Making Money as a Manifestor
(Job & Business)

Tell me if this sounds familiar to you- You discovered you're a Human Design Manifestor, and your thought was- "I can never have a normal job! I need to find a way to make money online". ?
Let me unpack my employment VS business, and see if that can spark some ideas in you!

Keeping a 9-5 job as a Human Design Manifestor

I'm not gonna lie- being a Manifestor and trying to hold on a traditional 9-5 job is not pleasant. If I look back at any point before 2015 (when I opened my online business), my jobs were mostly periodical - working anywhere between 2 months to 1 year before burning out, getting angry, and leaving.

The fact is, I was able to stay afloat due to saving a bit in these relatively high paying jobs, and to last longer in workplaces in which I was the solo-employee for that specific thing, and not a part of a team. Such as being a marketing manager in a small startup. I was also placing myself in key positions, far before I went into the IT and Media world, so that when I want to work today from home, or need a day off- there would be less resistance, as I was the one that always over-delivers.

The Transition to Working Online

In 2025, I was fired for the first time ever from a job. I was constantly angry to the point of collapse.
Having had several spinal injuries in my past, and a Fibromyalgia diagnosis- that I have learned to live & work with-
things spun out of control, and I had a new "fun" letter combination to add to my medical folder- CPTSD.

I didn't have the money to stop and take care of myself, so I took my knowledge from being employed and started an online business that was service based: building websites for clients, managing their social media accounts, updating their blogs, while also putting more time into my existing blog that I had, that made some money through Affiliate Marketing.
In 2017 I discovered Print on Demand, and in 2018 I started doing 1:1 ecommerce consulting.

In 2021, following the loss of many of my consulting clients, who have passed away due to covid, I fell into a black hole emotionally.
After months of extreme pain and fatigue, one day I woke up and decided I will start a Youtube channel- to share all of that information that I shared with clients- just for free, on Youtube, and learn video editing in the process.
That decision - to be fully PASSIVE in my business, and not waste energy on clients- changed everything for me.
It's on that channel that I documented all the ways I ever made money online, and if you click on the attached image (or here) you could see that video with more details on my online journey.

It's all about alignment.

There is no "one solution fits all".
Yes, for me- Youtube & other passive income streams were the answer. But other Manifestors thrive in coaching, selling service 1:1, and even in employment.
It's about finding the path that best suits you, with your own Unique Design. A place or path that allows you to honor your rest cycles, and shine with Creativity.
If you do wish to go on the path of having an online business, I wrote a manual of sorts to having an online business as a Manifestor, on my main website (along with a guide on making money online for all Human Design types).
