Does your sweetie have an obnoxiously long Christmas list? 📜 Y’know, if you don’t get her those Ugg slippers, you’re headed straight for the dog house. No knock-offs, mister. 😏
Need some extra cash to pay for Bougie Betty’s holiday hopes? Here are some ways to earn a little extra Christmas cash. 💰
Here’s Five Fast Facts on how to earn more money for the holiday season:
- 📦 One Man’s Trash - Got a ton of old crap in the attic? Now’s the perfect time to cash it in. Sell your old clothes, electronics, and furniture on Facebook Marketplace. Poshmark is a great app to list old clothing. Live in a busy neighborhood? Try an old-fashioned yard sale. Pro tip: upsell some hot cider and homemade cookies.
- 🐾 Doggie Day Care - If you’re an animal lover, why not do a little pet sitting? This time of year, people with travel plans may have to leave Fido at home. Use an app like Rover to find gigs or network with locals in your neighborhood. Who knows? You could become a go-to pet sitter for a family while they’re at work or on other trips throughout the year!
- 🚘 Fast Food - ‘Tis the season for holiday gatherings and dinner parties. Last minute shoppers rely on grocery delivery to get those must-have items. Sign up for Uber Eats or Instacart and pick up extra gigs in your downtime. How much you earn will depend on time of day, how far you’ll drive, etc.
- 📷 Say Cheese - Are you good with a camera? Do you dabble in arts and crafts? Turn those hobbies into some extra cash! Offer photography services for local families for their annual holiday greeting cards. Sell your homemade gifts on Etsy. You can also look up holiday flea markets and craft fairs in your area. Snag a booth to peddle your goodies!
- 🎅 Santa, Baby - If you’ve got a white beard, secure that bag, king. Did you know that the average mall Santa can make up to $24 an hour? Depending on where they work and the number of shifts they pick up, Santa impersonators can rake in anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000. Word at the North Pole is that high-end Santas can make a whopping $150K! Now that’s one fat sack.
