Each week the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's the best ways to make extra money, without wasting your time. Hosted by Frances Cook.

Well, it turns out that you guys really want to talk about side hustles.

When we talked about paying off debt using side hustles a few weeks ago, I was inundated with questions about finding more ways to earn extra cash, and which ones were worth the time.

Which is a very good question.

You don't want to invest your time, or even worse your money, into something that only gives you a little bit back.

So today we're maximising your spare time so that you can get the most cash for it, to put towards whatever your goals are.

For the latest podcast I talked to Chris Walsh from MoneyHub.

We talked about how to make the most from digital platforms, which old-fashioned side hustles are still worth doing, and whether you can make much from online surveys.
