One woman is sharing how she was able to become a millionaire thanks to her surprising side hustle.
Auri Kananen, 30, from Tampa, Florida was able to make this amount of money by being a house cleaner.
Originally, she started cleaning homes for free in 2020 while still working her main job as a cleaning supervisor during the week.
On her social media channels, including YouTube and TikTok, Ms. Kananen documents herself working and provides tips to viewers.
These videos have become so popular that the content creator has been able to attract sponsors and significant ad revenue.
As of today, she has over 10 million followers on TikTok and was able to earn €500,000 (£429,088) from her YouTube channel alone.
The social media star explained: “Cleaning is fun – the best thing ever. I absolutely love it. It makes me feel satisfied. Happy, very relaxed – like my life is complete.
“I remember being excited to have 100,000 followers but now to have 10 million is crazy – It’s like I have my own cleaning crew I am very thankful,
“The money didn’t change who I am, I just love cleaning and sharing it to the world. I love my job. It is super satisfying when you can wipe a thick layer of dust. It’s just the best feeling ever.
“I’m chasing this feeling week after week and I’m always trying to find dirtier and dirtier houses.”
Last year, Ms Kananen launched her business from her side hustle and now travels the world cleaning homes, visiting the UK, Switzerland and Sweden.
Many of the properties she cleans are quite dirty but this is not an issue for the professional house clever.
Sometimes Ms Kananen has been forced to deal with rubbish up to her knees, fridges full of mouldy food and rats.
Often these homes have fallen into this state due to the residents dealing with some sort of issue.
Ms Kanane added: “I can relate to these people who need help because I have felt like they have before so it feels really good that I can help these people out at no expense,
“The people are very thankful for me cleaning their houses with some even writing to me a few months after to thank me,
“Some tell me that I have helped them start breaking their negative cycle, which makes me feel great.”
