Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s a side hustle that could make your hundreds of dollars while only needing a few hours of your time. Hosted by Frances Cook.

Earning some extra money on the side can be useful for all sorts of reasons, but it’s important to make sure it doesn’t soak up all your free time, and that it actually makes you money. 

After all, we don’t want to be working all hours of the day for very little return. 

Well, one New Zealander has found selling items online, usually just using Facebook marketplace, to be very much worth her while. 

She spends about three hours a week listing items, and monitoring her listings. 

For that, she can earn anywhere from a few hundred bucks, to a thousand dollars. 

Not bad if you can get it. 

The best part is, she’s happy to share the secrets to her success with all of us. 

For the latest podcast I talked to lifestyle influencer Sabby Jey.
