Source: Plymouth Herald
Introduction
With the ongoing cost of living crisis, self-proclaimed 'Savvy Soph' shares effective side hustles that can help individuals earn extra income alongside their full-time jobs. These strategies are particularly beneficial as utility bills are expected to rise further in 2024.
1. Online Surveys
Ease of Use: Surveys are highlighted as a simple way to earn additional money. Recommended platforms include:
- AttaPoll
- Swagbucks
- Qmee
Earnings Potential: Earnings range from £0.10 to £0.50 per survey, allowing users to accumulate £30 to £40 easily, which can contribute to groceries or fuel costs.
2. Mystery Shopping
Engagement Factor: This method is deemed more enjoyable but time-intensive compared to surveys. It allows for shopping experiences while getting paid, with potential rewards including cash and free items.
Examples of Opportunities: Soph mentions experiences with brands such as Victoria's Secret (cash plus a free bra) and NARS Cosmetics (cash plus free foundation). Pay can vary between £10 to £30.
3. User-Generated Content (UGC)
Overview: UGC involves creating videos for brands without the need for a large following. This can be an accessible option for those who can produce quality content.
Tips for Getting Started: Soph recommends researching on platforms like TikTok to learn about UGC and creating a portfolio from products already owned to attract brands.
Conclusion
These side hustles can provide financial relief in challenging times. Soph's strategies not only offer varying degrees of income but also complement daily routines, making them practical for many working individuals.
