Today, I have got somebody who makes $2,500 every time she posts an Instagram real. And she's

0:06.2

going to teach us how anyone can monetize their Instagram following, even if you have just 100

0:11.4

followers. I've got Maria Went. What's up? Hey, thanks so much for having me. Yeah, so we got to meet

0:18.8

at this Samkhart event, actually, with Ryan Moran. And, you know, that event actually helped me do a lot of different things. And I talked to Brian about it. And I've had him on the show. And so now it's great to have you on because I've seen you really blowing up recently on Instagram, getting more and more followers, the post are engaging. And then when we talked a little

0:38.2

bit, I was like, wow, you guys are just not even really selling coaching. You're just selling low-ticket products. And, you know, I see all the reels talking about, you know, what you guys are doing and growing. So I'm like, I want to know. Yeah. Well, it's real, I was telling you a little earlier, it's been so great for me as a mom because I get to be so present to my baby and still

0:38.3

hit all the financial goals, all the business goals I want to be hitting because it really is so hands off. So I'm a big fan of the low ticket stuff.

1:02.3

Yeah. So let's give people just a quick rundown of who you are and what you do. Yeah. So basically I sell courses on how to grow on social media, how to monetize your

1:13.2

social media, basically hitting different financial goals through very low ticket courses. And I

1:18.4

took the road less traveled when I decided three years ago that I'm not going to do any high

1:23.6

ticket because I had been doing like $72,000 coaching packages and those are fun to sell, but then you have the delivery side and I was getting very burnt out and I knew I was having a baby soon and I was like, I have to find a way to get this more hands off. And so three years ago, I made a really important decision to stop all high ticket coaching and just go all in on the low ticket. And I had a gut feeling that I could monetize it and make it profitable when a lot of people were telling me that's not possible. I would have literally said that it's impossible until talking to you because... But we have 60% profit margins. That's the thing. It's not just okay profit margins. It's crazy. It's too much profit margins. Yeah. See, that's crazy because most people use a lowicket offer as just a way to self-liquidate

2:02.0

some ads.

2:02.9

And your guys are just selling low-ticket.

2:05.9

And that's the thing.

2:07.7

And I think what people get wrong is they think I'm going to do a low ticket and then get

2:13.8

them to ascend into a high ticket.

2:15.9

That is not, in my opinion, very effective because the person who spends $24 is not the same person who spends $24,000. And so they wonder why their ascension rates are so low. It's because they're two different demographics. Yeah, I mean, I'm a guy who would spend $24,000. Exactly. I don't buy $20 things. Exactly. And you would never buy $24. You're very unlikely to buy $24 course and then ascend into a high ticket mastermind. And yet that's a lot of people's business models in our space. Yeah. You know, it's funny. Last year I tried a $97 community. And I thought the ascension from it would be good. It's not. I bet it was like 5% or less. Yeah, it was terrible. Yeah, that's pretty typical. And so what we've done is realized there is such an underserved part of our market as, you know, people in the coaching space where no one's talking to the people who are just getting started. No one's selling to the people who are just getting started. They're waiting until they're at least $10,000 a month, and then they'll sell them a high ticket thing. But if you think about it like a triangle, the people at the bottom base, they're the biggest group of people. They're in those nine to five jobs that they hate. They have no idea which way is up. They're very overwhelmed and they don't

3:24.5

have the budget for the high ticket investment, but they have such a yearning and such a longing to be supported. And that's where I came in. And my heart's there. I love the beginners. I love the new people. And it's been a really, really fun time for me. Yeah. So how are you making $2,500 a real? Like, where does the math come into play?

3:21.7

Like, what do you do?

3:22.6

I can tell you exactly how that works.

3:24.1

So I published So how are you making $2,500 a reel? Like, where does the math come into play? Like,

3:41.7

what do you do you do? I can tell you exactly how that works. So I publish a reel and either in the caption or the reel itself, there'll be like call to action to comment, right? Everyone knows it. It's the many chat comments. And then so it'll be like comment the word keyword, right? Or comment the word guide to get my guide. They comment,

3:38.5

we all know that, right? That's most of us.
