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…

£10k Side Hustle Challenge – Month 1 Update
In 2024, I am embarking on a 10k Side Hustle Challenge. Ten grand. Even writing that down seems INSANE! But I’m very optimistic that I will smash this goal! My last side hustle challenge was to make £5,000 by the end of my gap year to match my spending budget. I had initially thought it would take the whole year to achieve but incredibly I smashed that goal in 7 1/2 months. That means the goal I set was too easy so I’m doubling it. The Rules This year I will have two main sources of income, my summer job and my winter job. And as this is a side hustle challenge…

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…

I Entered 2000+ Competitions… But Did I Actually Win Anything?
Towards the end of 2022, it felt like everyone and their dog was winning thousands of amazing prizes through comping. From actual thousands in cold hard cash to holidays in the Maldives, these wins were all over my instagram feed and I thought “that’s gonna be me next year”. To the point that I made “enter 10,000 comps” a 2023 goal and added a picture of an over-water villa in the Maldives to my vision board. I was going to win a bunch of incredible prizes and then be the one posting on instagram about the cool wins. Well, that’s not exactly how it went. What is comping? Comping is…

3 Side Hustles I Want To Focus On in 2024
Testing out new side hustles have become one of my biggest passions. I absolutely love finding the weird and wonderful ways to make money – whether that’s online, in person or a mix of both. This hobby of mine led to me ending 2023 with 20 different income streams, none of which are fully sustainable or predictable. So in 2024 I want to narrow my attention a little bit and focus on a few side hustles that I can either see becoming a sustainable income stream or something I’ve been putting off. Now this doesn’t mean that I’ll be ditching all the other side hustles I have, just that I…

Daily Draws To Enter For Free Instead Of Buying Lottery Tickets
I was one of those kids who dreamt that one day my parents would come home and tell us we won the lottery and were going on holiday the next day. Then I grew up and realised how unlikely winning the lottery actually is and what a sheer waste of money it is. You are so much better off investing the money you would have used to buy a ticket in the market each week. Let’s do the maths. Google says a EuroMillions ticket is £2.50 and there are two draws a week so £5 to play both. If you invested that £5 per week or £260 a year and…

Can You Actually Make Money Answering Surveys?
Surveys are the ultimate marmite side hustle. Either you absolutely hate them or you secretly love them. There is a special place in my heart for surveys as they were my gateway hustle into this crazy world of making money online that I now find myself fully invested in. Let me take you back to March 2020 when you might have guessed it, I didn’t have much else going on. So what did I do? Like any rational human who had just lost their job I googled “how to make money online” and hey presto making money answering surveys became something I did.

£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…
