With that in mind, we’ve come up with a list of side hustles to try to help bring in some much-needed cash.
Some of them take no time to set-up, while others require a few hours of spare time and others a specific skill.
Have a look. Could you do any of these?

9. Create some NFT artwork

10. Write an e-book
If you've got a decent yarn or two in you, it's easy to produce your own e-book and sell it on Amazon. All you need is a little imagination and they'll do the rest. Visit kdp.amazon.com Photo: pb
11. Design your own t-shirts
If you've got an eye for design, why not make your own t-shirts. Redbubble, Etsy and Facebook Marketplace are just a few of the websites that will sell your designs for free. Spend a few quid on promotion and you never know! You can even design your gear online on websites like canva.com Photo: pb
12. Be a rent-a-pal
Believe it or not, you can rent yourself out as a friend to someone in need of a pal. The coronavirus pandemic saw websites popping up here, there and everywhere to help people cut off from the world connect, albeit online. Now with restrictions lifted the popularity of being a rent-a-pal, now in person, continues. Have a look at rentafriend.com Photo: pb
