    2024 is the year that I will begin taking blogging seriously and finally make something of it! I really enjoy the process, making content and connecting with people.

    5 Golden Rules To Follow To Get Market Research Projects

    February 25, 2024 /

    Market research is one of the best paying online side hustles around. You can actually get paid hundreds just to share your opinion or test a project. I was once paid £150 to test a bunch of cheese – amazing right. But it can seem very tedious to actually land projects. So I thought I’d share five golden rules of market research from my few years of experience trying to land projects… Apply Apply Apply The more projects you apply for the more chances you have of actually landing some. Make sure to join as many different market research platforms as possible and apply to all the projects that you…

    10 Things To Do To Make Money From Answering Surveys

    January 24, 2024 /

    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…

    Daily Polls: Can You Actually Make Money From Them?

    January 24, 2024 /

    Do you like answering random questions? Seeing what everyone else voted for? Well answering daily polls is the side hustle for you! And it’s as simple as it sounds – you can get paid to answer daily polls! They’re a handful of survey sites that have a daily poll which is a guaranteed way to earn a point or two each and every day. You know what they say, the points soon add up. Now obviously this will in no way make you rich BUT it could pay for a couple coffees throughout the year from very minimal effort and it literally takes a minute. Disclaimer – this post contains…

    How I Made £16,446 from Side Hustles

    There is only so much you can reduce and cut from your budget! Eventually you will reach a certain point where to save more you need to make more. Entering the side hustle!! What is a side hustle? There are many different definitions out there but I class a “side hustle” as anything I do to make money beyond my primary source of income. Currently, my primary source of income is my student maintenance loan, paid to me by the UK government to cover all living costs. I started on my side hustle journey exactly 2 years ago, which was just after I had been made redundant from my job…
