Ipsos Mystery Shopping – How To Get Paid To Order Booze
If you are aged 18-23 11 months, live in the UK and have a place where you can receive parcels – this is the side hustle for you! I’ve literally made hundreds in profit and got a tonne of free alcohol from ipsos mystery shopping using their site iShopForIpsos over the past year. Not bad considering I’ve spent most of the last year abroad and couldn’t do it regularly. Massive shoutout to @thesolosaver on instagram who sent this opportunity my way last year! What is this magical opportunity you are talking about? iShopForIpsos is a mystery shopping site that among other tasks, is currently offering at home mystery shops for…

OhMyDosh: The Site That Will Pay You To Play Bingo
Disclaimer: This post talks about gambling. Please proceed with caution!!! The post may also contain referral and/or affiliate links which means I may received commission if you follow the links. I found OhMyDosh nearly 4 years ago and have dabbled on there a few times over the years, usually logging in to make sure I’m not missing out on cashback before I do something. And this time was no different. Casino offers and free spins are something I’ve heard a lot about but never looked into properly. I always dismissed them as something I would forget to do and it wouldn’t be worth it anyway. But then people were sharing…

5 Weird (& Wonderful) Things I’ve Done For Money
Now I won’t go so far as to say I’d do anything for money but my limit is quiet high. One of my friends recently told me that when her mum was asking what I was up to now, she replied with “erm I’m not actually 100% sure, but if it makes money, Jess is doing it”. Pretty accurate. I have jumped on some very random money making opportunities that have come my way over the past couple of years. And today I’m sharing my top five with you! Now, most of my side hustle experiences have been typical – the boring surveys, getting a second (& third) job, starting…

£10k Side Hustle Challenge – Month 1 Update
In 2024, I am embarking on a 10k Side Hustle Challenge. Ten grand. Even writing that down seems INSANE! But I’m very optimistic that I will smash this goal! My last side hustle challenge was to make £5,000 by the end of my gap year to match my spending budget. I had initially thought it would take the whole year to achieve but incredibly I smashed that goal in 7 1/2 months. That means the goal I set was too easy so I’m doubling it. The Rules This year I will have two main sources of income, my summer job and my winter job. And as this is a side hustle challenge…

I Entered 2000+ Competitions… But Did I Actually Win Anything?
Towards the end of 2022, it felt like everyone and their dog was winning thousands of amazing prizes through comping. From actual thousands in cold hard cash to holidays in the Maldives, these wins were all over my instagram feed and I thought “that’s gonna be me next year”. To the point that I made “enter 10,000 comps” a 2023 goal and added a picture of an over-water villa in the Maldives to my vision board. I was going to win a bunch of incredible prizes and then be the one posting on instagram about the cool wins. Well, that’s not exactly how it went. What is comping? Comping is…

3 Side Hustles I Want To Focus On in 2024
Testing out new side hustles have become one of my biggest passions. I absolutely love finding the weird and wonderful ways to make money – whether that’s online, in person or a mix of both. This hobby of mine led to me ending 2023 with 20 different income streams, none of which are fully sustainable or predictable. So in 2024 I want to narrow my attention a little bit and focus on a few side hustles that I can either see becoming a sustainable income stream or something I’ve been putting off. Now this doesn’t mean that I’ll be ditching all the other side hustles I have, just that I…

How I’m Making £2000 in “Free” Money This Year
I love finding weird and wonderful ways to make money. And one of my favourite ways to boost my income without much effort or time is through free money or as it’s more commonly known interest. Whether that’s bank interest, LISA gov bonuses or sign up offers they all come under my umbrella of interest. And if my projections are correct I will make over two thousand pounds from this income stream alone in 2024. Two thousand pounds – an insane amount for someone who started out on £5 per hour washing dishes. How am I planning on making this much? Let’s dig into my plan… LISA BONUS I’m obsessed…

Daily Draws To Enter For Free Instead Of Buying Lottery Tickets
I was one of those kids who dreamt that one day my parents would come home and tell us we won the lottery and were going on holiday the next day. Then I grew up and realised how unlikely winning the lottery actually is and what a sheer waste of money it is. You are so much better off investing the money you would have used to buy a ticket in the market each week. Let’s do the maths. Google says a EuroMillions ticket is £2.50 and there are two draws a week so £5 to play both. If you invested that £5 per week or £260 a year and…

10 Things To Do To Make Money From Answering Surveys
Answering surveys for a little bit of extra cash each month is something I have been doing since 2020. I always call this hustle the ultimate marmite hustle as people either hate it with a passion or love it. I’m firmly in the love camp only because I have had moderate success with it over the years (see exactly how much I’ve made here) and it was my first online side hustle. Now I will admit there are some scammy survey sites out there that just want to collect your data but there are a few good ones which you can make decent money off. It’s been nearly 4 years…
