WEEK THREE

There are a few good sign-up offers to take advantage of this week that don’t involve having to tie up any of your cash so these

KROO SIGN-UP OFFER

This is one of the easiest offers going at the moment and it won’t be around for long based on how good it is!

Kroo is a new challenger bank that pays a whopping 4.35% on your current account (all the way up to £500k) and has raised millions in its recent finance rounds

On a mission to reach 1 million customers by 2025 they are offering new customers £10 when you open an account and spend any amount on your card if you sign up through my link

This amount is instantly withdrawable & no credit check is carried out

SHARES.IO SIGN-UP OFFER (FREE SHARE)

This offer is almost identical to Trading212 but is slightly less generous, although still a great one to get some extra cash in + try out another investing app

Shares.io is a fully FCA regulated investing app that aims to simplify investing and make it more social as often investing can feel like a lonely thing

With big funds backing the app and advisors from the likes of Revolut, Freetrade and Uber it’s an app that I can’t say a bad word about

A SIDE HUSTLE THAT HAS MADE ME £1,000s

Since late 2023 I have been testing out the best possible options to make money through a side hustle known as “mystery shopping”

Initially this might sound off-putting as you might think there’s a lot of effort involved, however I have scoured all the apps, websites and have made a mini-guide that shows you just how much you can make with very little effort but see an example below (it can be this easy!)

TAP TO READ THE MINI-GUIDE

GET PAID TO SHOP (PART OF ABOVE)

To ease yourself into mystery shopping and micro-tasks I would recommend downloading Roamler and testing out “Rate & Review” tasks

These are SUPER easy tasks if you’re already going shopping or not

Look out for your local supermarket on the app and pick up these when they are available (you have 12 hours to complete them)

All you need to do is:

Check you can review the product(s) on the supermarket website
Take a photo of the outside of the supermarket
Find the product(s) in the store and take a photo of where they are
Buy the product and post a review on the website when you’re home
You will get £2 per item + reimbursed for the food items

You can do this 5x per week (if the tasks are available) which could be £500 per year for barely lifting a finger! (+ all the free products)
