HAVE you ever been tempted to try out a side hustle to earn some extra cash?
You’re not alone, plenty of people across the nation are giving it a go as they struggle to keep up with the cost of living.
One smart side-hustler set herself the challenge of raking in an additional £10,000 this year through alternative money-making methods.
Charlie Louise documents her progress on her TikTok account, @charlie_louise_cc, breaking down her profits to her 8,600 followers.
This week, she’s made a cool £237, through some pretty unusual (and yummy!) methods.
Charlie captioned her video: “Part 6 – Is it possible to make 10k a year? Day 6 of my side hustle challenge and I’ve exceeded my goal. A study for £100 supposed to happen today for [sic] postponed though.”
Despite missing out on the well paid study, Charlie smashed her target of making £27 a day.
She showed video clips of the four clever money-making schemes she’d completed this week.
