Episode Description
What happens when you commit to showing up on Instagram for 30 days straight...and accidentally gain 140K+ followers in the process? In this episode of The Creative Bodega, I'm sitting down with Amanda Jefferson, a Coven member who went from 5,000 to over 150,000 followers (and counting!) using a simple jar of tech tips and a whole lot of authenticity. We're breaking down exactly what worked, what broke (literally—her checkout page couldn't handle the traffic), and how she turned viral momentum into $32K in revenue in just one month. If you've been overthinking your content or feeling frozen about showing up on video, this conversation is your permission slip to just start.

Things I cover inside this episode:
- How Amanda created a 30-day content series using a simple jar system—and why "being weird" is actually your competitive advantage
- The exact tech setup she used to batch content efficiently (spoiler: it's simpler than you think)
- What to do when your systems break during a viral moment—including the genius "duplicate your checkout page" hack
- Why showing up imperfectly on video actually performs better than polished, scripted content
- How to turn viral growth into sustainable revenue with the right foundation (low-ticket offers, email list, and clear frameworks)
