A mother of two has shared her journey to achieving career independence by replacing her full-time income with a variety of flexible side hustles.
Now, she’s anticipating an impressive income this year, all while working according to her own schedule.
Amy has amassed over 80,000 TikTok followers, as many tune in for her valuable tips.
Amy, known to her devoted followers as @ thehustlemumma on TikTok, has shared her no-qualification strategies, often providing her insights from the comfort of her own sofa.
She has outlined her top tips for allowing you to eliminate the commute and even relax in your pajamas.
Amy’s guide to these no-qualification income streams is a must-read.
Amy avoids depending on a single source of income; instead, she has developed a diverse portfolio of hustles, many of which are designed for passive income.
Her current focus is on her MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) venture with Aura Flame.
Initially aiming for a passive approach, she is now going “full steam ahead” to expand her management-level team.
“I don’t mind if you’re in your PJs [pajamas]; you can join our monthly staff meetings in your PJs [pajamas],” she states.
Direct sales can be entirely managed from home, on your own schedule, but success hinges on finding a product you genuinely believe in and dedicating time to building a strong network.
Amy also emphasizes that starting a business account is another valuable tip.
She and her husband, Nigel, operate a successful shop on Etsy, which has provided her with additional income.
She explained that after the birth of her daughter, Bonnie, and experiencing postnatal challenges, she “took my foot off the gas” and nearly lost the shop.
The couple spent months painstakingly rebuilding the business and are now focused on new passive products.
Nigel is currently developing digital products to sell alongside their physical goods—an efficient method since there is no need for stock or shipping after the initial design.
Etsy is not just for crafters; you can sell physical products or, for true passive income, digital downloads like planners, templates, or art prints.
Micro-tasks
Amy then discusses micro-tasks and how to earn cashback.
For quick, low-concentration cash, she utilizes task-based websites.
She found traditional survey sites like Atapol challenging, admitting her mind “works too fast for them,” but found success with Custard and Cashback.
These platforms offer tasks, games, and challenges that provide payouts for minimal effort.
While micro-task sites won't make you a millionaire, they are perfect for filling short gaps in your day—like waiting for the kettle to boil—to create a “holiday fund.”
Pet Care
Another suggestion is pet care.
For animal lovers, Amy highlights Rover, a popular pet-sitting app.
The app allows you to offer services such as dog walking, house-sitting at the owner's home, or boarding in your own home.
“If you have a dog in your house, you can earn cash while you’re at home,” she points out.
Amy advises potential sitters to check their local council for licensing regulations, noting that while a license can cost a few hundred pounds per year, it can easily be recouped from just one booking.
Affiliate Marketing
She also engages in affiliate marketing, which helps build income while you promote products.
Affiliate marketing, where you earn a commission by sharing links to products, is Amy’s most genuinely passive side hustle.
This is directly linked to building an online platform, primarily on social media.
“Building up a TikTok account, getting paid for your views, and then sharing your affiliate link is something you should consider because trust me, if I can do it, anyone can do it.”
The initial effort involves building an audience around a niche you are passionate about. Once that platform is established, you can monetize commissions simply by recommending trusted products and services.
The secret to Amy’s money-making strategy is monetizing her existing knowledge through digital products.
“Everyone is skilled at something; everyone has a niche,” she asserts.
Amy regularly shares her best tips on how to earn money from home.
The key is to identify what friends and family consistently seek your advice on.
For her, it’s about making money.
This inspired her to write her own book detailing her side hustles.
She also mentions exploring Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), where her husband is learning to create and sell low-content books (journals, planners, etc.) directly on Amazon’s platform.
Amy’s video received 22 comments, with many viewers eager to ask practical questions.
One asked: “These are great! Do you have to pay tax? How do I handle that?”
To which Amy replied: “Yes, you will need to register as self-employed; I have an accountant managing mine.”
