The Christmas holidays bring extra financial pressures so it is worth thinking about ways you could earn a little more money. Christmas is traditionally a busy season for us all bit if you are prepared to give it some thought there are lots of ways you can earn extra money at Christmas.
Consider a part time job in a local store or pub or cafe as they will be extra busy in the Christmas season. If you live near a college this is even more relevant as students who normally work in the cafes, shops and bars will return home for Christmas.So if you look for local temporary work you will be amazed by what is available coming up to Christmas.
Another way to earn extra money for Christmas is very obvious and will not be liked by all but stay in when you would normally go out, and even better work and be paid when you would normally go out, thereby both earning and saving at the same time. Why not think about a babysitting service or creche on New Years Eve? You can charge a premium rate, and you will be earning money when you would normally be spending it.
There is also huge potential to help out with Christmas deliveries in a number of areas - from Christmas cards to shopping. How do people without transport get their Christmas tree home? What about setting up a delivery service. Or what about delivering Christmas cards locally? There are a great many opportunities delivering items at Christmas.
{External light displays are very popular these days}. If you have a head for heights and are electrically inclined you could offer a design, installation and deinstallation service?.
You could make Christmas cards and sell them to your friends or save money by sending them. You could extend this to any sort of Christmas craft such as cake making, candles, gift baskets, mince pies
Finally, why not go online and setup a niche store selling Christmas gifts, goods, decorations from eBay or Amazon. The idea is that you refer a customer to Amazon or eBay through your niche store and you get a commision on the sale.No need to carry stock or worry about order processing. This is all done for you. You can see an example of such a store at tips for celebrating christmas and read my review of the site building process behind it at successful work at home career
