After getting laid off, she went all-in on content creation\u2014using <a href=\"https:\/\/getstanley.ai\/?ref=stephfi___&amp;utm_source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stanley<\/a> to speed up her workflow and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stan.store\/?ref=stephfi___&amp;utm_source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stan Store<\/a> as the hub for her business. In one year, she&#8217;s grown to 165K followers, made $60K in her first week of launching her course, and has already replaced her engineering salary.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stephfi___\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steph Fisher<\/a> is an engineer and mom of four who traded evening doomscrolling for content creation a year ago. Inspired by the success of Creators she looked up to, she vowed to post on Instagram 6 days a week for an entire year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, one year later, she\u2019s grown from zero to over 165,000 followers and is teaching aspiring Creators how to do the same. Here\u2019s how she did it and used Stan to turn her growing audience into a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trading Doomscrolling for Content Creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last April, instead of scrolling Instagram, Steph began documenting her morning routine\u2014the quiet hours she carved out to fill her own cup before the daily chaos of raising four kids kicked in. She regularly shared these raw, relatable moments, and people instantly connected with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div style=\"height:100px;width:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-6388d5dc\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPgiy2BDVGx\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
