Ep. 6 - Best Side Hustles to try in 2026
Episode notes
In this episode, we share our real experiences with side hustles we’ve tried in the UK, including Amazon Flex, Evri, Etsy, online tutoring, and other ways we’ve earned extra income alongside self-employment.
We break down:
* How much time each side hustle realistically took
* How flexible (or restrictive) it was
* What actually worked for us and what didn’t
* Whether we’d recommend trying it based on real life, not internet hype
If you’re in the UK and:
* looking for side hustles that actually pay
* trying to earn extra income alongside a job
* exploring self-employment or entrepreneurship
* unsure where to start or what’s worth the effort
This episode is made for you.
As always, this is an open, honest conversation — with a few tangents, laughs, and reflections — as we continue documenting our journey through side hustles, self-employment, and building businesses from the ground up.
