Christmas Side Gigs

If you’re looking to make extra money, Christmas is the perfect time to do it!

Many people are looking for products and services during the holiday season, and you could use the opportunity to make yourself some extra money! Here are 3 ideas that you could use to generate some extra income this Christmas.

One. Sell handmade gifts or custom products. If you’re into arts and crafts or making handmade items, this could be the perfect time for you to start selling them! People are always looking for personalized, one of a kind gifts during the season and you have the opportunity to make some money if you start to sell your special items.

Two. If everyone asks you to help decorate, you could start selling that service! Lots of people want to decorate their houses for events or simply just to celebrate the season and they’re unsure how to start. Whether you want to do a full service decoration where you get the materials and decorations, or you use what they have on hand, the options are there!

Three. Catering or cooking services are usually in high demand during this time. If you’re a great baker or you make the best Christmas ham in your family, you could be sitting on a very lucrative business. Get that food handler’s permit and turn your skills into a thriving holiday business.

The best part about trying a new gig in the holiday season is that you might discover a passion for a year round business. And remember when everyone is looking to buy, you need to have something to sell!
