- 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.

I love that she said “you don’t have to be a social entrepreneur to be a successful entrepreneur”.
That must be why when I Google her name nothing comes up. I think that’s weird she does not have anything searchable 🤔
That was great to hear as an introvert
Yeah, if that means to let slaves make your dirty products and polluting through mining, production and the sales of non essential products, bravo, loud applause.
Fantastic. God bless!
@@blackcherry6877 Because her business is probably b2b based.
"$10K/month means...we can finally pay for the subway"-- Love this mentality, truly useful at helping prevent yourself from falling into lifestyle inflation.
I'm not from NY, what does _"finally pay for the subway"_ mean?
@@picklesmccoy7796 The subway is part of NYC's mass public transit system and it's inexpensive. So, when she said, "finally pay for the subway," she meant that she was going to continue taking the subway rather than buy a car or find some other mode of more expensive transportation. The purpose of doing that would be not to stifle her financial growth by not giving into lifestyle inflation/lifestyle creep.
@@picklesmccoy7796 I also wanna add that a lot of people get out of paying. There is a turnstile that will let you through after paying with your metro card but many people will just duck under without paying. The people who don't pay generally are poor and struggling.
Thank you so much for this video, Instant profit truly helps creators and anyone looking to get paid in this economy. Transparency = education 👏🏻
@@taram4414 Ohhhhhh okay thanks!!!
Dude Maya is 100% the kind of entrepreneur I respect and want to become. She's so grounded and realistic about both her process and expectations. Big kudos and I hope your brand goes through the roof.
Thank you so much for this video, Instant profit truly helps creators and anyone looking to get paid in this economy. Transparency = education 👏🏻
Time to start to DCA back into index funds, SPY, QQQ, etc over the upcoming months!
Learn from others but don’t idolize anyone
I agree. Her practicality so awesome, kudos maya
Love it
I appreciate her honesty about how she made a little money at first and began to grow. I also appreciate that she said she underpriced her product. Her story is a true view of entrepreneurship. She also stated how advertising investing was essential to her success.
Hi
How do you find a manufacturer
That's where it's helpful to take some business classes under your belt or at least some experience in the area of marketing.
Yes but that mean she had a budget for starting, I make my own jewelry and can’t invest money in marketing, that’s the difference with someone who start with money and someone who don’t.
@@Devi_Seona not sure ofcwhat her budget was. It could have been very small, but it definitely takes creativity and networking with others. Don't let money stop you from making your dream come true. Get creative
Key Takeaways
She reinvested the money she made back into her business to get inventory.
She spent money on marketing( ads, influencer, and promo)
She was able to hire help by employing her family members.
Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Too bad that oftentimes, family members or so-called friends are not really interested helping their own be successful. So, she and others like her are lucky to have family along with help that believed in her.
And she also spent $3k on an ads course which made her around $700k
@@Khayran that was a great marketing investment

When you invest you're buying a day you don't have to work
@Gary Threadgill You're right, it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company
Investments are stepping stone to SUCCESS, Investing is what create wealth
6:22 she's preaching right there. Your "day job" is super important coz you gotta start somewhere. Just don't let it be your final destination
It all depends. Some leave their job and then, start a business. There is definitely no one path fits all.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
You are right.
But I don't know why people remain poor due to ignorance
You're right, Investing in crypto currency now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market
people are really making a lot of money from it...
So investing in it wouldn't be a bad idea 💡
I went to high school with her!! Very inspirational very, much needed keep pushing 💪🏾👏🏾 I love seeing woman my age making things happen ❤️
Yes I loved seeing educated classy young black ladies succeeding instead of trying to be IG models and strippers. She is what younger girls should want to be like
@@sexyndacityable Idk, many are doing well that started that way. Kim Kardashian is a billionaire, and we all know how her career really got started, lol.
@kingsmommy...where do you hang out? Because I don't know any Black women trying to be ig models or strippers.

