I know that you know that Christmas isn’t just about getting presents. Yet, every year, I find myself looking for ways to make some extra money just so that I can spoil the people I love. This year it’s even harder because I’m not returning to my old job. With no extra income and Christmas right around the corner, I’m looking for ways to make some extra cash. Now! For today’s post, I’m sharing three easy ways you make extra money, just in time for all your Christmas shopping.
3 Easy Ways to Make Extra Money Before Christmas
Sell your old stuff online
eBay, Amazon, VarageSale, Letgo, and Facebook buy & sale groups, are just a few ways you can sell your old stuff online. I personally love using Facebook buy & sale groups to get rid of my old stuff. Just make sure you use common sense precautions when meeting up (meet in a public place, use cash only, bring someone with you, etc.).
Garage sale
Selling online isn’t your thing? Try having an old fashion garage sale. You can post flyers at your local grocery stores or near your community mailbox. More people are likely to show up!
Freelancing
Whether it is writing, editing, photography, you can make money by selling your skills as a freelancer. A good way to start is by creating a profile on Freelancer.com. There are a lot of opportunities there for you to make some quick cash.
What else can you do to make some extra cash? I’d love to hear from you.

These are great ideas! I have a few things I need to sell, but not sure if it’d be possible before Christmas. I’ll keep trying. We have most Christmas gifts though, I just like having extra money.

Some stores are usually hiring part time workers because the holiday season brings more people around so maybe that’s a good idea too. Oh, and also doing uber perhaps? My friend does it and it does help a lot?

Both are excellent ways to make some extra this holiday season!

All terrific ideas and a good time to be reminded. The Holiday Season is a time many people end up overspending on gifts and treats so, the extra cash helps. 🙂

I’m all about the online garage sale – clear the clutter before the holidays!! This is a great write up of smart ideas to organize and make money at the same time.

Such good ideas to make extra money during the holidays. I have friends who decided to do Uber since there is no school during the holidays and they can get extra money from driving people around so I guess that’s also a way to do it.

Great ideas! I’ll have to try them out!
