Hey! I've almost finished my GCSEs, and instead of letting the summer disappear into TikTok and YouTube, I’m challenging myself to do something different:
Earn my first £1,000 online by the end of summer.
No big plan, no get-rich-quick scheme — just trying things, learning in public, and staying consistent.
Why I’m doing this
- I’ve made a little money before doing freelance dev work
- I enjoy building small tools, sites, and games
- I want to get better at shipping ideas fast
- And honestly, I just want to see if I can do it
I’m calling it Hustle2Grand
It’s a personal challenge to hit £1k by the end of summer. But I’ve also opened it up so others can join — especially if you’re a student, dev, or indie hacker looking to build something real this summer.
The rules:
- Starts June 19
- One blog update per week
- Try anything — freelance, flip, build tools, sell designs, whatever
- Track progress publicly (for accountability + fun)
Join me?
I’ll be blogging my progress weekly — what I try, what fails, what (hopefully) works. If you want to follow along, join in, or just lurk:
Let’s make this a productive summer.
(And if not... well, at least I tried.)

Hey I tried to login but I get this error
Love this challenge! Shipping fast and learning in public is the best way to grow - any idea what you'll try out first?
This is so cool! Looking forward to this grand project!!!
