Your Flexible Side Hustle in Manchester

The Perfect Side Hustle for Greater Manchester

Looking for flexible extra income in Manchester? Our Hunter programme is ideal for anyone seeking a genuine side hustle with real earning potential. Whether you live in Didsbury, Chorlton, Sale, Altrincham, Hale, Stockport, Salford, or anywhere across Greater Manchester, you can start earning £50 per successful business referral.

No experience needed. No sales pressure. Completely flexible hours. This is the perfect gig for students, parents, part-time workers, or anyone wanting to make extra money in their spare time. Work around your existing commitments - evenings, weekends, or whenever suits you.

It's straightforward: connect local business owners with AroundManchester.com™, arrange an introduction meeting, and get paid when they join the directory. That's it. You're not selling anything - you're simply making valuable connections in your local Manchester community.

What is a Hunter?

Hunters are our network of referral partners who help connect local businesses with AroundManchester.com™ across Greater Manchester and the North West. If you know business owners in your area, you can earn money by introducing them to our directory.

Just get started! You don't need our permission to begin talking to local business owners. Start conversations in your area today – chat with the caf? owner, the barber, the shop keeper. Once they express interest, email us through the contact form and we'll add them to the next local group session.

We organize group sessions in your local area. Instead of individual meetings, we wait until we have several interested businesses in the same neighborhood (e.g., Hale, Didsbury, Chorlton), then invite them all to one group presentation session. You attend, introduce yourself, and pair yourself with each business you brought. After the group session, businesses can ask individual questions if needed. If they sign up, you get paid once their listing goes live. It's that simple – minimal travel, maximum efficiency.

What Types of Businesses Should You Look For?

Focus on businesses in your immediate local area – places you walk past, visit regularly, or know the owners. Here are typical local businesses we're looking for:

Start with businesses you already know. The best referrals come from genuine connections – places you visit, owners you chat with, services you use. You're already part of your local community; now you can earn from those connections.

How It Works

1. Just Get Started

   No application needed to begin! Start talking to local business owners in your immediate area today. Once they express interest, email us through the contact form with their details.

2. We Organize Group Sessions

   We wait until we have several interested businesses in the same local area, then schedule one group presentation session. All businesses attend at the same time in one location. For example: five businesses from Hale all attend together at 7pm for a 20-minute group presentation. This reduces travel time and speeds up onboarding for everyone.

3. Attend the Local Group Session

   You attend the scheduled group session in your local area. This is where you pair yourself with each business you introduced. We handle the group presentation – you're just there to confirm the introductions and provide your payment details if businesses sign up.

4. Individual Follow-Up (If Needed)

   After the group session, any business owner can ask individual questions if needed. We handle these brief one-on-one follow-ups. If they agree to join the directory, we capture your details (name, contact, and bank information). You'll need your National Insurance card and valid Passport or legal ID for verification.

5. Get Paid

   Once the business listing goes live on the directory, your bounty is paid directly to your UK bank account via bank transfer. Simple as that!

Why group sessions? By presenting to multiple businesses at once in the same local area, we minimize travel for everyone, speed up the process, and make it easy for you to attend. You might have 3-5 businesses all in the same room for 20 minutes. Much more efficient than individual appointments spread across different days!

How Much Can You Earn?

Bounty rates:

Regardless of growth phase, all Hunters earn a flat rate of £50 per successful business referral once the business listing goes live on the directory.

• Maximum Payout: £50 per business (flat rate – no additional bonus for second venues or add-ons)
• Payment Method: UK bank transfer only - paid directly to your account
• Payment Timing: Paid once the listing goes live on the directory

Realistic Earning Potential

Important Disclaimer: The following figures are estimates based on realistic performance levels. Actual earnings will vary significantly based on individual effort, local market conditions, business density in your area, and other factors. These are potential earnings only and are not guaranteed.

Our realistic benchmark is 5 referrals per week. Here's what that looks like at different activity levels:

• Starting Out (2 referrals/week): 2 × £50 = £100/week = £430/month
• Realistic Performance (5 referrals/week): 5 × £50 = £250/week = £1,075/month
• High Performer (10 referrals/week): 10 × £50 = £500/week = £2,150/month

This is a genuine income opportunity, not just pocket money. Consistent Hunters hitting realistic rates can earn £1,000+/month. Work as much or as little as you like - it's completely flexible around your schedule, but the more you refer, the more you earn.

Earnings Disclaimer: All earnings figures are estimates based on hypothetical performance scenarios. Your actual earnings may be higher or lower depending on the number of successful referrals you make, local market conditions, business owner response rates, and your individual effort. Past performance or projected earnings do not guarantee future results. You are responsible for your own success as an independent referral partner.
