Eight years back, Becky Powell, a kindergarten teacher, started a simple project during her maternity leave. She created educational worksheets for a digital marketplace called Teachers Pay Teachers. Now, she and her husband Jerome have transformed this ‘kitchen table’ project into a substantial income source.
Becky’s store, Sight Word Activities, focuses on literacy for young learners and has become increasingly successful over time. In the last year, it brought in a whopping $125,500. Jerome’s store, Editable Activities, adds $50,000 more to their annual income.
One of the most remarkable aspects of their business is its ability to generate passive income. Worksheets Becky made years ago continue to sell, ensuring a steady income even when she’s not actively working.
