Hey! I’m Ruth, a money and personal finance writer based in North East England. I started this blog because I wanted to share my own experiences of making money online, and the lessons I’ve learned over the ten years that I’ve been self employed and working from home.
Here you can expect to read about genuine ways to increase your income on your own terms, and how to make your cash go further.
Whether you want to side hustle an extra few hundred pounds each month, or you dream of ditching the 9-5 for good, I hope that you’ll find plenty of ideas and inspiration to kickstart your journey.
After graduating with a degree in Business Studies and spending a brief time working in human resources, I quickly realised that the corporate world wasn’t for me. Most of my online career has been focused on freelance writing, and that’s a subject that I cover regularly on the blog.
I’ve written about everything from attracting your first clients, to creating a portfolio, to overcoming the fear of starting your own freelance business. I’m really passionate about the opportunities and freedom that freelancing can afford you, and my goal is to arm you with the knowledge that I wish I’d had when I was first starting out!
I’m a big believer in diversifying your income streams, and I’m always eager to explore additional ways to supplement my earnings and create more security and peace of mind for the future.
I regularly write about matched betting, as well as how to make money from blogging. I love learning and acquiring new skills that I can bring to my online ventures and the work I do with my clients, and I particularly enjoy diving into the world of SEO, website development, and digital marketing.
I also occasionally cover topics including lifestyle, wellness, home, and interiors.
