An Excellent Example of Being Human | Leadership | Wealth | Impact with Tory Dube


Jun 26, 2019

Erin Titensor is a Dallas Mom of two small boys that wanted a real connection with other moms. She started her Instagram @secretlivesofmoms and immediately received positive feedback and comments from moms that were grateful for her frank look into their daily life and struggles. She gives a genuine and truthful look at mom life. She tackles difficult subjects like depression and anxiety and real-life problems. Through her Instagram, she has made a deep connection with many of her followers. 

 

After seeing the amazing growth from her Instagram account, she decided to diversify her business and entered the online store business in May 2018. At the time she started considering ideas for a second business she didn't even know what e-commerce was! Since then she has built an incredibly successful online business called Simple and Blush. She uses influencer marketing exclusively and is the perfect example of how using e-commerce can help an influencer build a business that can have multiple income sources.