@@lindywinthrop8260 then you havent looked at instagram, facebook, etc etc...women of all skin colors doing that.
A DAY JOB GIVES YOU CASHFLOW TO RISK IT ALL….Listen up kids, she’s spitting straight facts. Scared money don’t make no money
Thank you so much for this video, Instant profit truly helps creators and anyone looking to get paid in this economy. Transparency = education 👏🏻
I see why she is successful. She made it work while working another job until it was profitable enough to move on. So many comments about her saying you don’t need to be a social entrepreneur is nice to hear. Also her designs are so cute!

I've been buying from her for years now. I love her company 🙂 She has motivated me to invest into myself.
Great, are they stainless steel ? What matériel ❤
Her directness, honesty, and business sense have made this lady so successful. I really liked her. A great video

So very Proud of Maya and ALL of her very well deserved success !!!!!!!
She is so inspirational, that she almost made me cry, I’m so proud of her!
ok girllll i love seeing young women doing their thing ❤️❤️❤️ so happy for you
her personality is so real & she wants to help people too bless her heart
I like how she adjusted her plan based off what she was finding actually worked. She tried things and then fixed her plans along the way.
Go girl! An inspirational story and love how humble she is.
Maya has a great mindset, attitude and Kitten Co.'s jewelry is gorgeous. Wishing her and her business much continued success.

