WHETHER you are selling your old clothes or completing surveys online, side hustles can often take up a lot of our free time.
One entrepreneur, however, has found a way to make extra income with minimal effort – adding an extra £11,000 to her bank account.

While it might too good to be true, the businesswoman shared how she’d made the staggering sum in just a month (yes, you read that right).
Rather than selling clothing or completing surveys, Helena Di Biase has been making money from items she created – without the need to spend a small fortune on delivery.
Instead, she used her 17 years of experience to develop digital products such as courses, printables and classes about how to manage a small business.
Thankfully, you won’t need the same level of experience as her.
Instead, the savvy seller stated that you just need to find a topic you are an expert in to start selling digital products.
Helena even shared some of her expertise in short video, telling fans: “The key is that you know what you’re talking about, you can talk from a place of authority and credibility and you can teach people something of value.”
Whether it is fitness or food and drink, you can then think about what type of digital products would work well with your skillset.
Though Helena has created short courses and business templates, you could create recipes or workout routines – the possibilities are endless.
Even better, you can create the bulk of your products using your laptop or computer.
Having gone through this process, the TikTok influencer then advised her followers to sell them for a smaller price – with her revealing that lower fees have helped her online business flourish.
“For me, my price point has been very low and everything I’ve sold has been between £7 and £67,” she explained.
The entrepreneur also encouraged her 108,000 followers to choose a platform and try to stick with it, so you can grow your customer base.
While sales might not happen overnight, the influencer revealed that most of her come through the TikTok shop as her channel has grown.
Helena has also made it super easy for people to buy her products, with users not even having to leave the app to purchase a course or printable.

Ideally, your side hustle should do the same, with an easy-to-use check out so you don’t have to be involved with processing orders.
For any still looking to scale up their side hustle, Helena suggests using follow up emails to generate more sales from previous customers.
She has even managed to automate this too, with her online brand virtually running itself once she got it running.
Unsurprisingly, the businesswoman has been raving about her online business and told her followers that it had been the ‘best side hustle’ she’d tests so far.
Though she has reached that extra £100,000 just yet, we think it won’t be long until Helena reaches her goal.
If you feel inspired to start your own business, Helena has has loads of information available on her TikTok and her website.
