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.

Dog Walking – £18

First, Charlie made a tidy £18 by walking her four-legged friend Simba.

The pair enjoyed a leisurely stoll, while Charlie cashed in on their cute bonding time.

Mystery Shopper – £39

She then made £39 as a mystery shopper.

The savvy saver went undercover at the pub, a bowling alley and a dress shop – and was reimbursed for all her spends.


She even managed to use the opportunity to treat her other half to two fancy date nights, where they tucked into burgers and scored strikes at the bowling alley.

Without costing Charlie a penny!
