I dreamed of being a doctor growing up but now I make £5k a WEEK selling my toenail clippings & bed sheets to strangers
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."

"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.
