After years in a high‑pressure corporate role, Ana Calin, founder of How We Grow, decided to swap boardrooms for creativity. In less than a year, she transformed her skills into a thriving creator business - now bringing in over $20K every month.

The Journey:

She began with a strong asset: her newsletter community. Loyal, engaged, and hungry for knowledge, this audience became the launchpad for her first paid workshops and services. Her first KOMI sales came almost immediately after announcing them.

“People trusted me because they’d been reading my work for months,” she explains. 
“The feedback and traction were instant.”
Breakthrough Moment:

The speed of her audience’s response was the green light she needed to scale. Every workshop she released sold out. That momentum gave her the confidence to keep building, expanding her offers, and refining her KOMI setup.

Lessons & Advice:

Her key piece of advice: “Don’t focus on pricing - focus on the solutions you’re offering. It's not the pricing that sells, but the clarity and simplicity of your offers.” She’s convinced she could have started years earlier.

 “Looking back, I wish I’d begun sooner.”
How KOMI helps me:

On KOMI, Ana utilizes newsletter signup form, workshops, 1-1 coaching & digital  products - “They’re incredibly easy to set up and simple for my audience to use,” she says,

“Since leaving corporate I've built a 6-figure newsletter, a SaaS product, and a life I actually want to wake up to. Now I teach others to do the same.”

From zero to $20K/month, her story shows the power of building an audience with a multiple-monetization infrastructure. KOMI didn’t just make selling easier - it made scaling inevitable.
