SCARLETT MOFFATT TO EXPLORE HOW TO MAKE AN EXTRA £10K PER MONTH IN NEW CHANNEL 4 SHOW

The internet is flooded with ideas to help cash-strapped Brits earn some extra money on the side. But are any of them viable streams of extra income?

In 10 Days to 10k?, a new TV show for Channel 4, TV star Scarlett Moffatt will put side hustles to the test to see which can make maximum profit with minimal effort. Made for Channel 4 by Scottish-based indie Flabbergast TV, this one-off will investigate a range of money-making ideas that are hailed as keeping the nation’s pockets topped up. 

Scarlett and her team of busy Brits will test each money-making activity for profitability and how easy they are to do alongside their day-to-day lives.  From selling crafts and pre-loved products, to digital money makers like Dropshipping (selling products online and outsourcing fulfilment purposes) and print on demand. Scarlett will try out a list of activities to work out which are the easiest and most profitable to set-up and run in just 10 days.

Alongside busy mum Scarlett, helping her test out the many money-making ideas, she is enlisting two recruits. One will be a part-time worker, and the other recruit will have the most available schedule out of the three. Scarlett and co. will each trial different methods to decipher whether it’s possible to achieve the annual £10k target. Or indeed more.

Deborah Dunnett, Commissioning Editor, Channel 4: “I’ll be honest, I hate the term ‘side-hustle’, but research shows nearly half of Brits have a second income, and they allegedly average out at £10,000 a year. Imagine being handed that in cash… Some people say they give up the day job entirely. But what we want to know is, can everyday folks do it as easily as social media would suggest? Flabbergast TV have delivered an excellent idea, and I can’t wait for viewers to find out what’s worth their time and effort and what isn’t.”

Andrew Snowball, Creative Director, Flabbergast TV: “We can’t wait for people to see Scarlett as they’ve never seen her before. Investigating the big claims about how easy it is to make money from seemingly endless side-hustles, she thrown herself into finding out first hand which ones are easy to set-up, which will leave you tearing your hair out and which could make us all an extra 10k a year without taking over our already busy lives. Her investigation is funny, surprising and for anyone wanting to know the best way of beefing up their bank balance, not to be missed.”
