Side hustle success: Mum of two turns £5 idea into business worth over £250,000

As a writer for a news site, I recently came across an article that caught my attention titled “Side hustle success: Mum of two turns £5 idea into business worth over £250,000.” The story was about a woman named Jessica Blackler who turned her side-hustle into a successful business and I found it quite inspiring.

Jessica Blackler, a 29-year-old single mum from Devon, came up with the idea for her beauty business, Jecca Blac, while working as a makeup artist. She realised there was a gap in the market for gender-neutral makeup products, so she started creating her own.

She began by investing just £5 in materials to make her first product, a palette for colour correcting. She later launched her own e-commerce website and started selling her products online. Her business quickly started gaining traction and her colour-correcting palette became a hit.

Today, Jecca Blac is a £250,000 business with customers all over the world, and Jessica has expanded her range to include foundation, concealer, and lipstick. What sets Jecca Blac apart is its commitment to inclusivity and celebrating diversity.

I was impressed by Jessica’s creativity and determination in building a successful business from scratch. It’s a testament to the power of having a clear vision, working hard, and being persistent in achieving your goals.

As someone who has also started a side-hustle, I can relate to the challenges and rewards of building your own business. The article reminded me that with dedication and the right mindset, it’s possible to turn a small idea into a thriving business.

In conclusion, the story of Jessica Blackler and her successful beauty business, Jecca Blac, is a powerful reminder of the potential for building a successful business from a simple yet innovative idea. Her story inspires and motivates us to pursue our goals with passion, determination, and an unwavering commitment to inclusivity.
