6 Ways to Earn Extra Money for Christmas!

Sharing is caring!

Are you looking for ways to Earn some extra $$$ for Christmas?

Christmas is just around the corner. If you are like me, then you are always looking for ways to earn a bit extra Christmas money.  After all, every little bit counts. Thankfully there are some great ways to earn some extra money that doesn't involve donating blood and plasma (though if you are inclined to do so I would never stand in your way. After all there is always a need for it.) In fact, many things you can do via your computer or phone from the comfort of your own home. 

Here are 6 Methods that I have totally used myself to earn plenty of extra Cash (at Christmas time and throughout the rest of the year.)

1 - Sell Your Extra Stuff

There are soo many places you can sell your good condition stuff to earn some extra money that doesn't involve holding a traditional garage sale. Kid to Kid and other Kids consignment sores are great for selling baby and kids clothes, toys, books, and equipment.  There are a bunch of fb on-line yard sell groups where you can sell your stuff for free via fb to others who live locally.  Amazon is a great place to sell certain items as well. Amazon is always a great option to sell your great condition items since they have soo much traffic.

2 - Use Ibotta 

New Users Earn $10 just for signing up!  Then you earn more mony by buying your favorite products at participating stores. How it does Ibotta work?  After you set up your account, you find offers for specific products for stores in your area. You pick those offers and then buy those products at any participating stores (don't forget to grab your receipt). You redeem then your offer by taking a photo of your receipt and submitting it to Ibotta via their app. Once they verify you bought the product at the participating store then the money for the offer will be directly deposited into your account within 48 hours!

3 - Do a Bake Sale

If you love to cook, then now is a great time to share your talents to earn some extra cash (check your local laws first in case you need to get permission or have food handlers permit or anything). I have helped my teenage sister and my kids make a lot of money during the holidays by selling cookies, candies, Lemon Cheese Cake Bars, pies etc that I help them make and package them and they do the footwork to go and seel them. It's amazing how many people love homemade treat during the holidays (for parties or to just enjoy for themselves)  but don't have the time or talent to make them for themselves.

4 - Use Swagbucks

New users Earn $3 for just Joining and can earn up to $35 for just taking a Survey!  Seriously, I have used swag bucks for years and earned multiple gift cards which I always save up for Holiday Gift buying. How does Swagbucks work? You earn point by using their search engine, answering daily polls, watching videos, playing games, shopping online and answering surveys. Then once you get enough points you can redeem them for gift cards to places like Amazon (which is what I always do), Walmart, Target, STEAM, Paypal etc. You can even save up to earn Disneyland Tickets! Sign up here.

5 - Start an Etsy Shop to sell goods online. 

This option takes a bit more set up but can be very profitable.  You can sell physical items you make, digital downloads (I sold Printables for a couple years) crafting supplies or antiques. You will want to get a DBA (do business as) license and tax id (if you are in a state that requires it) then take the time to set up your store policies and setting before getting your items listed.  Set up a new account using this link and get 40 Free listings for your new shop!
