A U.K edition has been needed for a LONG time. Thank you for this

[JennysAsmrFun]

Only 6 minutes in and i am absolutely hooked. Finally something for the uk . Love all the videos on making money from the US but it's no good for us in the uk . I love how you just give us the information in plain and simple terms and that all the information you give are potential leads for us to make money on the side. Great video !! Going to checkout your other videos after this one has finished . Thankyou !!!

Wow!, I didn't hear a single "super excited", "awesome", "reach out" or, "nitch" in this video. What a refreshing change to see someone from the UK talking in dulcet tones and not the customary loud-mouthed Americans 'SHOUTING!' about making money online.

[Raetalkss]

I had to sub because you are a Brit honesty appreciate British content like this!

[ernesta]

Amazing content and really well presented! Finally something for UK people.

[Simplyluwi]

[frothyfriz]

Im 17 and im in a position where i need to get rich, learning now profiting later. Hope everyone achieves their own richness in life

[Jason-fpqm]

Quality video, so glad you're not one of these lound 'in your face' type of youtubers. You're straight to the point & offer some exceptional advice. Earned a sub. Fair play mate

The best UK side hustle video I have found so far on YouTube. Thank you

[kylieboph]

So grateful for this video... with the pandemic and loss of work and then unpaid maternity leave i joined an MLM was not for me at all and ive been searching high and low for something i can do online. The online world has way to much information it can become so confusing and its so hard to know where to start. Grateful i found this video its simpler isnt a cringey sales pitch and so helpful... i want to start something this year its my goal so i will be following your channel for lots info and tips.

I made extra money as a mum offering mobile car cleaning to other mums/ladies. I’d drop off my kids, go to the house and offered different rates - just empty car n vac, basic interior clean, deeper clean, exterior wash. I found it embarrassing taking my car for detailing with all the school/kids junk in - plus waiting around while they tutted at me. The ladies were so happy they could wait(hide) in their own home. Very little outlay n paid for my groceries n treats easily.

I have a passion for voice-over work but i suffer with anxiety and panic attacks. Because of this, I would hate to let anyone down if they offered me job, so i usually don’t get involved in these types of things. But watching your video has made me want to try. It looks like i could give it a shot on my own terms. Fiverr seems appealing to me

[GaiaNaVi]

I think you are possibly the best source of info on this subject available. Thank you so much. I finally feel like i may have a future.

[ImmaOlerum]

This is the sort of content l have been looking for, l am glad to have found your channel.

[Mrskess]

You mentioned child minding as a local service business.it’s not actually possible to just set it up quite with some equipment. There is a certain registration process you have to go through as well as getting DBS check and OFSTED registration.

[Lucy-kqcn]

Hallelujah! A helpful, straight to the point video with realistic content. No need for the pointless overuse of superlatives or exaggeration of what the outcome is likely to be. Thank you so much. I’ve subscribed.

[Chaz.hands.]

This is such a good video. Definitely going to try a couple of these options. Thank you for making this.

UK edition is what we been waiting for! Fab! Well done

[cathyjoenganje]

Very refreshing to get someone from the UK on this topic. Living in the UK it can be frustrating to get mostly American contents.Well presented and deeply informative. Good motivation and will certainly look into it as i am looking to start a side hustle. Thank you. Well done.
