Money blogger shares his life tips for easily earning up to £50 an hour

A money blogger has shared his tips on how he earns up to £50 an hour.

Al Baker, 48, said he found himself in financial trouble after his business folded and is now helping others live on less and stretch their finances by sharing his simple money making tips. on his blog The Penny Pincher.

The supermarket worker and entrepreneur, from Hampshire, said one day he came across an advert for JustPark on social media and decided to give it a go.

He says it’s possible to make over £100 every month especially if you live in a city or near a tourist attraction.

He told Express.co.uk : ”If you have a space in a bustling place, such as central London, with costly car parks, or near an airport or tourist attraction, you can earn a lot more than you would if you rented out your space in a suburban location.

“These days, with bills on the rise, every penny counts so that extra money might pay for extra groceries, perhaps a treat, such as a cinema trip, or maybe a few drinks at the local pub, or a takeaway, that otherwise, you may not have been able to afford.”

Al says that he knows not everyone has a parking space and instead he recommends market research as it pays around £50 per hour.

The blogger explains: “There are many ways you can earn a few extra pounds, my favourites are taking part in market research projects, as you could earn up to £50 an hour.

“I’ve also made extra money by working for food delivery companies which currently aren’t as profitable, due to the cost of fuel, but are still profit makers.

“You could take on a lodger, rent out your garden to campers, rent your house out to photographers or film-makers or earn extra cash by picking fruit when in season.

“Or if you have a skill such as graphic design you could offer your services through online platforms such as Fiverr.”

Al also shares tips for saving money such as taking advantage of yellow sticker bargains to save up to 90 per cent on the normal selling price.

He said: “Competition for the bargains is fierce, so they can’t be relied on to always save you money on your groceries, but when you do get some deals, they can save you some money, and by making sure you make good use of what you have found, you can stretch your food budget."
