Episode Description

What happens when a 14-year teacher gets fired and decides to bet on herself instead of going back to the classroom? She builds a $7K/month freelance ad management business in under a year while homeschooling her kids and working 25 hours a week. That's exactly what today's guest, Kendra, did.

In this student spotlight, Kendra shares how she went from zero marketing experience to five clients, all in the educator niche, using nothing but Instagram cold DMs and daily consistency. We're talking real numbers, real strategy, and real talk about what's been hard too.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Kendra discovered her niche organically and why you don't have to have it figured out before you start
  • The simple cold DM approach she uses to land clients without ever leading with a sales pitch
  • How she manages five clients while homeschooling two kids in about 25 hours a week
  • Why working more hours is NOT the path to more revenue (and what to focus on instead)
  • The Conversions for Clients resource that helped her most when she was starting out
  • Her goal of hitting $20K months this year

If you've been wondering whether this is actually possible for someone starting from scratch, this episode is your proof.
