A 36-year-old woman and mother are enjoying the success of her profitable business after many years of hard work.

Tori Gerbig started her hobby in 2011 with “about $300 to buy clothes and accessories from a wholesale website.”

In the beginning, Tori shared that “profits were anywhere between $300 to $1,000 per month.”

She wrote on her website:

“At the start of 2011, my husband Chris and I, like most working families, were working in corporate positions, and we were eagerly looking for a way to spend more time with each other and help repay our student loans.” -Tori Gerbig (Source: Pink Lily)

In 2013, Tori started a Facebook group to sell and market her clothes. There she developed loyal followers, including locally in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
