A WOMAN has revealed that she quit her dull 9-5 job to become a stay-at-home mother.
And now, Kelly G, who is from the US, has made six figures, and works just one hour a day thanks to her savvy side hustle.
The mother explained that as a result of digital marketing - the component of marketing that uses digital technologies such as desktop computers, mobile phones, and other digital media and platforms to promote products and services - she doesn’t have to physically go to work and barely has to put in any hours in to make cash.
Not only does Kelly swear by digital marketing, but she also recommends affiliate marketing too - which involves promoting businesses' products in exchange for commission.
She said: “Here's exactly what I do to make six figures from home, never having to work a 9 to 5 or leaving my baby.”
Kelly explained: “I'm a former 9 to 5 working mum who just wanted a better way, wanted out of debt, wanted to be able to be at home with my baby.”

The mother revealed that thanks to affiliate and digital marketing, she can earn money whilst chilling at home in her sweatshirt.
In a follow-up clip, Kelly went into further detail on how she earns cash, as she claimed that thanks to such marketing methods, you can earn money passively, and she works just one to three hours a day from home.
Kelly explained that her side hustle involves companies paying her to recommend and promote their products.
Kelly then shared that she uses a baby monitor on a regular basis as a mother, and thanks to an affiliate program, is now able to earn revenue when someone buys the product through her unique link.
She shared: “My best friend is about to have a baby and I just know she's gonna need this.
“I send her my affiliate link that Walmart gave me, she makes the purchase, Walmart pays me a commission, and it didn't cost her any extra.”
The savvy mum claimed that you can use ‘the power of the internet and social media’ to reach millions of customers.
She concluded: “I have no hidden talents, I have no special skills, I'm just an average mum from a small town in North Carolina who wanted a better way and I was willing to learn and step out of my comfort zone to make it happen.”
'THAT WOULD BE AMAZING'
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @momminwithkellyg, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has since racked up a whopping 1.1 million views.
Social media users were stunned by Kelly’s side hustle and many were keen to express this in the comments.

Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income?
MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle.
The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules.
When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to.
But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves.
Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable.
"The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products."
You can make profit of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you’ll usually need to pay tax.
Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax.
"The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income."
If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top.
A third commented: “Wow, that would be amazing.”
At the same time, someone else claimed: “This!!! Also started digital marketing to escape the 9-5.”
