People always need extra money for the holidays, not
only for gifts, but for trips, hosting or traveling to a holiday event
and to pay bills in the following year, and here are five ways to earn
extra money for the holidays.
Microjob
A microjob is a small job which takes less than ten hours of the week
to complete and can earn any amount of money. Examples of microjobs
include dog walking, tutoring and preparing Power Point slides for
educators and business
people. There really is no limit to the different
types of microjob, and they are idea for earning supplementary income,
though you will have to start early in the year to earn significant sums
at your microjob.
Telework
Telework is work completed out of the office. Some telework is
outsourced work, such as hiring a temporary medical coder to complete a
backlog of medical records for a physician’s office. Other telework is
short term work, such as creating a small website or preparing a style
sheet for a website. Most telework is for professionals, such as editors
and writers, or those certified in specific fields, such as medical
coders, and telework is a viable part-time opportunity to make extra
money for the holidays, even in only a few weeks.
Take on a part-time job
Additional part-time jobs are the traditional method of earning extra
money for the holidays, but many people wait for the holiday season and
work in retail to earn extra cash. However, there are other peak
periods in other industries where people can make extra money and put it
away for the holidays. For example, during tax time, a person trained
in book keeping can help small business put their information together
for an accountant, or you can work security for concerts during the
summer, or if you have the training, as a lifeguard at an outdoor pool.
There are other opportunities for part time work beyond the bustle of
the holiday season.
Hobbies into cash
Crafters and artisans have made their living at their craft, but
Internet sites such as Ebay or Etsy allow the hobby crafter or artisan
to make money selling her products online. You can also rent a small
booth during the summer months at a farmer’s market and sell your
products. You do need a skill, such as jewelry making or pickling, and
have made an initial investment in materials to make money, but this
extra income can be turned into holiday cash.
Teach a class
If you have a skill, perform a hobby such as
knitting, a trade such as wood working, or in-demand knowledge, such as
social media marketing, you can teach a class. You need to prepare a
class plan, apply and submit the plan and application to a local school
