Ella has been gaining valuable experience and earning some extra money through Paperound, a website that links up businesses with students, who complete tasks such as market research or content creation. Ella told marketing group Student Beans: ”When I came across Paperound, I wanted to gain some industry experience with design work and I could see it was going to be an easy way to make money alongside my degree.
“However, now I have upped my price to £15 an hour and throughout holiday periods I can take on more, this week I will have earned around £300.”
More than a fifth of this age group – sometimes known as ‘zoomers’ – need to earn more than £300 a month for their extra job to be worth it.

Strangely, the side hustle with the biggest opportunity to make some cash in 2022 is selling slime, as it’s cheap to make and is sold on average for £8.55 per unit.
