She said, “There are three ways to make some extra money outside your 9-5. I was unemployed from January through March, and these three things saved my life.”

“I’ve continued to do these things; now I have a job again and it’s just a great way to get that little bit of extra income.”

In the clip, the savvy woman shared the exact side hustles she used to keep her busy and make extra money while working from home.

Surveys

The first side issue she recommended was the use of surveys.

Although they often cost less money than other side hustles, you can easily do them at home while watching TV and the pounds will pile up quickly.

Sophie suggested some of her favorite survey websites including AttaPoll, Swagbucks and Qmee.

While it may not be a lot of cash, Sophie said it could easily pay for a week’s worth of groceries or gas.

Mystery shopper

If you’ve ever worked in retail, you know the fear of expecting a mystery shopper, but it can be quite a lucrative thing to do.

Sophie says it may take more time, but it’s definitely worth it.

The side-hustle whiz used two sites to find jobs: Serve First and ProInsight, which connect you with jobs in your area.

Pay varies, but she said you can always pick up some free treats while you shop.

She added: “I did one for Victoria’s Secret, where I got paid and a free bra; I did one for NARS, where I got paid and a free foundation.”

Online content

Last but not least, Sophie started creating UGC (user-generated content) for brands.

She said she found the side job using TikTok to find brands that needed people to create content for them.

  • Crowdology
  • Curious cat

“The brand will say what they want from you, whether they want you in the video, or they want you out of the video, or they just want you to take pictures of the product,” she explained.

“I started with this, but I just searched TikTok on how to do UGC and from there I made a portfolio. I filmed some random videos of products I already had at home”

The clip was posted to her TikTok account @smart has since gone viral with over 235,000 views and 5,800 likes.

People quickly responded to the comments asking for more information about the side issues.

One person wrote: “How does Mystery Shopping work with taxes if you have a full-time job?”

“If you earn more than £1,000 a year from a particular part-time job, you must file your own tax return!” Sophie replied.

Another commented: “Great tips!”

“I tried the first survey (AttaPoll) but the questions EVER kept going and the reward offered was about £1,” wrote a third.

Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Can you please share the survey and mystery shopping links?”

Someone else added: “Can I please have the mystery shopping link too?”
