The trouble with showing your face is the inherent prejudices that members of your potential audience might have. Some of it will be unwitting but it’s there. Bias toward women, bias toward men, bias toward young, attractive people (pretty young women frequently get more followers and more easily than men), bias against age, racial bias that may not extend to racism but may simply be an assumption about the entrepreneur that impacts perceptions of what’s on offer. I think of faceless channels as the business version of The Voice. You approve/consume/buy on merit with no preconceptions based on appearance. Trust is built via the product not the face that fronts it. Thoughts?

Hey Maria , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

I really wish you wouldn't use thumbnails that say "400k a month with proof." That really wasn't covered in the video, it's just slimy clickbait and it's really not necessary. Good content either way.

mam can i ask for help financial support 3,000 usd

You’re amazing and so appreciated!

What If i have no skills i could capitalize on?

Lack of focus and shiny object syndrome ✨💯👏 that’s real!

How Do you put a line between your name and Business Coach

So helpful!!!

Hello i have a question where on Instagram do i click the option of getting paid by IG for a faceless account ? I don’t see a option on ig

Great vid and advice! Can you create a vid (if you haven't done so already :)) that breaks down the income sources on your $400k per mo? It sounds like teaching is the ultimate top of the pyramid goal versus making and marketing a digital product...?

Maria that's an mind blowing video thank you 👍👍 People from different countries do different things, (something like that), I mean does this method work well to get 1-2 clients (with each $3-6k retainer) only in usa or in europe too ? Have a pieceful happy day !

Hey @MariaWendt I have the Passive Income Course- when will this tool be available for us to use inside the course? Keen to get my hands on it!!

Thank you for your transparency. It is uber refreshing. How many courses are you selling at any one time? What platform do you use to house your course(s).

Great video. And debt settlement is different from bankruptcy and also different from consolidation. It destroys your credit and it can be risky. Not my favorite strategy, but it can be helpful in some situations.

Here’s an example of a person selling courses about teaching people how to make courses 😂 and making money out of it. Wake up people.

I love your honesty. It’s refreshing. Thank you. I believe

Thanks for this video. I'm in the passive income, and saving up money to be able to get into your coaching group. I've had a lot of success with Kickstarter as an artist. I would like to do something like " crowdfunding for creatives: create an art based Kickstarter campaign in a weekend" Do you think that would meet your criteria? I'm an expert, it's specific, and it gives a goal in a fairly short period of time. I know it's doable, because I implemented a Kickstarter in 6 hours once.

Hi there, I recently opened a new account as a digital creator, and within three days, I gained 68 followers. However, I've noticed that growth is slowing down, and I realized I'm not eligible for branded content, which limits my ability to monetize. I also have an old business account from 2019 that I never used, posted on, or gained followers with. Should I switch to using this old account or consider opening a new one instead? Thanks x

During the Gold Rush, the people who made the most were the ones selling shovels, not the ones digging gold. Courses are today’s shovels. If she is selling $400k worth of courses a month, I need to see proof of the people she sold courses to combined making twice or 3x that a month.

I love the idea and as a mama with a toddler this is great, but as a VA and SMM with multiple clients, how do you find time for your own growth.

You’re a beautiful woman and person inside and out Maria 🙏

I think the secret is marketing. Gotta have an audience.

180 days just to make content before even attempting making a sale?? Way tooo long start up.

Nice, This is really refreshing This is a cute face for a newer Generation. Female version of Tony Robbins 30 yrs later,, Congrates (His books are out of print now)

Totally agree with you. SO MANY so-called "gurus" and even some of the more honest online money-making pushers, make it sound SO SIMPLE to make money online. If this was/is true.... then why are SO MANY people NOT making money online? I know most/many humans are on the lazy side nowadays (me 100% included and GUILTY on this point), but I sure wish more people were able to actually find something that was easy to make money online (using Ai) and help them to break free from financial struggles. So THANK YOU for making this video and I pray that We the little guy and gal out here, are able to make money online and get set FREE financially! We GOT THIS!!

I didn’t know you were homeschooled! So cool! Are you going to homeschool your kiddo?

Lol…balls to the wall go all in…😂

I love this. I've been seeing a lot posts about manifesting, and I think it's a sign for me to take it seriously.

I make 100K a year but I’m sooop ready to quit because my job is so stressful!!

Thank you, Maria. This is so helpful! I wish I had this advice 1.5 years ago!

Getting clients for web site projects is something I am also trying to do. Do you have videos on how to get web clients?

Your voice could be in a podcast and we’ll love it 😅

I’m a fiction writer with a background in social media marketing and you just made my head spin 😅

What advice would you give to someone who feels stuck in their business journey?

Hi Maria, is it nice if I promote other people's digital products as an affiliate using your passive income with IG course?

Remember to take the pressure off of yourself! Money loves it when you are relaxed and calm, not frenzied and panicked. If you want me to show you how to create a viral digital product that sells itself, this should be helpful: mariawendt.com/viral-product-course/?el=v082624&htrafficsource=yt

ASAP

Maria, How does this work as most groups don't allow unsolicited contact by DM?

Wow… I just found you… and I need this!!! I’m 64 years old and I’ve been wanting to make money online for the last 5 years, but I’ve been afraid to start. Thank you for addressing this VERY REAL issue! 🙌🏼💃🙏🏼
