With the diverse range of side hustles available today, there's something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance option like affiliate marketing that runs in the background or you want to unleash your creativity and innovation, the possibilities are endless. The only requirement for a side hustle is that it should bring in extra income.
AllDayPA found that over 30% of full-time working Brits have a side hustle, with the majority of side hustlers being from Gen Z. Utility Warehouse found that 47% of people plan to have a side hustle by the end of 2025.
If you're looking for ways to boost your bank balance, these ideas could be exactly what you're looking for.
Refunds
While it's not a job in the strictest sense, it does require time and patience to review all of your financial decisions and activities to find out that all transactions were legitimate for you at that moment in time. This can be a full time task on its own, but these days, there are many ads and services available to help you discover if you have been mis-sold something and are entitled to a refund.
It could be that you were mis-sold a payment protection plan or policy on your financial benefits or decisions on car payment agreements. You might have legitimate PCP & HP claims to make on past car finance agreements; you could have been mis-sold loans, certain bank accounts, credit cards, etc. The list goes on. Taking time to understand what actions are in process for you to make a claim can be laborious. And if you can make a claim, the result can be worth your time and investment.
Driving Jobs
Driving jobs, such as being a delivery driver for services like Evri or food delivery services, can be a great way to utilise your vehicle in your free time. While the income may not be substantial at first, with time and experience, you can increase your delivery times and see a significant growth in your earnings. For those with easy access to a vehicle, a delivery job or other driving jobs, such as Uber driving, can be a lucrative side hustle. For instance, driving for Uber only on weekend nights to local nightlife areas can be a profitable venture without consuming too much of your time outside your full-time job.
VA
VAs are virtual assistants, and they provide a wide range of services. You simply need other skills that others don't have or aren’t efficient in, and can be useful. Things like content creation, website maintenance, administration duties, call handling, social media creation, scheduling and more are all great skills for VAs to have. All you need to do is look at what skills you have and how you can use them to help others and provide a valuable service that people are willing to pay for. Plus, the beauty is that you can work from home and set your own hours, so it works for you and your client.
Pet Hustles
This one means getting your pet out with you and using them for a side hustle, although in some ways, this would be a great idea. Pet social media accounts are taking the world by storm, and pets are the new kid influencers. If you have the right skills and aesthetic, it can be a lucrative money spinner.
Pet-related side hustles, however, involve you offering services to other pet owners. Some of these options might require training, certifications, or registration with your local council, but offering services such as pet sitting, walking, or boarding can help you make money with ease if you are a dog lover or can care for another type of pet. You can create dog accessories, sell pet treats, or offer dog training if you are skilled in this. You can immerse yourself in the pet arena in numerous ways to develop lucrative side hustles.
Tutoring
Tutoring isn't just reserved for teachers, although it's an excellent year for educators to boost their income, too. You can tutor in different areas, such as art, music, or any other area in which you have expertise. Maybe you are fluent in BSL. This is a valuable skill you can use to teach others who need to learn sign language. You can teach English to non-native English speakers; you can tutor people in areas you are skilled in, such as coding, for example, or even certain crafts. It is entirely up to you and your skills.
