Sell your old and unwanted items

One of the quickest and simplest ways to get money is to sell things you don’t need. Have a large number of CDs and DVDs you no longer watch or listen to? Sign them up to sell services. Old video games and systems collecting dust? Also sell them. Stacks of bags of clothing in the spare room sell them on eBay or in a yard sale. Got an old car in your garage? sell it with edmunds.

Use mystery shopping instead 

Paying people to shop? Really? Yup! Ruth Bushi, the editor of Save the Student, explained how to work as a mystery shopper to us last year. Payment can vary per project, but it won’t make you rich. Sometimes the products you buy are yours to keep, giving you an extra Christmas gift to give. 

Live art 

For their art programmes, local institutions and colleges frequently seek out individuals with a variety of physical types. Some models are paid, thus they are not necessarily required to be entirely naked when posing.

Learn to Walk Dogs or Pet Sit 

There are apps that do more than just deliver food that can be used to supplement your income. If you enjoy taking care of animals, you can board or walk dogs to earn extra money. Dog walkers are often hired by dog owners to take care of their dogs while they are at work. Additionally, you may make more money if you could board pets for their owners while they are away.

Complete online polls 

There are other ways to earn additional money before the holidays besides working a part-time job. You can also complete surveys to earn money to bolster your wallet. Paid surveys are a simple way to get extra money for Christmas without making you rich. While waiting for an appointment or while watching TV at night, you can do surveys on your phone. Since they don’t take very long to complete, it’s simple to fill them out whenever you have free time.

Babysit 

Babysitting is a well-known side business to pursue if you’re seeking quick ways to generate money. There is an increase in demand for babysitters as the holidays get closer. If you enjoy spending time with kids, this is a great way to earn additional cash for the holidays. Through word-of-mouth marketing or social media, you can promote your services.

Article Writing for Payment 

One of the best gig economy jobs to get money before the holidays is freelance writing. There is no requirement for a specialist degree, and working from home is possible. Many companies outsource their writing requirements, and some jobs pay very well. Blog articles, white papers, lectures, and other types of content are all possible, if writing is your hobby, start making money from it.
