I’m a stay at home mum and do my side hustle while my kids are in bed – I make £400 by only working an hour a day
A STAY-AT-HOME mum has revealed a simple side hustle that she does while her kids are in bed.
Amy Dazzo said that she only does an hour's work at her side hustle every day, so that it doesn't have an impact on her daily life.
In a TikTok video, Amy shared that to make the experience enjoyable, she pours herself a glass of her favourite drink, and hangs out with her favourite co-worker, her dog.
Amy explained that her side hustle is data annotation, which is the process of labelling data to show the outcome you want your machine learning model to predict.
Many people do data annotation to earn a big of extra cash and you can earn around £15 an hour for the task.
Amy said that she often finishes her shift working from bed, meaning that she is able to be comfy and relaxed whilst making cash.

The mum added that she started to get work a few weeks after signing up.
Are you taxed on a side hustle?
Plenty of households are taking on side hustles such as babysitting or setting up an eBay store to boost their earnings.
And luckily, you can use a "trading allowance" which means you don't have to pay tax on any yearly gross income of £1,000 or less.
However, if you do earn over the £1,000 threshold, you will have to declare it to HMRC.
You can claim a trading allowance via Self-Assessment on the Government's website.
First you need to inform them you're a sole trader and tell them how much you earn in income, when you started and who you are.
HMRC will then send you a UTR number which you can use to submit a Self-Assessment tax return.
The tax year runs from April 6 to April 5 of the following year, and the deadline to pay is the following January 31
Amy said: " I love that I can do it while the kids are sleeping - I get a big return over time for not much sacrifice".
In a second video, Amy revealed that she made £400 in one month from her easy side hustle.
She added that she made £25 using the Kale app, which pays content creators for promoting brands, and £100 from a survey site.
The mum also made £8 from reviewing Amazon products and £12 on Brandclub, which earns you cash for engaging with brands.
