However, side-hustler Emily has a rather more unique way of making money.
Taking to TikTok, where she is known as @luxebellaxx, Emily shared a clip of herself placing a used hairbrush into a parcel, alongside a pink note.
"Selling random things men request from me because in the past three months I've made £6.3k doing it", she said.
"It's too easy".

In another video, the 24-year-old can be seen packaging up a lump of her own hair send to a random man.
"Thankful for them for funding my move across the country", she said of the mystery men.
Emily revealed that she makes her money from a site called allthingsworn, where users can buy and sell used pants, worn socks and more.
Her video has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has racked up over 2.8 million views on the video sharing platform.

TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: "People don't realise the weird things people want!
I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy
"I've had someone ask me for my bath water and vacuum lint."
A second person said: "How do I get started?"

And Emily isn't the only one making money from selling random items to men.

"Hope they smell as good as they looked on my head", she said, adding a lipstick kiss to the card.
Lateisha then showed a screenshot of her bank account, revealing that the man had deposited £800 in her account for the braids.
