In it, she revealed that she had been sucking on mints to sell them on. She revealed that he had sucked on several different mints, then let them dry out, before then adding them back into the pot and sending them off for delivery. And although some had slightly "disintegrated" she still sent them off in the hope they will get posted in time for him so they are still intact. Throughout the video, Latiesha offers a little insight into her process. "So I only actually put probably about 24, 25 of these in my mouth, but you can see that they kind of all look a bit weird, so I guess it's more of a little puzzle on which one is which, so he can figure that out." She then goes on to explain that she prefers her mints to be a bit "sticky." Latiesha revealed that her customer will be paying her for these mints. She revealed that she uses Smints as they are her favourite ones and this makes her customers feel a 'bit more special.' Latiesha explained that she won't go and buy any random mint just because she'll want to give the person a touch. Kerry Katona's daughter Heidi opens up about her famous mum and reveals her way of dealing with haters She then revealed that those mints made her £500. Latiesha's video gained 18 comments, as many people rushed to share their views. One joked: 'It was mint to be! Get that bag.' Another suggested: 'Vacuum seal the ones instead of leaving them in a pot and they will stay in the same condition babe.' While someone else wrote: 'Iconic baby.' We previously revealed how Latiesha earns £5,000 a week by selling her toe nail clippings and spit. The 24-year-old previously appeared on This Morning to discuss how she became an entrepreneur in such an unconventional industry. She shared that while studying at university, aspiring to be a doctor, she started looking into ways to make extra cash. This led her to OnlyFans, which was just gaining traction at the time. It was there that she encountered her first unusual request: a man willing to buy a vial of her spit or shower water. Latiesha admitted her initial scepticism, but soon discovered an entire online community "that like weird and odd stuff." Since that first £40 tube of spit, Latiesha has built up a steady online clientele. She now averages £400 to £500 per item, with her most expensive sale, another vial of spit, fetching an incredible £1,500 from a long-term client.

OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London. As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators. Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up. Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform. "Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states. For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest. It isn't limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE woman revealed the unique career path she embarked on after deciding no to become a doctor. Latiesha Jones now makes £5,000 a week without having to clock in to any job. 2 Latiesha Jones was able to pay off her student debts and purchase a house by selling her toenail clippings online Credit: youtube In fact, the 24-year-old barely has to lift a finger at all as her online hustle involves simply selling her toenail clippings, hair, and spit to strangers. Appearing on This Morning, Lateisha discussed how she ended up becoming an entrepreneur in such a unique industry. She revealed that she had always dreamed of becoming a doctor and was studying at university when she began researching ways to make money. The then student came across OnlyFans, which was just taking off at the time, and decided to sign up. It was there that she came across a man willing to purchase a vial of her spit or shower water. Lateisha recalled her initial scepticism but she was soon introduced to the online community "that like weird and odd stuff". Since selling her first tube of spit for £40, she has now developed an online clientele and currently averages £400 to £500 per item. Her most expensive sale, another vial of spit, went for £1,500 to a client who she had a long business relationship with. Lateisha was soon able to pay off all her student debts and even purchased her first property thanks to the unusual side hustle. And while she acknowledged that money was her main motivator, revealing she hadn't put much thought into anything else, she has now taken other women under her wing. I make £5,000 a month selling my toenails, earwax and spit - it doesn't gross me out, I find it fascinating- Lateisha has created a community for women also hoping to make money selling their personal items online. She was joined by her protege Freya Ashthorpe for the ITV interview, explaining that she has always been motivated to help people. "My main goal for becoming a doctor was to help people and now what I'm doing with our community, I'm still helping women," she said. "I'm opening them up to something they can do safely, helping them make money in a way that they wouldn't have before. "In my opinion, I'm helping in a different way, I'm still helping people just not in a hospital." Side hustles in numbers Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income. Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024. Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income. Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one. Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way. ITV viewers shared their thoughts on the unique side hustle in the comments section. "All fun and games until someone does voodoo on you!" joked one person. "This world has gone absolutely insane…" said another YouTube user. "I can't believe what I'm hearing, totally insane. The world's officially gone mad," agreed a third commenter. "Dang it! I just got my pedicure done this morning. Those clippings could have paid for my service!" wrote another viewer.
