Three months postpartum and raising her daughter on her own, she stripped everything back to one problem, one market, one offer and one platform. Today her business has done over $22 million in sales, served almost 200,000 customers and built an email list of more than 1 million, run by a team of three. She works Tuesdays and Fridays. In this episode we break down the funnel behind it: an Instagram Reel, a comment keyword, a Manychat DM and a checkout page. Maria shares: The rule of five ones, and why one offer on one platform beat everything she tried before it The "pricing dead zone" between $197 and $997, and why $27 to $57 products got her to $1M months The six month experiment that made her drop the email nurture funnel and send buyers straight to checkout This episode is sponsored by Granola: the AI notepad that writes your meeting notes and knows who said what. 1 month free: https://anatomyofadream.com/getgranola Manychat: turn comments and story replies into followers, subscribers and sales on autopilot.
