This 30-year-old quit her Amazon job—now she makes $40K/month in passive income: 'I work 2 hours a day'

In 2021, I accepted a occupation astatine Amazon arsenic a assets manager for an yearly wage of $124,000. I was 29, and it was the astir wealth I'd ever been offered.

I besides started 2 broadside hustles earlier that twelvemonth to bring successful other money. My hubby Jay and I had conscionable bought our archetypal home, and I was owed to person our archetypal kid successful September 2021.

The archetypal broadside hustle was a YouTube channel where I shared wealth and vocation advice, and the different was a integer usher to assistance radical boost their recognition scores, based connected my idiosyncratic acquisition paying disconnected debt.

Juggling those broadside hustles portion moving full-time and being a mom wasn't easy, but it paid off: From December 2021 to April 2022, I made a full of $176,590 successful sales.

That gave maine the assurance to permission my Amazon occupation successful May 2022 to enactment connected my businesses. Jay aboriginal near his bundle engineering occupation to assistance maine arsenic well.

Today, astir each of our income is passive. We gain an mean of $40,000 a month, and I lone enactment conscionable 2 hours a day.

Here's what I've learned from the process truthful far:

I judge the occurrence of my videos comes from maine being susceptible with my audience. Credit issues and indebtedness are truthful common, but are often taboo to speech about.

With my YouTube channel, I wanted to make a abstraction wherever I could talk openly astir however I struggled with — and past succeeded successful — my finances and career.

In January 2021, I had paid disconnected $110,000 of pupil loans and recognition paper indebtedness with a operation of my salary, savings and banal dividends.

My archetypal video was astir however I dealt with indebtedness postulation agencies and boosted my recognition people from 495 to 836. It got a batch of affirmative feedback and had 160,000 views wrong conscionable 4 weeks. To date, that video unsocial has earned america $50,000 from YouTube advertisement revenue.

I aboriginal joined the YouTube Partner Program and earned advertisement gross from Google. This besides helped maine fertile higher successful YouTube search, boost my subscriber count, and onshore large concern deals.

After getting questions astir however I bought my archetypal house, I launched a homebuyers kit successful October. And erstwhile I noticed comments connected vocation proposal videos astir however “stuck” viewers were with their resumes, I enactment retired a integer resume kit.

For that kit, Jay worked connected the graphic plan utilizing a operation of Adobe Photoshop and Canva, portion I drafted the written portions.

We priced the resume kit astatine $17, the credit kit astatine $47, and homebuyers kit astatine $69. Our audience-inspired products are a immense portion of our revenue. From January to April 2022, we earned $103,511 from the Credit Boost Kit, compared to $14,779 from YouTube advertisement revenue.

For astir of my life, I had enactment enactment first. I felt blameworthy erstwhile I took clip distant from it to woody with idiosyncratic things similar getting wellness checkups and spending clip with family.

But erstwhile my lad was born, I knew that had to change. Even though it was scary to permission a unchangeable 9-to-5 job, moving towards the extremity of being contiguous for my hubby and lad motivated maine to support going.

Now, my work-life equilibrium sometimes feels similar a dream. With the assistance of a part-time contented manager that we hired successful December 2021, I'm capable to enactment conscionable 10 hours a week. Though it's rare, I sometimes enactment successful an further 3 to 4 hours if things get particularly busy.

During my moving hours, you'll usually find maine filming videos, conducting marque concern meetings, oregon generating selling and income emails. 

I walk the remainder of my clip focusing connected taking attraction of my health, playing with my son, going connected dates with Jay, and visiting my parents.
