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…

How I’m Making £2000 in “Free” Money This Year
I love finding weird and wonderful ways to make money. And one of my favourite ways to boost my income without much effort or time is through free money or as it’s more commonly known interest. Whether that’s bank interest, LISA gov bonuses or sign up offers they all come under my umbrella of interest. And if my projections are correct I will make over two thousand pounds from this income stream alone in 2024. Two thousand pounds – an insane amount for someone who started out on £5 per hour washing dishes. How am I planning on making this much? Let’s dig into my plan… LISA BONUS I’m obsessed…

10 Things To Do To Make Money From Answering Surveys
Answering surveys for a little bit of extra cash each month is something I have been doing since 2020. I always call this hustle the ultimate marmite hustle as people either hate it with a passion or love it. I’m firmly in the love camp only because I have had moderate success with it over the years (see exactly how much I’ve made here) and it was my first online side hustle. Now I will admit there are some scammy survey sites out there that just want to collect your data but there are a few good ones which you can make decent money off. It’s been nearly 4 years…

£5k Hustle Challenge – How I did it in 7 1/2 months!
I am currently on a gap year after graduating uni back in July 2022. My intentions for this year were to slow down a little bit, do some travelling and decide what my next move is going to be. I’d set aside a pot of money (£5k to be exact) to cover all costs associated with the year. But I soon found out I’m not the type of person who can just sit idly all day. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love a sofa day but I need to be doing something. Enter the £5k hustle challenge! Disclaimer – This post contains some affiliate/referral links which means that I…

June 2022 Money Review
June has simultaneously felt like both the longest and the shortest month ever. I cannot get my head around the fact that we are already half way through 2022, how is that even possible!! However, it is one of my favourite months of the year as it’s my birthday, the days are longer and brighter and the sun occasionally makes an appearance. But without further ado, lets get into it! What is a money review? It is where I share reflections on my finances from the previous month, and detail every penny in and out. I find doing this at least monthly is a good way to stay connected to your…

How I Made £16,446 from Side Hustles
There is only so much you can reduce and cut from your budget! Eventually you will reach a certain point where to save more you need to make more. Entering the side hustle!! What is a side hustle? There are many different definitions out there but I class a “side hustle” as anything I do to make money beyond my primary source of income. Currently, my primary source of income is my student maintenance loan, paid to me by the UK government to cover all living costs. I started on my side hustle journey exactly 2 years ago, which was just after I had been made redundant from my job…

Is Branded Surveys Legit? Make Money Answering Surveys
Branded Surveys was the first survey site that I used and actually made money on. This means I don’t want to give up using it even though it isn’t the best site out there. Whilst it may take longer than other sites, you can still make some money using this survey provider. Further some of the surveys will take you onto bigger and better things. Like a 2 day evaluation of a new series I qualified for from a survey on Branded Surveys, which paid £45. Although I’m not checking this site now as much as I did when I first started taking surveys, I still use it from time…

Prolific Review: Is it the best survey site?
Prolific is hands down the best survey site I have ever used! Forget earning pennies for half an hour of your time, studies on Prolific pay on average £7.50/hour – most of the time more! This is more than the current minimum wage for my age group! The site is very easy to navigate and refreshes itself so you don’t need to be on it at all times. Unfortunately because the site is so popular some of the studies fill their quotas very quickly, which can be annoying and feel like a missed opportunity. Yet there is always more studies on the way. Let’s get into my full Prolific review……
