sleeping, or eating or bingeing Netflix. It’s glorious.

Above all else, if you want to grow your Instagram account or your business, be sure to follow me! Everyone says I give away all the secrets for free and it’s true. 😘
