2020 is well under way, and if you are looking for some of the best ways to make money this year then I have you covered. Here is how to make money in 2020.
There are plenty of ways to make money online, and if you are looking for how to make money in 2020 then you are sure to find something that will work for you. Here are some of my top money making methods for 2020.
Matched betting
Matched betting is still my number one side hustle. It is a tax-free way to utilise bookmaker offers to turn a profit, and I have been doing it for a good few years now.
Despite the name, matched betting is not gambling, but rather is a way to make some serious guaranteed profit by utilising the free bet offers that bookmakers offer. Even The Guardian have written about matched betting. I earned £12,000 completely tax free within my first 12 months of matched betting, and I continue to earn money every month.
You can see all my previous matched betting income below. Please note that from January 2017 I have been focusing on growing my business with a provable income, with a lot less time to dedicate to matched betting:
- Month 1 earnings – £1,430
- Month 2 earnings – £1,619
- Month 3 earnings (including a Q&A) – £849

Start a blog
Blogging is a hobby that many people have been able to monetise, sometimes being able to leave their full time job to blog (that’s what I did!). Blogging is great, whether you want to write about something you are passionate about as a hobby, or you are looking to make some extra money. Some bloggers are making serious cash from their blogs. Check out how bloggers make their money to find out exactly how bloggers earn money.
If all of this sounds good and you aren’t put off by hard work (this stuff doesn’t happen overnight) then you might want to consider making your own blog and seeing how you can successfully monetise it. There are 5 steps to earning money from blogging:
- Decide what to blog about
- Build your blog – here’s how to start a blog
- Create useful, awesome and amazing content
- Get visitors to your blog
- Start monetising your blog
Reselling on eBay and Amazon
If you have an eye for a bargain and love scouring charity shops and car boot sales then reselling might be the perfect side hustle for you.
Reselling, or flipping, is where you purchase an item and resell it for a profit. We are focusing on selling on eBay or Amazon. eBay sellers who are reselling items need to be registered as a business in order to comply with eBay's terms and conditions, and you need to register with HMRC and declare your extra income.
Mystery shopping
Mystery shopping is a tool used by companies to evaluate their quality of service. Imagine a store knowing that a regional manager would be visiting the store – the store would be on “best behaviour” and the manager wouldn’t know where the store is failing and where they are excelling. So companies employ outside mystery shopping agencies to recruit mystery shoppers to carry out assignments. These shoppers will act like a normal customer and look at certain aspects of the service they receive. The shopper then completes a report after the assignment and receives a payment for doing so. Mystery shopping is a great way to not only boost your bank balance, but a way to enjoy meals out at restaurants completely free!
