Followed: The Content Creator's Guide to Being Seen, Facing Judgment, and Building an Authentic Personal Brand
Here’s the go-to book for content creators to navigate what it truly means to have a platform: putting yourself out there, letting go of what others think, and claiming the power your authentic self has to offer the world.

Since the boom of social media in the mid-2000s, tens of millions of people have started their own platforms in hopes of creating success on their own terms. But with great visibility comes great vulnerability. We become riddled with self-doubt and trapped performing a version of what they believe will be acceptable to others—optimized for more external approval and algorithmic success.

What if the mere act of being followed—including the criticism, judgment, and expectation social media creates—could actually become a tool for your personal growth?

Enter Followed: The Content Creator's Guide to Being Seen, Facing Judgment, and Building an Authentic Personal Brand. By embracing self-discovery through self-expression, you can learn to see exposure as an opportunity for personal development—and break free from the imaginary boxes that were always too small for you, anyway.

As a content creator and well-known business and life coach, Amanda Bucci has dealt with imposter syndrome, oceans of criticism, and multiple identity crises trying to fit into a box. Today, she’s successfully pivoted her brand to stay aligned with her purpose, having coached hundreds of clients, dozens of companies, and thousands of community members in their journeys of creating success while staying authentic.

In Followed, she shares her unique, effective process to:

  • Find your unique niche without feeling imprisoned by your online persona
  • Overcome your fear of judgment, imperfection, and rejection
  • Use exposure as a chance to explore and grow
  • Decrease your social media related stress and anxiety
  • Stop comparing yourself to others and define success on your own terms


Empowering, perspective-shattering, and validating, Followed proves that even on social media, it is never necessary to sacrifice self for success.
