I’m trolled for not having any self respect thanks to my online side hustle, but it’s earning me hundreds a week
AFTER going from broke to shopping at designer outlets, one woman shared the secret to her success.
And while she is now raking in hundreds each week, not everyone is supportive of her side hustle.
In her viral video, TikTok user Anna (@itsanna.ff) revealed the online trick she uses to make money.
The TikToker is able to finance her lavish lifestyle with her handy hack, and it doesn’t take up too much of her time.
Anna explained that she sells pictures or “footagraphs” of her feet online.
She demonstrated how she uses lipstick to write the names of her clients on her foot before photographing it and sending it to them.
After writing a name accompanied by a love heart, she shared various angles of her foot with her audience.
Anna revealed that her work involves other foot-related content such as writing men’s names using her feet and filming it.
She told her followers that one loyal client forks out £400 each week for the service.
Despite the easy money, not everyone has been supportive of Anna’s innovation.
She shared that people often tell her: “You literally have no self respect.”
However, the TikToker gave viewers a glimpse into the life she has created for herself.
This included shopping sprees at designer stores, trips abroad, and literal piles of money.
She showed off how unbothered she has remained in the face of hate online.
Anna even encouraged those criticising her to “stay broke.”
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the set-up in the comments section.
“I actually value my self respect, thank you,” wrote one unimpressed viewer.
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 a gross income 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.
“Yes, I would rather stay broke,” agreed another follower.
On the other hand, many commenters were inspired to follow in Anna’s footsteps.
“That’s all the self respect girlfriend, get that bank,” wrote one person.
“OK, I actually need you to teach us how you started,” said another viewer.
“This is the second video like this on my For You Page, I think it’s a sign,” commented one TikTok user.
