My Top 5 Ways to Earn a Little More!

Posted by Kristin Lamb on

I think everyone can agree that the cost of everything is going up!  Over the last year, I have have done a lot of research into various side hustles to help earn a little extra - whether that is in cash or vouchers - all from your phone! Here are my top 5: 

1. Cashback Apps

  • Airtime Rewards: https://airtimerewards.app.link/ZTcQuf3lYsb
    Link your debit/credit cards (FCA approved) and gain cashback that you can use as credit towards your mobile phone bill!  It works with lots of retailers including Boots, Greggs, Argos, New Look, Wagamama and loads more! Once your cards are linked, the money will track automatically.  So far, since December 2021, I've earned £127.58 off my mobile phone bill! Sign up via the link above for £1.50! 
  • Daali: https://refer.mydaali.com/3TAaS5pvJAnQsfyU7
    This works similarly to Airtime Rewards (FCA approved) - link your debit/credit cards and gain points for spending at retailers such as Primark, Tesco, Amazon, Costa, Uber, McDonalds, H&M, Morrisons and KFC.  Once you reach 3,000 you can exchange for various different vouchers (I usually go for Amazon!).  You can earn coins from daily spins and referrals too! So far, I've cashed out £130 in vouchers!  Download the app and enter code vUG8m for 200 points!

  • Quidco: https://app.quidco.com/raf/XqKB
    Download the app and check out all the cashback offers! They change quite a lot, but if you're buying anything online, it's good to check this app first as you could earn between 1% - 10%+ cashback just for going to the retailer website through this app! I've only just started using Cashback Apps, but have made just under £10 with this one so far. Sign up with the link above!

  • Topcashback: https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/KrisLamb88
    Exactly the same as Quidco, but with different offers! Best to check both apps before buying to see which has the better % rate of cashback! I've only just started using Cashback Apps, but have made almost £60 with this one so far. Sign up with the link above!

2. Survey Apps

I'm not going to lie, you're not going to make millions with these!  I tend to only do the high paying surveys and leave the ones that are offering pennies.  They are good to do when you have some spare time, such as waiting on appointments or travelling on public transport.  My favourites are MSR (get paid in vouchers once you reach £10), Streetbees (get paid cash for each survey into your PayPal account) and QMEE which you can cash out to PayPal at any amount.  I have been using these apps from almost a year and have made almost £200 in cash and £140 in Amazon VouchersSign up with the below links for free rewards!

3. Receipt Scanning Apps

Probably one of the easiest ways to make some extra pennies/vouchers! Simply take a photo of your receipt, upload to the app to get points - you can cash out to PayPal or an Amazon Voucher when you reach £5. I have been using these for around a year and have made £90 in Amazon Vouchers and £35 in cashDownload the below apps and register to start earning!

  • Shoppix
  • Amazon Shopper Panel
  • HuYu
  • Snap My Eats

4. Get Paid for Walking!

  • Sweatcoin: https://sweatco.in/i/kristin326804
    earn up to 10 sweatcoins a day just for walking, tracks automatically so you don't need to do anything! This month, they are launching a Cryptocurrency, and will be exchanging all sweatcoins made in to that once it's live! Sign up with the link above for 5 Sweatcoins!
  • Biscuit: https://biscuitpetcare.com
    Got a dog? Complete the recommended activity with your dog each day to earn "biscuits" and exchange these "biscuits" for vouchers! Sign up with the link above!
  • Weward: https://weward.page.link/invite
    Similar to Sweatcoin but you need to convert your steps to "WeWards" at the end of each day.  Exchange these for cash or vouchers. Sign up with the link above for 300 WeWards (enter code M+N+-kC+FB)

5. Become a Brand Ambassador:

  • Unicorn Sweet Boxes:
    Do you love sweets? How about getting paid to promote them on social media?  We are currently looking for Brand Ambassadors to join us in return for commission on all sales through your unique discount code (AND you'll get 20% off our website for yourself too!) If you're interested, email us with the subject line "BRAND AMBASSADOR" for more information: sales@unicornsweetboxes.co.uk
