Case Study

I’m Hilary Erickson, the curly head behind Pulling Curls. I started the website as a “mommy blog” back in 2005 when I had two small boys who were making me pull my curls out. I came up with the name because I wanted to highlight something that made me different, and it’s always been my curly hair.

Pulling Curls income fluctuates monthly but the average would probably be around 16,000/month and was started with zero investment other than time and a lot of youtube videos watched on how to do things by Hilary.
