To ask for your best side hustles?

255 replies

I’m 21 and working 40 hours per week in hospitality. As you can imagine this isn’t exactly bringing in mega money. I live in a flat-share and the bank of mum and dad is shut. Overall I’m just about covering my expenses but I want to make a bit of extra money on the side. So Aibu to ask for your side hustles, second job ideas, ways of making money online etc?

Do you have any skills? (I don’t mean that to be rude) could you tutor? Going rate about £25 per hr, if you picked up 4 students it’s £100 a week or £400 a month?

my friend has an office job and works (cash in hand as a delivery driver on the weekends) ends up with about £80 a night so £160 extra week cash in hand or about £600 a month but they work 5pm til midnight those extra days.

What are your qualifications and skills?

Study part-time towards a qualification towards a higher-paying job. Taking the long view, that's going to be much more rewarding than doing a bunch of surveys.

The most popular one is online surveys but honestly you only earn pennies.
Someone will come along and say match betting I’m sure as as someone who does it, yes it does bring in money but it’s not easy at the start, requires a start up fund, and not as lucrative as it use to be.

Your best bet is to try and cut down your expenditures instead, or look for a higher paying job.

Sadly there is no quick easy (legal) way to make money or everybody would do it!
