TikTok star Emily Brogan has explained how she pockets £1,900 a month on the side by helping wealthy women organise their wardrobes. The Australian influencer, who boasts more than 210,000 followers with 5.4 million likes on her TikTok account, has been able to fulfil her dream of immigrating to London thanks to her 'side hustle'.
Emily set up a side business that offers a service to help women in Brisbane organise their homes, including tidying up and colour-coordinating their wardrobes. Brogan was pocketing an additional £480 a week with the second job, before making the move to the UK, reports The Daily Express US.
Explaining how she set up her side business viq advertising on local Facebook groups, Emily told fans on TikTok: "I posted in them and I was like, 'Hey guys, like I have extreme OCD. I love organising and I have this dream to move to London, if you want to help me you could hire me to come and I charge $50 an hour'."
To be able to get her desired fee, she targeted specific areas where she knew people could pay £40 ($50 US) upfront. While detailing her plan, Emily noted: "I was like 'oh there's no way people are gonna pay me $50, wages in Australia like you know between like $20-30'.
"I was charging double time here, I was charging for a bank holiday. I was inundated with people like rich mums being like, let me help you sweetie let me help you live out your dream."
Towards the end of her business venture, Emily said she was working around 12 hours a day while juggling her 30-hour per week retail job at the same time. Following her success, Emily urged TikTok fans to chase their dreams: "It was such a good time, I was rocking up to these houses and untangling necklaces for 30 minutes for $50."
"So many people, if you have a vision, make that s*** happen. There are no excuses if you have a goal in mind to do it and it will happen."
