Last year, the mum of two set herself a challenge to earn £100,000 from side hustles, alongside her job as a Venture Capital Investor.

When she started the challenge, Helena didn’t know she was pregnant, but when she found out, she didn’t let this get in the way of her goals, and managed to make tens of thousands whilst raising a new born.

Helena said that when she had her first child, she did not take maternity leave, and was still working whilst in a hospital bed after giving birth.

Not wanting to go through that again, the mum searched for ways to make money whilst hardly having to do any work.

Helena’s side hustle is selling digital products online.

Digital products are goods that exist in a digital format, such as music, digital art and online courses.

Some examples of digital products that Helena sells are notion templates, masterclasses, ebooks and spreadsheets.

Once Helena made these products, she began to earn money passively, and before her baby was born, set up automated emails and messaging so that she can sit back and let the money roll in.
