If you’ve ever wished for an additional source of income, you’re not alone. Madison, a 27-year-old mum of two from Melbourne, is one of many Australians who have turned to doing side hustles to boost their finances. In the span of a month, she made a staggering $1097.97 income from her side jobs–on top of her income from her regular job!

At a time when expenses across Australia are continuously rising, Madison took it upon herself to find ways to make more money and has been sharing her experience with her blog, Saving Like Mad, to help fellow Australians. In 2020, she claims to have made a total of $19,668.11 from a range of side hustles–and she’s revealed exactly how she does it.

Through completing a range of surveys, market research, blogging, selling things on Etsy, and using money-back apps such as ShopBack and Receipt Jar, Madison has changed how she makes extra money. Image source: Freepik.

She primarily completes surveys through websites like PureProfile, Octopus Group, PurplePatch and Swagbucks and says she can complete this work from the comforts of her own home in just 1.5 hours a day. She added that market research opportunities often come via AttaPoll and PurplePatch. Meanwhile, money-back apps like ShopBack and Receipt Jar, allow users to take a photo of their receipt to earn points redeemable for cash.

I've been looking at both cash back and shop back, so I would be interested to know if any other members have these apps and are they saving. I don't think you can use supermarket shops on it.

I have never heard of receipt jar!

Etsy, that's interesting. I never knew you could sell on there !

Thank you for this interest thread

My Daughter got involved in one these hustles and it ended up costing her hundreds of dollars to get out. I am very sceptical. If you find something legit I would love to know about it

Just remember that any money you make from surveys needs to be included as income to both the ATO and Centrelink. Cashback schemes are a little different because you have made a purchase with your own money and then been reimbursed part of it, so no real difference to having purchased the item on sale.

Why go to all that bother just to make a little over a $1000 , u have to pay tax on so the outcome is not that good , there must be something easier out there to earn money. Just curious.

 

[Mina vriesekolk]

I think it would be easier to pick strawberries or so . These days I see them growing way off the ground , so you don’t need to bend over.
There should be a taxfree threshold, I think about $3000.- a year . I’m not on a pension and I am a tax payer as well .

I don’t mind doing surveys and used to do some regularly a few years ago BUT at that time they used to ask if you wanted to hear from or were interested in learning more about certain charities or businesses obviously associated with them. No matter how many times I clicked “no” I was inundated for the next few weeks with calls from those charities and businesses claiming I’d said I was interested in learning more or donating. Eventually I stopped doing surveys. If it could be guaranteed I wouldn’t receive these calls again then I agree I would do certain surveys again. Maybe things have changed over the last few years but not sure if I want to test the theory.

Suzanne, my daughter has her own Etsy shop. She makes hand carved timber Harry Potter wands. On Etsy you can only sell things handmade by yourself, or vintage items.

Do you not realise that to some people that is an enormous amount of extra money per month?

I tried to do the surveys and it is not all its cracked up to be. The first hurdle is finding a survey that requires your age, sex, location etc and that takes time to do. I did it for 4 weeks for about 4 hours a day and made a total of about $5 an hour. Not worth the effort. The cash back as mentioned in the article is not seen by ATO and Centrelink as its classed as an income. Simply because it is seen as a reward for shopping with that company. Therefore it is classed as an income according to ATO. Had been listed as a discount thats ok but its said to be a reward.
There are also some of the survey sites that keep shifting the goalpost as far as how much you earn for each survey. I would class them as scam sites and a couple of the ones on the purple patch list don't pay what they claim. Not sure how she is making that much money because all the people I spoke to diid not continue because it was such a little income.

That is over 12mths I believe.
