Thanks to Daisy’s , she has been able to treat herself to a posh , numerous trips abroad and .

Opening up to about her success, which all started just over a year ago in January 2025, Daisy exclusively told us: “I started because I was fed up of working 8am till 6pm in and it’s been absolutely incredible.

“I was an apprentice, I was on minimum wage earning £8.49 an hour, so about £1,400 a month – and I just thought, this isn’t worth it, there has to be another way.

“I was literally living . If I wanted to do anything, I would have to split up the costs. I wasn’t able to pay for anything in full.

“I wasn’t really able to how it is supposed to be lived. I was struggling to get by, it was difficult.

“I used to use for pretty much everything. I used a bit of , I used a credit card for petrol and sometimes I wouldn’t be able to pay that off. It was quite a vicious cycle.

“I’ve always been really driven to make something better of myself, and live the life that I want to, and not live for someone else.

“I had to give something else a go so I jumped in, and obviously it’s been the best thing that I’ve ever done.”

Cashing in

For the past 12 months, Daisy has been able to make her fortune through and .

“I get people reaching out to me and I offer them a package that can help them get started and through that, I then help them build up all of their social media accounts and help them create their own products.

“I’m an affiliate for the SMGB [Self-Made Global Business] and DPH Mini [Digital Product Hub Mini] guides. I onboard people that way and offer my full support and mentorship the whole way.

“I also create digital products – guides that teach you all the information in digital marketing and I have a group chat that I put people in, so everyone can see everyone else’s successes, and see everyone thriving. It’s so beautiful, and the community is so lovely.”

Daisy started the process by in the DPH Mini Guide, which of course, she used Klarna to pay for.

She highlighted: “I put it on Klarna because I would put everything on Klarna when I was in childcare.

“I literally started for £25 and to think that that one little investment of £25 has now turned into £65,000 is absolutely crazy.

“Between day one and day 10, there were small sales – I made about £24 between day one and day 10. And then on day 10, I made just over £400, and then in my first three weeks, I made over £1,2000.”

Working 2 hours a day whilst battling hate

Daisy, who got “average” and didn’t do A Levels, now hasn’t worked a typical 9 to 5 day in 10 months.

She gushed: “With digital marketing, there’s no set hours. I do my own thing during the day, and then when I can, I’ll create a bit of content, which literally takes me about five minutes – I’ll put a video together, put some text over it, and post it to my .

“Throughout the day, I will reply to people who are interested or have any questions about what I do and then I do a at 8pm for an hour, so around two hours of work a day.

People are scared to get started, but there is so much more to life than a 9 to 5. This has been completely life changing

“It’s why I love it and why lots of other people love it as well, because it’s not time-consuming, you can literally do what you want, when you want, and still earn. It’s incredible, it really, really is.”

But working in digital marketing hasn’t always been straightforward for Daisy.

Not only did she raise eyebrows when she told her ex-colleagues about it, but she’s also been on the receiving end of some nasty abuse on social media, where she posts under the username @ dmmarketings_ .

Daisy acknowledged: “People at my old job, some of them just didn’t understand it. I had started it whilst I was working in childcare, I would come in and be like, ‘oh my god, I made £500 last night,’ and they didn’t understand it.

“My has always been super supportive about it. Obviously I guess she would have had her concerns of, you’re not going to a 9-to-5, what are you actually going to be doing, but now that I’ve earned what I’ve earned, she’s like, ‘go Daisy.’

“There are a lot of jealous people out there. I’ll get messages sometimes, people saying ‘it’s a scam, it’s not real,’ – a lot of people don’t believe it.

“Some people will say horrible things and aren’t very nice. People will comment on me, my appearance, they comment on my family – they say, ‘I bet your family’s so disappointed in you.’

“People are scared to get started, but there is so much more to life than a 9 to 5. This has been completely life changing.”

But that’s not all, as she recently treated herself to a £16,000 Mercedes too, as she gushed: “I bought that outright, it was kind of a spare of the moment decision.”

Daisy would recommend working in digital marketing to “literally anybody,” as she beamed: “Anybody and everybody who is , feeling like they don’t have enough to get by, feeling like they’re struggling in their situation.

“You . You just need a bit of passion and momentum. It’s a lot of mindset.”

Sharing her advice for those looking to get started, she beamed: “If people have already been thinking about starting it, then start it.

“The scariest part really is just getting started, once you’re in and you’re getting going, it’s incredible, it’s so much fun.

“I do this all from but obviously, if I’m on , I’ll do it on holiday – that’s the best thing about it, you can literally go to Spain for a week and you could just sit there and do it on your phone in Spain. There is no limit.”
