Income on the side

Philliggi

Hi all. Ive been looking to pay down a loan before march 2025. To do this ive been looking at ways to supplement my income by playing paid to play games, surveys etc, but the returns are miniscule in comparison to the time invested. 

Im looking to increase my side hustles to help me achieve my goals quicker but i dont see any way other than these paid to play/survey sites. Ive tried looking into mse but i must be missing something blindingly obvious. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The Boost Your Income subforum. Prolific Academic is probably the most widely recommended on that forum, but there are others

If you fill out a Statement of Accounts from one of the top stickies on this forum and post it back here there may be some good advice on where savings could be made in your budget.  

Personally I quite agree about the surveys.  I do know someone that makes fairly good money on them but has a unique job/situation so is accepted for the high points surveys.  Best I usually do is spend a couple of minutes to be given 1 point for trying but am told I'm not the person they need.  Did surveys regularly for a few weeks and I think I've got something like £12 ready to be paid out.  

Also have a look on the old fashioned money saving forum - again cutting down expenses rather than earning but it all helps.  Batch cooking, DIY home cleaning stuff etc.

Cheers for that. Ill have a look. 

Im actually in a really good place for paying the debt down. Im probably living as economically as i could realistically be. Cancelled subscriptions, drive the cheap car, use quidco, batch cook... all the usual. 

Everythings in place to pay the debt off, its more just waiting for the wages each month to allocate them towards debt.

I was however just looking to up that income. The soa isnt really applicable to me. I know where all my money goes, its just i need to up the income column.
