    How I Made £326.41 From Side Hustles In July!

    September 5, 2024 /

    Well, July was almost a write off month for side hustles. My entire month was spent working at a summer camp in West Virginia. Camp is super full on so I barely had time to do any side hustling. With this in mind, earning a total of £326.41 is actually kinda decent all things considered. Heads up! In my side hustle earnings reports I count every penny earned in the month of May not necessarily money that has hit my account. Let’s take freelancing as an example: the total you see in this post is the hours I worked in July but I probably won’t see this money until August…

    How I Made £577.03 From My June Side Hustles!

    September 4, 2024 /

    June was a tough month to find time for side hustles as it was my first month back at camp. Working at a summer camp is a full on 24/7 job so the fact that I was able to still side hustle over £500 is INSANE to me! Spoiler alert – July did not go so well 😅 Heads up! In my side hustle earnings reports I count every penny earned in the month of June, not necessarily money that has hit my account. Let’s take freelancing as an example: the total you see in this post is the hours I worked in June but I probably won’t see this…

    September 3, 2024 /

    Holy moly, May was THE month for side hustles. It was my last full month before heading back out to WV for another summer at camp so I knew I had to make the most of it. And I was all over the place – 2 weeks at home, a week working in my uni town, a weekend in Oslo and a staycation with friends. But drum roll please… I made £2287.96 from side hustles!!

Plus if you’ve read one of my previous challenge updates you’ll know I only count payments that have actually hit my bank account so in terms of made income I’m much closer to finishing the challenge! But how exactly did I make £5k in 5 months from side hustles? Keep reading to see where every single penny came from.

    How I Made £1989 In Extra Income in April

    May 4, 2024 /

    Start of a new month means only one thing here, it’s time to add up every penny from the wide array of the random side hustles I do each money to bring in some extra income. For some context, I currently have two seasonal jobs which take up 6 months of my year and then I have 6 months to do with what I please. I like to top up the income I make from these gigs with a range of online side hustles. And I’m going to share them all in this post and break down exactly how much they each brought in. How does this income report differ…
