Pound to £5k Challenge

Edition 56

These weekly emails keep getting more and more popular so with that I am keen to share more of the same in the hopes of helping you have a more fruitful 2025 financially!

The link below has now been sorted so that you can look through all emails ever sent from 2024 and also from 2025 in a more organised way!

GET THE YEAR STARTED WITH MY FAVOURITE SIDE HUSTLES

Side hustles are a contentious subject as I know lots of people think it isn’t actually possible to make money online, that some of them are scams or that side hustles simply aren’t worth the effort

As someone who has made £10,000s from side hustles over the last 4/5 years I am passionate about busting these myths and sharing what I have learned along the way with my top-earning side hustles!

• Matched Betting - this is a TAX-FREE side hustle that can be done from the comfort of your sofas and only takes 30-45 minutes to master. I have made £1,000s from this over the years and it was my very first side hustle!

• Mystery Shopping - this is currently my most valuable side hustle and allows me to earn extra cash whilst out and about at supermarkets, shops or restaurants, also bagging me freebies along the way!

• Bank Switching - the EASIEST side hustle you will ever find. Banks pay up to £200 for switching to them and there are easily £2,000 of these offers available each year. The best part - I have found a secret way to do this without ever leaving your current bank!

THIS WEEK’S TOP DEALS!

BOOSTED CASH ISA!

Last week I shared the highest paying Cash ISAs and yet again the rates have increased further with Trading 212 now paying 5.05% on their Instant Access Cash ISA which you can open with just £1

Trading 212 has been partnered with The Bank Engine for a while for their investment accounts, but this Cash ISA is also a great product in our eyes and has featured heavily in MoneySavingExpert recently

What’s more, if you open an investment account via my code then you can get a free share worth up to £100!
