#3: Sam Varnerin, founder of Snuggle with Sam:

We chatted with with Samantha, founder of Snuggle with Sam ($11.3K/month). In our interview, Samantha says:

About 300 people filled out the application form within a week of the article going live, and that was the starting point of what is now Snuggle with Sam, which about four months after the article went live I began to pursue full-time.

Additionally:

I didn’t have to start from scratch. I had already been doing this work for over a year and generating $500/month easily from cuddling without really trying, and I was able to bring my clients with me when I left the agency. Scaling up a bit more was easy.
