Maya Portorreal, 27, started Kitten Co. with just $2,000 as a one-woman team in 2019. Making $45,000 a year at her full-time job, her jewelry side hustle generated her $250,000 in her first full year. Brand ambassador promotion on Instagram and business classes helped her grow her sales to $472,000 in 2020 and $350,000 in 2021. Her pieces range from $30 to $250, making them affordable jewelry. Working out of her apartment in Union, New Jersey, she’s added her mom and one remote worker to help with the company.

Nursing nobady in amarillo does it at least 100 million doing it
Great story❤❤❤
Like jewelry ❤😊
Extremely inspiring. But it wasent luck. She worked it hard. I hope the absolute best for her
I am grateful for sharing your personal experience.~~
For some information, we also have a fashion jewelry wholesale site in Korea. It's not enough yet, but I want to grow like her
I knew I recognized her from Abu's ads!
🔥🔥🔥
7 dollars to make
💯
Good for her paying her mom so well, she's creating an impressive business.
Congratulations Maya! ❤
Lol @1:41 screen off but ok..l
Abu Fofana is the Man! He is the go to for running Facebook Ads for your business.
These are the kind of women that need praise not these insta phonies.
is this gonna be another video of these people just saying generic, bland, instagrammy quotes without actually offering real,physical advice of what they did.
"Well, the only thing I did to be successful was to really push myself and think, I just looked to the stars and then suddenly I was making 350"
That's great, using a fiduciary can also make you as much.I progressively increased my stock purchases at the beginning of the year, but nothing major. Why am I treating this so harshly? I want to be the first person in my polygamous family to make a million dollars, even if others in my industry make six figures per person. I am well aware of the costs associated with working more hours in order to make more money.
Im happy she made it
I love that she said
in 2018/2019 i wanted to sell jewelry and make some designs that i wanted for myself but wasn’t seeing on the market and i never went through with it and it makes me sad thinking where i could be if i just believed in myself and powered through and did the grind. she’s very inspirational
SHE DID THAT
Visited the website and have to admit that the rings actually look really good. I'll probably buy one in the future (when I have someone to buy it for).
Dude, I LOVE THIS GIRL! So humble, so grounded, so chill. A breath of fresh air and a spark of hope for me 💓
Smart woman. Would love to have had that mindset early on!
Gooo 😊😊
Almost sounds like she admitted to having her business cover her personal expenses. Careful saying things like that.
Whos making her jewellery
I appreciate your honesty, this video will hep me to launch my jewelry store as well.
Question: did you ship everything yourself? That would be a full time job on your own. Great story
Influencer marketing is an investment that goes a long way. More success to Maya!
Gwaaan! Did so well
I thought that was Scotty Pippen
seems like a phony or fell off her ig only has 10-20 likes a post so she bought followers
she is most likely talking about revenue not profit as well
Well, we can guess it's not as a model. lulz
So… basically how to profiteer off someone who actually has talent? Ugh.
After a horrendous 2022, shell-stunned financial backers have misfortunes to recover and a lot to consider, as an expansion report and a pile of different information did close to nothing to change assumptions that the Central bank would probably keep climbing interest rates regardless of whether the economy dials back, And that implies more red ink for portfolios for the principal quarter of year 2023. How might I benefit from the ongoing unstable market, I'm currently at a junction choosing if to exchange my $300,000 security/stock portfolio.
Thank you for the inspiration wishing you much success!
