I was like, what could I do on the side from home that could just bring in like an extra couple hundred dollars a month?

Meet Sariah. What makes Sariah special? Well, her and her 24-year-old husband were broke. She was pregnant. Her husband was stocking shelves and training to become an electrician. And she said, enough, we are not making enough money. We're broke and I never see my husband. I want to start a business. So, with under $1,000, she started a business that was doing over $100,000 a month. Within six months, this is a new industry, an incredible story, something that anyone could start. Definitely a banger. Please enjoy.

I was in school for cosmetology and I was actually a manager at an apartment complex. And my husband had a pretty good job on base and we both decided we wanted to take a turn and go different directions in our careers.

My husband started an electrical program which, when you start in the electrical industry, you start really low. So I think he was at $14 an hour starting out and I was pregnant with my daughter. At about 23 weeks, we were in a pretty serious car accident and I had to stop working and my husband had a $14 an hour job. And so my husband actually picked up a second job working nights and he was gone. We never saw him.

When my daughter was born, he had a few days off, went back to work and then it was just like he never got to see her. We never got to see him. And after about a year of that, it was like, this has got to change.

Chris Koerner (2:02)

I'm just trying to get a sense of the timeline. What year was this and what was the other job that he had?

Sariah Howell (2:07)

Yeah. So my daughter was born in 2023 and this was 2024 He was willing to keep working, but it just wasn't what we wanted. So it's actually really unusual, but I quit his second job.

Chris Koerner (2:23)

I got to hear this.

Sariah Howell (2:24)

He got home. He'd get home at like 1130 at night.

So a family member was actually his boss and I told this family member, I was like, he's done. I'm going to figure out something else, but it's just we need him. His health matters too. He needs to be home. So he got home at like 1130 one night and I was like, that was your last shift. And he was just like, what? It's like, how are we going to find this house? It was just at a local grocery store, a stocking shelves. And so he didn't like it. He would much rather be home. But it was kind of from that moment on, I was like, okay, I need to find a job. I was super sick the year after my daughter was born. And that's why I wasn't working up until then. But I was like, I could find something I could do from home. And so I started looking into things and I'd made a goal at the beginning of the year to print more pictures because I'm definitely the person who will take a thousand pictures and then I never go back and look at them. And I was like, I'd love to look back on those memories more. But I don't want to cover my walls in picture frames. And so I was like, what could I do on the side from home that could just bring in like an extra couple hundred dollars a month, maybe two hundred dollars a month. And so I started looking at things that would match my goals. And I was like, I wonder what I can do picture wise. So I just started Googling, looking for different ways to, you know, put pictures in your home to display them. That's kind of unusual. And I came across the magnets and I found a machine that made them. And I was like, well, if I buy this, then maybe I can turn this into a little side gig. And so I did that and it just blew up in my face.

Chris Koerner (4:06)

In a good way?

Sariah Howell (4:07)

In a great way. And so in a way that I didn't need to get another job. And so that first month, I think I made a little over a thousand dollars. Not that that's a crazy amount, but like to us, that was a lot. That was probably...

Chris Koerner (4:21)

Was that profit or revenue?

Sariah Howell (4:23)

Profit.
