A woman has revealed how she’s managed to ditch her 9-5 job all thanks to working from her phone – and feels as if she’s ‘cheated life’ with her new career online
The cost of living crisis has got us all holding onto our money a little tighter – but one woman has revealed her savvy way of making money, and claims she no longer lives ‘paycheck to paycheck’.
Jess Bolton-Knowles said she makes £10,000 a month, and feels as if she’s “cheated life” as she no longer needs to work a 9-5, as she can work solely from her phone.
The 26-year-old and mother said she now owns her dream car, can go on holiday whenever she wants and doesn’t have a boss to answer to either.
Living the dream, Jess took to TikTok under the username @jessboltonknowles to share her impressive money-making career and how it took her just five weeks to “completely change” her financial situation.

The entrepreneur candidly told her followers: “I always had a rocky relationship with money, always living paycheck to paycheck and had no savings – I had honestly had enough of living like that. I kept seeing other people around my age claiming to make four figures a week and I thought it was too good to be true so I took my time to research it properly.”
She revealed how she came across digital products, that are created and sold in an electronic format. These include printable art, digital planners, e-books, stock photos and more.
She decided to explore digital products while on maternity leave with the aim of making “a few hundred extra a month to help whilst on maternity,” however she claimed she’s made £30K in the last three months. Jess explained how she also does some work with UGC (user generated content) to help top up her earnings.
