Low Income Relief is a free information service that connects millions of low income Americans with the benefits, programs and resources in their local communities. Although the service began when Nicole Thelin was broke and nearly homeless, it now earns six figures per year!

When Nicole's husband, David, was medically discharged from the US Army in 2007, they found themselves on the wrong coast with no assets and no idea what to do next. They were ultimately faced with an impossible challenge: Find housing within two weeks or live on the streets.

Nicole spent hours at the library, using her research skills to search for affordable apartments and anything that could help. She eventually found several agencies that provided pledges for move-in assistance. Within two weeks, they were living in low income housing in Issaquah, Washington.

"It was unbelievable," said Nicole. "The research I did - and the resources I found - completely changed our lives. I have no idea where we would be today if we hadn't been able to get the help we needed, exactly when we needed it most"

In 2013, Nicole realized that she could use those same research skills to help other low income families. She began publishing articles at LowIncomeRelief.com, hoping to help other low income families find the help they needed. She never expected the project to be profitable.

Now, LowIncomeRelief.com serves millions of low income Americans per year and generates six figures of revenue annually. Nicole said, "The success of Low Income Relief is completely mind-blowing to me. I am so happy to know that my work makes such a difference in so many people's lives. I love the feedback I get from people around the country, who were able to find help at LowIncomeRelief.com"
