Newsletter 1: Unlock Hidden Income—11 Creative Ways to Make Extra Money Online!

💡 Hedgehog Huddle: My Obsession with Earning Money in Unique Ways

Hi there, and welcome back to Hedgehog Huddle!
If there’s one thing I love, it’s discovering unconventional ways to earn money. Sticking to a traditional office job has never been my style. That’s why, alongside my full-time work, I run a lash extension business, freelance as a caretaker, and explore new income streams all the time.
My first money-making adventure? Selling chocolate bouquets on Yahoo Auctions as a teen! It taught me the power of creativity and action. Since then, I’ve experimented with investing, passive income ideas, and digital products—some worked, some didn’t, but each step brought me closer to financial freedom.
Today, I want to share 11 creative online income streams that most people overlook. These are flexible, exciting, and could be the missing piece in your financial puzzle. Let’s dive in!

🦔 Hedgehog’s Quick Take – Are Subscription Services Keeping You Broke?

If you’re like most people, you probably have at least 5-7 active subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, meal kits, digital tools). It doesn’t feel like much when each one is 10−10−20, but they add up quickly!
Here’s what to do:
📌 Step 1: Review your bank statements for the last 3 months and list all your subscriptions.
📌 Step 2: Cancel at least ONE unnecessary subscription today.
📌 Step 3: Redirect that money into your savings or investments!
💡 Small savings add up: One canceled 15subscription=15subscription=180 saved per year!
