Woman, 26, who made $11,000 in 100 days shares one important piece of advice

An Ohio woman who made $11,000 in 100 days on top of her day job has shared one important piece of advice on how to do it.

For a lot of people, the basic salary they receive off their employer each month is often not sufficient and makes it difficult to save up to purchase a home, for example.

With properties at a record high across the US, many are resorting to side hustles to fulfil their dream of owning their own property.

Jackie Mitchell is one of those who had a dream of having enough money to put a down payment for a new home.

Through different side hustles, Jackie challenged herself to make $100 a day for a period of 100 days.

This was on top of the salary she'd be making from her 9-5.

Once the 26-year-old had finished her day in the nonprofit sector, she became engrossed in the likes of surveys and focus groups to make more cash.

In fact, the woman from Columbus also played video games online to boost her funds even further.

In the end, Jackie smashed her $10,000 target 11 days prior, meaning she and her husband can now buy a property.

Jackie managed to make an average of $110 a day, for a whopping $11,000 made in the three month period.

She has been documenting the entire journey over on TikTok and revealed just how she did it in an interview with CNBC Make It.

"It’s just been so surprising reminding myself that little bits of money make a big difference," she said.

"It’s kind of an encouragement to think that even if you make $5 a day, $5 is way better than $0."

For those wanting to do something similar, Jackie shared one piece of advice that could help you achieve it.

And that is breaking down the goal, no matter how big it may be, into a smaller one.

She explained: "If you’ve got a goal of paying off a car loan that’s $8,000, try to calculate how much you can reasonably do in six months.

"What does that look like every month, every week, every day?"

Jackie continued: "I really do believe that at least some of the information I’ve been giving can be helpful to at least one person, one single mom, one stay-at-home mom or one college student.

"And if I can help one person earn an extra $100 a month, why would I not post that?"
