Hey, I’m Laurel — welcome to Earned While Busy!
I work full-time in retail with a schedule that’s never the same two weeks in a row. I started this blog to share real ways I make a little extra money on the side. No get-rich-quick hype, no scams, no nonsense.
I test small apps, receipt tricks, surveys, and other easy ways to earn tiny cash while juggling a busy life. My goal is to chip away at debt (and save up for big things, like a new roof) without needing a second job that eats up my free time.
If you’ve got a full plate too, work, family, bills, and you want to squeeze out a few extra dollars here and there, you’re in the right place.
Here, you’ll always get my honest take: what works, what doesn’t, and how much I’ve actually made. If I find something good, you’ll see it here first. If it’s a waste of time, I’ll tell you that too.
Stick around if you want real side hustle tips for real life — from someone earning while busy, just like you.
