My little boy created a genius ‘side hustle’ making £15 in seconds… it’s cheeky but I’m so proud of him
A MUM has revealed how her little boy created a genius “side hustle” – and made £15 in seconds while doing.
Posting on TikTok under the username @fullmhouse, the divided parent explained exactly how his cheeky hustle worked.

The TikToker said that her son could make around £15 in a few seconds[/caption]
The clip begins with the family – including young teen sons JJ and Reid hanging out at home in the US.
And text on the screen then reads: “We just found out our oldest son has been selling his younger brother his clothes that he would eventually get for free.”
The boys’ dad says: “I’m actually super impressed by Reid.”
Their mum then asks the youngest boy JJ: “What did you pay for this shirt?”
“$20 (£15), but he gave me other shirts too!” he replies defensively.
Then dad chimes in, laughing, “You can’t sell your hand me down shirts to JJ!
“JJ don’t buy hand me downs from Reid anymore.”
It’s then revealed that young Reid has made enough money to buy a new pair of Airpods.
And it meant his brother was left with only $120 (£95) of his savings.
As always TikTokers were quick to weigh in with their opinions in the comment section.
One wrote: “A young money maker, I love it.”
Another added: “Such an entrepreneur.”
Other viewers simply commented that Reid’s business sense was “epic” and “genius”.
Some viewers reminisced on their childhood and related to the youngster’s entrepreneurial instincts.
“I used to make my brother do my chores and I would give him money that I made and he could buy back his games that I took,” said one.
A second viewer wrote: “I used to save my happy meal toys and sell them to my cousin.”
While a third chimed in: “I always bet my brother a dollar that I could finish washing the dishes before he could drying them. Best hustle I ever ran.”
“I charged my younger sister rent when she wanted to sleepover in my room,” said another.
It comes as a woman revealed how she made £30k through an easy side hustle without leaving her house.
While another savvy entrepreneur shared how she made over £3,000 in just one week thanks to her side hustles.
Meanwhile, one student says that his side hustle means he can pay for his pints at the pub with the cash he makes every week.
The 21-year-old was previously struggling to pay his rent and go out and have a good time with his pals.
But now, he earns more than enough on the side to fund his social life and contribute towards his living expenses.

Saturn apparently has 145 moons. So eat it, Jupiter.
Jupiter briefly stole the limelight in February when new research revealed the planet had so many more moons than once thought, it was the new solar system leader.
But Saturn is back, baby.
A group of astronomers has announced the discovery of 62 more moons orbiting the sixth planet from the sun, bringing its total natural satellites up to 145. When confirmed by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, the new tally should make Saturn the first planet in space known to have over 100 moons.
Edward Ashton, who started the study at the University of British Columbia, used a detection technique that involves stacking photos to capture more details in a single frame. The process helps uncover fainter and smaller cosmic objects. Astronomers have used this method to hunt for moons around Neptune and Uranus, but not for Saturn until now, according to the university. Researchers from other institutions collaborated on the project.
“Tracking these moons makes me recall playing the kid’s game Dot-to-Dot,” said Ashton, now a researcher at Taiwan’s Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, in a statement. “But with about 100 different games on the same page and you don’t know which dot belongs to which puzzle.”
The Minor Planet Center, which catalogs moon designations, has published 42 of the new Saturnian moons over the past week or more. It’s working to process and confirm the others over the coming week, said Matthew Payne, the center’s director, in an email to Mashable on Friday, May 12.

Assuming all candidates from the study receive their designations, that would mean Saturn’s moons way outnumber those of other planets in the solar system.
Saturn: 145.
Jupiter: 95. (Apparently, its own tally has ticked up three more moons since the February announcement that it had become the new record holder, according to a NASA list.)

When the Saturn research group took sequential images of a moon as it moved through space, they were able to collect more data to strengthen the moon’s signal. That allowed the team, which used the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii for their observations, to find moons as small as about 1.5 miles wide.
The search began in 2019 when Ashton and collaborator Matthew Beaudoin were students. The objects were tracked for two more years to ensure they weren’t just asteroids zipping close to the planet. They and their team also used previous detections that weren’t tracked long enough at the time to establish moon orbits.

The researchers say many of the new moons are likely remnants of collisions that shattered a bigger moon or moons into pieces. All of the newly found ones are considered “irregular,” the researchers said, meaning they have large, tipped, oval-shaped orbits. These moons also tend to cluster based on their tilted orbits.
“As one pushes to the limit of modern telescopes,” said Gladman, a UBC astronomy professor and study collaborator, in a statement, “we are finding increasing evidence that a moderate-sized moon orbiting backwards around Saturn was blown apart something like 100 million years ago.”
I’m a gym girl – I got fed up with my figure so I lost 70 lbs, hula hooping and treadmill walks helped me get there
A GYM girl said she didn’t always lead the healthy lifestyle that she does now.
She became fed up with her body and put in the work to lose 70 lbs.
Jess Vick (@jesslouisevick) is a lifestyle and fashion influencer who took to TikTok to share her weight loss journey.
In the video, she shared a photo of herself posing in the mirror, wearing nothing but a bra and underwear so that her fuller figure and shapely backside were on display.
“Then one day she got so fed up with herself,” she began, talking about herself in the third person.
A series of old photos and videos of her eating candy and laughing then appeared on the screen.
“She was so annoyed, and she hated how much she loved food,” Jess continued.
Eager to make a change, she decided to start eating mindfully, throwing away candy and opting for healthier choices while going on a calorie deficit diet.
She also incorporated a fitness regimen to her daily routine.
Jess began hula hooping and speed walking on the treadmill, filming herself to prove how much she was slimming down.
Photos of her in a bra and underwear revealed her slender frame, ripped stomach, and carved legs.
Still, she said the journey was not without its emotional moments.
“I start laughing so much that my eyes water,” she said, crying in her car.
Her caption, too, reminded others to go easy on people like her: “Never judge a book by its cover.”
In another clip, she revealed she had lost 5 stone, which converts to 70 lbs.
