Families are using technology to save and even earn money during the cost of living crisis by selling holiday pictures, hiring out their driveway and loaning their dogs. Half (49%) of UK households now admit to using creative ways to earn more, with the average household generating an extra £910 a year, thanks to their side hustles, according to EE research.
This includes using tech to sell pictures such as sunsets or pretty views from your smartphone to be used as stock images online (6%), getting paid to reach online game milestones (10%) or becoming a part-time tour guide in your local town or city (6%).
The most popular ‘Techonomic’ hacks are reviewing TV shows (16%) and doing market research for brands (14%).
