    Bonus: How a Non-Viral Threads Account Landed $6K in Sponsors

    You don’t need a viral audience to monetize social media. Jess Freeman is proof. With a small, non-viral audience on Threads, she secured $6,000 in summit sponsorships in just two months — without a hard sell, course, or product launch. The founder of Jess Creatives and The Ordinary Business, Jess has spent 14 years building a service-based business, but recently found incredible success when the idea for a summit dedicated to ‘ordinary’ business owners fell into her lap. In this episode, she breaks down how she monetized her small but mighty Threads platform, her approach to locking in four figures in event sponsorships, and how she leveraged ordinary relatability to create extraordinary demand.
