How one woman earned over $250,000 working from home after quitting her 9-5!

This is an awesome story of how Kim Springer and how she wanted change because she wanted more time with her daughter.

In January 2013, Kim Springer left her job.
Nearly 15 years after becoming a mom to her two older sons, the now 42-year-old had given birth to her third child, and realized she wanted to leave her job as a medical office assistant in New York City to stay home with her daughter.

Her husband, a graphic designer working for an advertising agency, was on board with the plan.

“I wanted to do something, not just stay at home,” Springer says. “I was still in school working on my Masters in media studies, so I said I’ll devote this time to finishing my Masters, and some blogging or something to make additional income.”

She started working on a few projects, including building websites for professionals in the health industry and creating online communities, first building a Facebook page for Tyler Perry’s character Madea that attracted around 30,000 fans.

Springer’s efforts to learn about online marketing couldn’t have come at a better time — after more than a decade, her husband’s agency closed its doors and he was out of a job. “They gave him severance, and while he was trying to get back into [his field], it was really hard because that field had evolved from where it was 13 years ago,” Springer says. While her husband took classes to polish his skills in search of a new job and Springer tried her hand at blogging, the family relied on credit cards to get by, ultimately racking up around $40,000 of credit card debt.

Down to about $500 in her account, Springer decided to invest in a course to learn more about online marketing. (The exact course is no longer offered, but was run by Chris Record from the Internet Marketing Bar.) One of the revenue streams Chris and his then-partner Arthur Tubman introduced was a social commerce site called Teespring, which enables people to create and sell their own tee shirts.
