Five money-making side hustles to increase your income in tough times
EVER thought of ways to bring in extra cash and boost the household coffers?
Google searches for “how to make money” have skyrocketed recently.
Try these suggestions to increase income this month.
STEER CLEAR OF COSTS: Parking spaces are always in high demand, especially if you live near a commuter railway station.
Try justpark.com or parklet.co.uk to find out if your driveway can earn you some cash.
You could also rent it out when you are going away, as a temporary way to bring in a little extra.
ON LOCATION: Consider making your home available as a filming location.
Many production companies are looking for everyday homes and rooms to use for their film or TV projects.
The opportunity can be a nice little earner, with some people making more than £1,000 a day.
Check out peerspace.com to find out if you could list your property.
SPACE MISSION: If you have an unused room, loft or garage, you may be able to rent it out for storage.
It could be a small business looking for a place to keep stock, or someone who needs to stash their furniture between property moves.
Head to stashbee.com/hosting to see if you could become a storage host.
SETS APPEAL: Magazine publications and influencers are often looking for new venues to use for photoshoots, especially if you have a quirky interior.
Find out more about the current properties listed at scouty.com, amazingspace.co.uk or localityonline.com to see if your home could fit the bill.
HOME HELPER: Make money by renting out your household items and gadgets when you are not using them.
Check out fatllama.com to list some of your personal equipment.
This can include items such as vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers or carpet cleaners.
