Insane! This Mother Of 5 Makes $100K+ Working 20 to 30 Hours Per Week As A Content Creator
Ever dreamed of a full-time income working from home as a part-time creator?
Every parent knows how hard it is to care for ONE little human being. Some even say it’s the worst job on earth.
Zero pay, highest demands, and a high-stakes project.
Well, the content creator I want to introduce to you today has 5 (!) children AND runs a successful online business.
Having children is definitely an experience you don’t want to miss out on because kids change you.
With becoming a parent things change.
I’ve experienced this myself.
I’m thriving for more freedom meaning more quality time with my toddler, husband, and family.
Instead of climbing the next career ladder and becoming a Head of Marketing, I’d love to grow my side hustle into a thriving online business.
Do you also want to make this dream come true?
Well, here’s the proof that it’s possible.
Avital Schreiber Levy is a real-life success story.
Avital is from Israel.
She used to be a graphic designer AND a mom.
As a side hustle, she shared her knowledge about parenting and wanted to empower other “imperfect parents” on their journey.
Of course, her side hustle was unpaid first (as well as her Mommy job) but within three years (!) she built a 6-figure-empire.
She became a Parenting Junkie
Three years ago, there was one moment in Avital’s crazy family life when she felt a bit out of control.
She realized her two-year-old was afraid because of her emotional outburst.
This made her realize that she wanted to become a better parent — not a monster.
In order to improve her communication and emotional skills, she started reading hundreds of books about parenting. Since she wanted to share her knowledge with the world she opened a YouTube channel.
She called this YouTube Parenting Junkie since she became a junkie for all this valuable information about parenting.
No unsolicited advice on her YouTube channel
On her YouTube channel, she shares what she learned about parenting without giving unsolicited advice which most parents (me included) hate the most.
She covers topics such as:
- Too overwhelmed to be a parent?
- Adjust your expectations!
- Feeling good as STAHM!
- What if you hate your child?
And yes! This also reminds me of headlines from Medium publications such as The Motherload, The PINK, or Family Matters.
Every Monday she releases a new video.
This way she grew her YouTube channel from zero to 86.4K subscribers and 4 million views within only (!) three years.
YES!, as I love to tell my students:
Small incremental steps can help you reach your largest goals and fulfill your dreams!
It’s all about slow growth.
Working just 20–30 hours per week
I find this example so impressive because she only works 20 to 30 hours while raising her five children.
As an addition to her YouTube channel she also launched her own blog and website:
On her website she offers:
- four on-demand online courses (the best for every parent!)
- a membership program called Present Play
- her Podcast
- One-On-One Coachings
- Freebies
- AND she’ll soon publish her first book called Present Play.
A fantastic work-life-balance
Aren’t we all thriving for a good work-life balance?
I love that she mentioned in an interview with Marie Forleo:
Plus, my work life balance is fantastic.
At one point I was homeschooling four children and I simply couldn’t work more than about 20 hours a week.
And what I love even more is…
She’s providing a service without having a degree
Avital turned her passion for better parenting into a $100k+ business — without — wait a minute! — a validation of a Ph.D. or any other degree.
Oftentimes we think we have to have a degree or any other training or certificate but…
NOPE!
You only have to be one step ahead of the majority of the population in a subject in order to teach it, as I explained in one of my most successful articles about growing an online business.
Self-belief instead of self-doubt
Although most of her friends and family said no one would ever pay for her services and courses, she managed to monetize her small online business by steadily growing her followers and fans.
Fast forward to today, she has 50,000 parents on her mailing list.
The latter is the most important asset if you want to grow your online presence and brand:
You can offer and sell your services plus you get wonderful feedback from your community:
I receive messages every single day from parents whose lives have been transformed because of my words, Avital says.
I want something else!
Before I had my little boy I thought I can handle almost everything.
- working long hours for my day job as a manager
- coming home late
- working at the weekend
- missing family parties
- flying around the world for meetings
- giving presentations in front of hundreds of people
- staying in anonymous hotel rooms in cities whose names I almost couldn't remember
Now, with my toddler in its “terrible twos” in the house I can’t handle this anymore.
I’m not anymore only responsible for me but also for my little guy.
On a daily basis, he shows me with his mood swings and temper tantrums that he’s the boss (toddler) in the house.
Meaning whenever he feels deeply frustrated because his wishes aren’t fully understood I feel the weight of being a working parent on my shoulders.
And
YES! at some point I realized
I want something else for the future!
That’s why I started my side hustle 15 months ago by working in the evening from around 7p to 9p and investing 20+ hours.
Plus, I’ve diversified my online business. I now have four income streams.
The foundation of everything I do is writing on Medium.
This year, on average, I make 3K per month (= meaning around $30–36K (before taxes)) with my side hustle and I want the same for you!
I want to help you lay the foundation for your side hustle to become a thriving online business.
Join my last Medium Kickstarter Boot Camp this year!
If you say
YES! I want something else too for my life as a mom or dad! I want to turn my passion into reality.
I have good news for you.
For the last time this year (it’s sad, I know *sniff*), I’ll open the doors for my Medium Kickstarter Boot Camp which deeply benefits parents and their tight schedules.
When? April 2022
How long? 5 weeks (1st April — 5th May)
How? On-demand videos, exclusive Community, Live Q&A, and coaching sessions.
Available Slots? 15 participants. 4 spots are left.
How many parents? In my last cohorts, more than 50% of my students were parents!
What’s in it for you as a parent?
- you learn how to start or grow your online writing business
- you build a daily writing habit
- you learn how to promote your articles
- you become a Top Writer
- you gain traction on Medium
- you see your numbers tick and earn a decent amount of money
If you say ‘YES! I want this!’ leave a comment, send me an email to [email protected], or sign up here.
Why is it your last chance to join?
As former boot camper and mom of two girls Melissa Marietta said:
At the helm of the group is Kristina, who I found incredibly talented, ambitious, insightful, and helpful.
Beyond helpful.
I’m still astounded at the time, energy, and personal attention she gave to each of us.
Yes, although I love to host it, the Boot Camp with LIVE sessions (in the evening, German time) is pretty time-consuming for me.
That’s the reason why I’ll offer this type of service for the last time this year.
I hope I could inspire you with Avital’s real-life success story.
I’m a real-life parent too AND within 15 months I’ve already managed to go from zero to around 3K+ per month with my four income streams.
Medium is the foundation!
Medium has become my home.
It’s all about incremental steps and slow growth.
The bottom line
So I want to teach you, one last time this year *literally* everything I know about the platform (plus all the future updates and changes that are on the horizon.)
I know it took probably years out of Kristina’s life, but it added whole lotta years to mine, June Kirri, mom and student from Cohort 2
I truly want to help you grow on Medium and spark a shift in your own life.