Congratulations, Maya! Love your attitude and how you created your business. 🌸
What an incredibly motivational story. I’m also 27, and have wanted to have my own craft or jewelry business my entire life. I would make things probably by hand, but would love to do something like what you are too. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Maya seems so personable and open - I feel like I’ve known her most of my life. Much success to you Maya, great story & an inspiration to those that look like us
So inspiring!! I love that she recognizes that you don’t have to use a luxury brand to sell your product.
Yeeees ❤
Dude, I LOVE THIS GIRL! So humble, so grounded, so chill. A breath of fresh air and a spark of hope for me 💓
She's so humble, and quite intelligent with her entrepreneurship.
She had me from "The girls that get it, get it "! Rooting for you
Is people like her, that motivates me to keep on going and that inspire me
Everything sounds very honest and believable. Congrats to Maya for this early success!
So much style and substance in one package!
This was the sign I needed. Watching this right on time.
She just changed my world! I’m a newly single mom that works 2 full-time jobs to stay pay bills in this very expensive world & to put money into my own budding business idea. Her video made me cry from sheer happiness. Sooo many ppl have called me crazy for wanting to pursue my business idea. Mainly because other ppl are doing what I want to do. But I definitely have my own unique features. I’m currently burning the candle at both ends. But I know it’ll pay off. My kids are at the age where they help, learn & ask questions about my business model. I want to leave them something when I’m no longer physically here with them. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! 🥲🥲🥲
learn ways can promote your product.
. . . love, Love, LOVE this!!! Congratulations, Maya!! I'm so inspired!
Extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.
Lord we're looking at a billionaire. She definitely got the blueprint.
Maybe, in the future with more training, right kind of investments, and expansion, lol.
@@skywalker6648 And what business do you have ?
@@skywalker6648 I ask what job you have ?
@@skywalker6648 Was it difficult to start ?
I love that one of my fav influencers boosted you 🙌🏾 black women helping each other 👏🏾
Which influencer was it
"$10,000 a month means...we can finally pay for the subway." 😂 So true!
What?
@sassymatazzy I did I swear I just don’t know what it means like is it illegal?
@@TiffanywithaT just means can use the trains
@@TiffanywithaT It was a joke. Meaning NYC is so expensive that you need to make $10,000 a month before you can "afford" to take the subway/pay for transportation costs.
@@PinchAPennyWithJenny subways are cheap and they are meant for that tho- I live in NYC
Loved this! You go girl! 🖤
I work 2 jobs and always believe in the hustle, burn out is real and I’m glad she mentioned that but if you want to strive for a better and stable future, you have to be able to adapt and be flexible. Sending other female and male entrepreneurs good vibes on their journey ❤️🧿
That blue eye is and evil eye black magic
Wow!!! I love these authentic stories. Thanks for the motivation. I feel you on the no more hustle 🙏🏾 Cheers to millions. You have what it takes.
I loved her message at the very end. I love her
This is really inspiring. Listening to success stories like her's is truly encouraging because for starters, the beginning phase can be difficult and one can easily quit.
Let's keep going, it will get better.
Thank you so much for this Maya! The information was SO helpful to me. I'm happy to follow your brand and your story. Inspired!
So proud of you. Great video!!! 🏆💛
You’re video is the extra motivation I needed thanks and congrats on your success
She is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your story, advice and paving the way for others.
Way to go! So great to see your story!
Dope story. I know her sales are going go through the roof after this video.
When it comes to investing, diversifying into sectors based on their projected growth is Key. There’s no shortcut to getting rich, but there are smart ways to attain 500K $ returns; *get more information below*
Interesting, I’ve always been fascinated with investing and I need to start now. Could you possibly share more details or ideas on this approach.
What are the sectors you engage in?
I engage in different kinds of prolific investments such as launchpad IDOs, Crpto, Stock, NFTs, and vice versa through proper planning and management of a widely known Investment Professional, and so far acquired over *500K $* as a return.
As to get more details on suitable investment plans you could engage in. You can easily find the Investment Professional *(Diana Alexandra Hunts)* on the internet where you can easily reach out to her and as well write her.
Great! Got it
I’m delighted to engage in this opportunity, I just found the professional’s web page and have already written her.
Such a great and inspiring story. I hope her nothing but success for the future of her and her business.
I'm totally loving this!! Many blessings!!
Wow great story! Wishing her tons of success 🌟
I love that you talked about putting the systems in place to automate to reduce burnout.
This was so wonderful to watch. You go!!
Loved this! It was great to her story, as I've always thought of doing something similar. Appreciate the authenticity of this, no get rich quick vibes here ✨
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
yes
So inspiring. Thank you for being so honest and transparent. You are awesome
Really enjoyed your mini story. I believe you posess the unique & rare qualities of a naturally gifted entrepreneur. I admire your insight to establish a business that resonates with you. Including determination to follow through on the demanding work load. You express wisdom beyond your years. Finding a qualified mentor to guide you is a wise move. Investing in yourself to learn what you need to know is priceless. Wishing you abundant Blessings as you grow your successful business Empire! Thank you for sharing your story.
Her jewelry is beautiful!
I love her ambition.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the World. This is still a time to invest in Gold, silver and digital Currencies
The Forex market is by far the biggest and most popular market in the world traded globally by large number of individuals and organizations
I keep seeing lot's of people testifying about how they make money investing in Forex/bitcoin, and I wonder why I keep loosing. Can anyone help me out or at least advice me on what to do
All you need as a beginner to make good profit from cryptocurrency is a professional trader who will guide you through trade or trade on your behalf, else you may keep making losses
Options trading is the future investment, investing in it will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise
Forex/bitcoin trading is one good way of
paying bills which also create opportunity for crypto believers
Congratulations 🎉 Thank you for your tips and transparency.
CONGRATULATIONS, Maya! You are such an inspiration to us. I love how real and honest you are. Your jewelry line is beautiful!
kudos to you Maya, keeping shining.
This is so cool. My daughter makes jewelry as well and I have faith that she will make her business come true

Amazing! Kudos to her for her hard work!
Very "Real" on how her entrepreneurship journey was shared by her and love the humility

I can never do this but I'm glad for her. The designs are also great
When she said, she told them that she was going to start a jewelry brand and they said she was insane and they might think she is still insane, I immediately clicked the like button, it's unfortunate but that's exactly how most co-workers, family and friends are.
Maybe she had a good job before ?
She’s amazing! I love to hear this
Glad this popped up. I'm sharing this.
God bless you. I have always wanted to go into jewelry business. This now inspires me💪
Wow, I love this! What an inspiration, Maya is so authentic. I love she's hired her Mom, way to go. Intergenerational wealth the real way!
