In an interview with CNBC Earns , Shannon Smith shared the story of her Financial upgrade ,which skyrocketed from $1000/ $2000 a month to $8,600 a month ,after she discovered a secret online business she wished she knew earlier.
She also told CNBC Earns how she lost her Jobs, as a result of the pandemic, to setting up a business and how she discovered the secret information that made her a 6 figure earner.
Speaking with CNBC she narrated;
When the pandemic hit, I lost both my waitressing and personal training jobs. I decided to take the loss as a sign to build the online fitness business I had always dreamed of.
I sold 90-day fitness programs, which included custom workout and meal plans, along with weekly coaching sessions via Zoom. I made about $1,000 to $2,000 a month and supplemented my income with my savings and Covid stimulus checks.
But I ended up working 10-hour days and getting burned out. So after a year of trying, I decided to part ways with my fitness business and find another way to make money.
For months, I had seen affiliate marketers — people who get paid commission by an online retailer for website traffic or sales — on my TikTok feed.
I was skeptical at first, but I had nothing to lose. I took an online course that convinced me that affiliate marketing could be a worthwhile business model, so I went all-in.
In July 2021, I used my Tiktok and Instagram accounts to market affiliate products. I began posting multiple times a day, giving tips on how to start a side hustle, earn passive income, and grow your presence online. All the while, I promoted business and wealth-building tools and programs.
By October, I had amassed 43,000 followers on TikTok, my largest platform.
Since then, I’ve made an average of $8,600 per month in passive income (a.k.a. commission off my affiliate posts, including posts that are several months old and posts that sold recurring subscriptions).
If you told me a year ago that I could do what I love — creating helpful content right from my phone and work just two hours a day — I would have laughed.
I now have the freedom I’d always wanted. At 24 years old, I was able to move into a beautiful apartment in New York City, I get to travel frequently, and my life no longer revolves around work.
