I was living paycheck to paycheck but now I make more than £3k a week – I only work two hours a day
A WOMAN has revealed that she was living paycheck to paycheck but now, only has to work one to two hours a day, and can make thousands of pounds a week.
Niamh, a mother from the UK, explained that thanks to digital marketing and digital products, she is able to earn more than £3,000 in just one week.
Digital marketing, which is also called online marketing, is the promotion of brands to connect with potential customers using digital communication.
This includes not only email, social media, and web-based advertising, but also text and multimedia messages.
Meanwhile, a digital product is any product that is created, distributed, and consumed in an electronic format.
Digital products refer to digital files that buyers can purchase and download instantly, such as printable art, digital planners, e-books, stock photos, and more.
Posting on social media, Niamh opened up about her online side hustle, as she explained how much she earned in one week with digital marketing as a busy mum who fits her side hustle around her current commitments.
Whilst on Monday the mother made £446, on Tuesday, she cashed in £545.
On Wednesday, Niamh earned £292 but then made £497 on the Thursday.
However, Friday was a big win for Niamh as she made £1,322, which made up for her mere earnings of £18 on Saturday and £16 on Sunday.
In total, Niamh, who described herself as a “busy mum who doesn’t have much spare time”, made £3,135 in just one week, as she claimed that she has found “the best way to earn an income online.”
She expressed: “I cannot believe that in the first seven days of April I have doubled my monthly salary. I have cried happy tears so much this week.
“I am so grateful I took the leap to learn how to use my social media to earn an income online from home.
“I spend one to two hours per day on the important parts and the rest runs on automation, meaning I can earn an income when I am at work, sleeping or with my family. All whilst not being glued to my phone.”

She claimed: “At the start of the year I was living paycheck to paycheck budgeting everything to make sure my money stretched for the month. I was never able to treat myself to anything or be spontaneous.
Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income?
MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle.
The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income – but you need to know the rules.
When you’re employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don’t have to.
But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves.
Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: “Caution should be taken if you’re earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable.
“The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products.”
You can make profit of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you’ll usually need to pay tax.
Stephen added: “You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax.
“The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income.”
If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe – plus extra fees on top.
“Digital marketing and digital products have literally changed everything for me and my little family.”
She explained that her side hustle has given her “more freedom” and more time to spend with her son.
