About Me

🌟 About Kirsten

Hi, I’m Kirsten Baum — digital creator, affiliate marketer, creative entrepreneur, and proud cat mom of three fluffy Persian furballs.

I’m the founder of Working with Kirsten, a platform born from the highs, lows, and lessons of navigating the digital world — and a deep desire to help others build income with heart.

Today, I live and work in the beautiful South of France — a dream I’ve held for as long as I can remember. Nestled in the stunning region of Provence with my French husband and our three spoiled Persian cats, I’ve built a freedom-based lifestyle thanks to the very thing I now teach others: online income that’s flexible, ethical, and aligned.

💻 How It All Started

Over the past decade, I’ve explored nearly every online path you can imagine: eBay, Amazon, Kindle publishing, Etsy, eCommerce. I loved the creative process — but eventually, I burned out. After pouring everything into writing and publishing, my Kindle account was shut down. At the time, platforms like IngramSpark were still costly and out of reach, and the options felt limited.

So I pivoted into email and affiliate marketing, chasing that dream of a lighter, more sustainable business model. Unfortunately, this path brought me face-to-face with one of the biggest scams in the industry: Cliqly. In August 2024, they collapsed without warning, leaving over $1 million unpaid — including $14,000+ they owed me.

That moment shattered me. I hit financial and emotional rock bottom.

But I didn’t stay there.

Instead of giving up, I drew on everything I’d learned. I found a mentor who introduced me to something that changed my life: Helponomics — the belief that by helping others first, success follows naturally.

I rebuilt, this time not just with strategy, but with soul.

✨ The Birth of Working with Kirsten

Working with Kirsten started as a personal comeback story — but it quickly became something bigger. It’s now a platform where I share my experience, insights, and tools with people who are done with the scams, the burnout, and the button-pushing nonsense.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or starting over, this is where you’ll find real, heart-centered ways to build online income. I focus on strategies that are ethical, sustainable, and built for real life — not just screenshots and hype.

I call it digital income with purpose and peace — and it’s the reason I’m able to live out my dream life here in Provence.
