After 10 years, a lot of trial and error, and more tears than we’d like to admit, we know a thing or two about what it takes to turn a small hobby and passion into something amazing and profitable.
As sisters we started our blog Six Sisters’ Stuff in 2011 as a way to simply stay in touch. After realizing that people were interested in the things we were sharing, we began monetizing our content through a few basic Google ads with the goal to one day take our family on a Disney cruise. We knew that was a lofty goal, but it sure was fun to dream!
We had no idea what was going to come of our small blog, but after years of hard work, and multiple revenue streams, we’ve turned that small hobby into a 7-figure a year business.
We’ve been in the trenches. We’ve done the hard work, the not so fun work, and have experienced work that has failed. We’ve tried things that weren’t successful, and we’ve been told “NO” more times than we can count.
But among those hard lessons, we saw a lot of success. We saw blog posts, Pinterest pins, videos, and other content go viral on the internet. We landed a book deal, and then another one, and eventually published 10 cookbooks selling over a half million copies worldwide. We teamed up with our dream brands and traveled around the nation speaking and teaching others to do the same. And we grew our small social media following to a dedicated following of millions.
Things started slow, but the spark was lit 10 years ago and there is no way we are going to let that fire burn out.
So now, here we are, excited to share how you too, can take your hobby or dream wherever you want to take it. We split up the work in our company and because of that, we’ve become experts in many different fields. We can help you in every aspect of your business, and we intend to do just that.
Here are the women and the experts behind the Start-Up Spark:
