Online reporting: Just because the competition has beaten you to it, it doesn’t mean the story is dead. You can be last with the story and still add more to it and even end up with all the traffic. Tipster: John Thompson

Freelancing: Most of the time you will be paid in full without deductions. Make a habit of putting aside 25 per cent of that income into a savings account. This will give you a financial buffer in case of sickness and should cover your tax bill with some left over at the end of the year. Tipster: John Thompson
