£10k Side Hustle Challenge: Month 11 Update
Welcome to the penultimate 10k side hustle challenge update. Spoiler alert – it’s an important one. I actually can’t believe how fast this year has gone! November was a great month for side hustle payments hitting my account. I started back full time at my intense winter job this month so it was nice to have a big chunk of income hit my account from previous work I’d done. I did have time to do a little side hustles in the month but nothing major so my month 12 update will reflect this. Before I breakdown all incoming payments in November, let’s me explain exactly what my 10k side hustle…

10k Side Hustle Challenge – Month 2 Update
At the start of 2024 I had a goal setting session and decided to challenge myself to make an extra £10k from side hustles. Currently, I have two seasonal jobs that mean I only work in person half of the year and have full flexibility over the other half of the year. Meaning I have time to embrace a bunch of random side hustles and kinda need the extra income boost in my off months. So I’ve embraced this side hustle challenge with open arms! But before we get into a month 2 update let me explain the rules I’ve set for myself… The Rules This year I will have…

Income Streams – Here’s What I Found Out From Having 20 Of Them
I remember back in 2020 when I first discovered the personal finance community and this crazy world of online side hustles hearing about how the average millionaire has 7 income streams and thinking “wow! I want that”. Then I started testing out online (and the odd offline one) side hustles and somehow ended racking up 20 different income streams and I’m far from being a millionaire. And I have learnt a fair few things alone the way. Want to see a full breakdown of all 20 sources and exactly how much they brought in in 2023 – read this article. For now, let’s get into the what I’ve learnt from…

5 Weird (& Wonderful) Things I’ve Done For Money
Now I won’t go so far as to say I’d do anything for money but my limit is quiet high. One of my friends recently told me that when her mum was asking what I was up to now, she replied with “erm I’m not actually 100% sure, but if it makes money, Jess is doing it”. Pretty accurate. I have jumped on some very random money making opportunities that have come my way over the past couple of years. And today I’m sharing my top five with you! Now, most of my side hustle experiences have been typical – the boring surveys, getting a second (& third) job, starting…

20 Income Streams I Had In 2023 – Full Earnings Breakdown
2023 was my first full year out of education since I was 3 and it’s definitely been an unconventional year. I brought the new year in in a car park in Seattle watching the space needle fireworks and ended the year in the pub I worked at whilst at uni. An ending I never saw coming but soon became one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I spent the majority of the year travelling full-time and living off a pot of savings. I was still dabbling in a variety of side hustles and ended the year with money coming in from 20 different avenues. Crazy. Plus the total took…

Income System – How I Deal With Multiple Income Streams As A Full Time Freelancer
I entered the crazy world of freelancing at a very strange time in my life. I was on a gap year housesitting my way through 11 countries and living off a pot of money I had saved during my third year of uni. So I never had to really think about what to do with the money I was earning on the side. It kinda just haemorrhaged towards whatever the priority was that month. But when I got back from my fab year abroad with the crazy thought that I could just keep going, I had to use the money I was earning more effectively. I would spend hours each…
