I have been inspired lately to find how many different ways I am able to make money. I decided to see how much I could make in a week from ‘side hustles’ and answer the question do side hustles make money? This has been really fun and I have actually made around £100 which is amazing. I have to give a shout out to the lovely Reinventing Neesha. Neesha’s posts around money and finance are amazing and I always love trying out her recommendations! what inspired me to start attempting to see how many different ways I could make money by spending very little!

Panelbase
This week conducting surveys I have earnt just over £10 from simply filling out a few surveys. Panelbase send you new surveys everyday and I have made £20 altogether since I have started using the website. It takes very minimal effort filling out the surveys and once you have hit the threshold, you can withdraw your payment as either vouchers or cash.
Numbrs
So do side hustles actually make money? This is a very different way of potentially making a little money. I had never heard of this app before last week. Over on Twitter I have heard so many people talking about this new app called Numbrs. I was intrigued to find out more. Numbrs is a paid subscription app that helps you manage your finances. I have been trying it out for the last week and it is actually a very good app!
So how can you make money from it?
Numbrs offer a daily draw every Friday called Payday where they give away 50,000 euros to those who have successfully referred people to the app. You also get a ticket when you sign up through a referral link. This is an amazing scheme, and it is where you can make yourself some free money.
Last week I signed up for the two-week free trial of the app through Neesha’s referral link. By signing up I received one ticket to the Payday draw and I was lucky enough to earn 10 euros. This week I referred my partner to the draw and we both won! We got 20 euros each in this week draw meaning overall we have won 50 euros without spending a penny yet!
If you chose to sign up for Numbrs using my referral link, and simply select the free trial you will gain a ticket into next week’s Friday draw and be in with a chance to win the top prize of 10,000 euros. You can cancel your free trial at any time. As this is a subscription app, it will take payment automatically. If you decide not to keep the app, so be sure to cancel before your payment date.
You get one free ticket to the draw when you sign up using a referral link. You can then refer your friends and family to gain more tickets. I know what your thinking- where is the catch? Well, there is not one. As with anything, you are not guaranteed to win on the Payday draw however if you do and you have connected your bank account and address, the money is yours and it has not cost you a penny while you are using the free trial!
FreeTrade
This week I have also made money using the Freetrade App! Freetrade is a trading website, and it is perfect for beginners who are not sure how to trade just yet. When you sign up to the app, deposit just £2 and invest in a share, you will receive a free share! Your free share can be valued between £3 and £200! You can read more here around how the website works and how to sign up. You get a free share when signing up and you will then receive a free share for every friend/family member you refer to the app.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate Marketing is definitely a work in progress, but I am starting to make a few sales through my affiliate links, and this is a side hustle I want to utilise in the future. I have learnt everything I know from Kayleigh’s eBook, A Beginners Guide to Affiliate Sales. It is incredible for beginners in affiliate marketing and has helped me make over fifty affiliate sales in the last few months. I have mostly made a few sales through my hosting affiliate link.
My website is hosted on Lyrical Host, and I am a proud affiliate for them. You can get 10% off your first hosting plan payment with my code RACHTALKS10. I have referred quite a few people to Lyrical Host recently and this week I have referred one person giving me an affiliate commission of £15!
So can side hustles make money? Absolutely! I am loving looking into different ways to make money and taking the time to monetise various platforms. If you use any of my referral links, please let me know it means a lot. I will only recommend websites that I love and trust. Hopefully, these websites can help you make some money too!

Hi Rach,
Interesting stuff – after all, who doesn’t want to earn a little more money? 😉
What does the Numbrs service actually provide? That is, in what way does it help you to manage your finances?
Thanks for the Freetrade details – I must think of some people to refer (there are some friends and family who are still stuck in the Stone Age so it would be excruciatingly painful trying to explain it to them!)
How are you finding the Affiliate Marketing aspect? Are you going to do the Amazon Associates programme?
So Numbrs you can input all your banks and then all your finances are in one place. It tells you how much your saving each month and basically tips to save more. I’m really enjoying it! Give it a little search on Google to find out more. But yes the Payday raffle is amazing and a really good little way to make some money through referrals!
Yes! Hopefully you can find some referrals, you can receive a share up to £200 for free through it so fingers crossed for you!
I haven’t ventured into Amazon just yet I’m hoping to grow my blog further first☺️ I do mostly my hosting affiliate links and then I affiliate for some blog products I love!
Thank you for reading!☺️
I’ve been seeing people talk about Numbrs but I didn’t know what it was. That’s awesome they do the draws & you & your partner won money!
It’s amazing honestly I can’t believe how much you can win from it! It is such a cool concept and the app itself is actually very handy in keeping your finances in check!
Thank you for reading!💛
This was such a great post! You did well in just a week! I love following Neesha’s account too! I already tried Numbers and FreeTrade so going to check out Panel Base too! x
How was Numbrs for you? Yes panelbase is amazing for a little money, just need to stick at it! Thanks for reading! x
I’ve made such a good amount of money with Numbers in only 3 weeks! Free trade has been a really good one for me too x
I’ve seen you’ve had some amazing wins Kay, congratulations! Hopefully it continues!
And yes I am loving Freetrade, need to start reading up on what companies to invest in though, I’m struggling with that side of it! Thanks for reading!☺️
I love Numbrs! It’s my favourite haha. I need to try panel base though! I’m on the lookout for more survey sites that actually make some decent money and not just pennies.
I have signed up to Freetrade, but I always forget to refer people to it! I have tried signing up to Numbrs but it says my bank account is not valid in the draw countries???
Neesha’s posts are brilliant!
One of the biggest things us bloggers want to know, is how to make money from our sites! This is such a good post! I wish I could have read this before I started blogging seriously. Thanks for the info!

Interesting post. I’m reading soo much about the payday app! I need to get back into aff marketing but it’s changed so much since I dipped my toe in a few years ago!

Great post! I think there’s definitely money to be made from side hustles, and I can’t wait to see how much I can earn from my blog and writing in the next year x
All these you mention are great! I never had the time and energy to look into earning money that way but as I read it definitely pays back.
Will look into it seriously!
Thank tou for sharing
Love this post! I’ll definitely be trying out Freetrade. I’ve always been a bit scared of trading but I’ve seen so many people have good results! I tried Numbrs last week and won 20 euros, it was great! I used to do some surveys but never really made any money, but Panelbase sounds great!
Great post! I can’t believe how much you managed to make just from side hustles! I’ll definitely be looking into panelbase as well as affiliate programs once I’ve built up my following a bit more. Thanks for sharing x
I always enjoy reading your posts 🙂 I’ve been using Prolific for a few months now and I’ve made a nice bit of side hustle cash! I’ve heard a lot about Numbrs and Freetrade lately – I don’t think I’m going to venture into that at the moment but it does sound great x
