Side Hustles, Savings & Deals.

This Week's Roundup.

Hope you’ve had a good week and managed a tiny win or two. I’ve been testing a few new tools and apps that can make your money life easier, especially if you run a side hustle or small business.

THIS WEEK'S TOP DEALS


Top Tool of the Week: ANNA Money (Perfect for Making Tax Digital)


If you earn any money outside your main job - freelancing, selling on Vinted, content creation, tutoring, dog walking- you now need to keep digital records because Making Tax Digital is officially in effect.

​
​

That means:

• No more paper receipts

• No more messy spreadsheets

• HMRC wants everything logged digitally​
​

This is why I’ve been trying ANNA Money, and honestly… It’s a lifesaver.

Why I’m recommending it:
​

• Helps you stay compliant with Making Tax Digital

• Automatically sorts your income + expenses

• Lets you create invoices in seconds

• Sends reminders for tax deadlines

• Free to sign up

• Perfect for side hustlers, freelancers, and small businesses

If you’re not using cashback apps, you’re leaving free money on the table.

• Instant cashback

• Works in-store and online

• Great for supermarkets, petrol, restaurants, and everyday spending

• Often has boosted rates on weekends

Tip: Buy a gift card right before you pay. It takes seconds, and the cashback lands instantly.

SIDE HUSTLES I'M LOVING RIGHT NOW

  • ​User Interviews. Got an opinion? Get paid £30-£100+ per session to share it with brands and researchers. Flexible and worth the sign-up. Ive just made a reel all about User Interviews over on my Insta if you want to take a look!
  • ​Respondent. Another platform that you can apply for studies and get paid for your opinion.
  • UserTesting - pays for giving feedback on websites/apps

These are great for topping up your income without committing to long hours.
