About



Welcome!

Welcome to my website! I’ve been making videos over on YouTube since December 2020 – and it has been requested quite a bit that I make a website with guides of my videos, so if you ever need to quickly remember something I said you can just come over here have a quick search – saves you watching the whole video!

I’ve constantly been searching online for a way to make money. There are thousands of people on YouTube who promise you that you just need to either dropship this one product or set up one affiliate marketing store and then BOOM! You’re rich! These had me fooled for longer than I want to admit. So with that I decided I wanted to keep note of all the different ways I was trying – the easiest way to keep track? Make videos.

FirstHandFinances was then born – and if you’ve found your way here without watching any of my videos then please be sure to click the link over on the left <- and subscribe, it really will help me grow 🙂

Upload Schedule


My videos over there are really simple to follow – I go into everything I do as a beginner. Showing you either how easy it is to make money that way, or I show you why it might be best to give that method a miss. I have a simple upload schedule I’ll post that below, and keep it upto date if any changes occur:

  • Mondays 18:30 GMT – Video trying out a money making site – such as UserTesting (Any recommendations for sites to try are always welcome!)

  • Wednesdays 18:30 GMT – Sorare – These are my favorite videos to do, I’d definitely recommend watching my introduction to Sorare if you haven’t already!

  • Fridays 18:30 GMT – Betfair Trading – This can be football, horse racing, tennis, any form of Betfair trading – these are some good fun too!

Monthly Finance


Something else I do on the channel is monthly finance updates. You’ll see YouTubers these days say “This here will make you 50k a month!” – but then they’re not doing it every month. There is no transparency with how much they earn or where their money comes from.

So over here we do things differently. Every month I take you through exactly how much I earned the month before. Showing you how that has changed from the previous month.

Here’s a picture from the spreadsheet I use! (I’ll be making all the spreadsheets I use available on this site a bit later on. So keep your eyes pealed!)



That’s pretty much all there is to it! If you’re interested in giving me some video ideas then please either comment here or comment on a video of mine. I read them all! If you’re interested in me promoting your website I’m always up for that as long as it’s something I think my viewers will enjoy so please just get in touch!

Thank you all for stopping by – enjoy having a browse around!
