Crazy Ways To Earn Extra Money For Christmas

 

Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year To Everyone. This post will talk about the Ways To Earn Extra Money For Christmas. 

 

I don’t know about you, but I personally am not so great at saving money through out the year.  I was not a great saver until last year when I used these ideas (below) and started saving money from the earnings I made from each idea. Thus, decided to share it with you.

 

 

Survey Sites

 

The first way is through survey sites. I will not go into great detail about survey sites, but let me tell you something here, I make about $40 CAD each month from survey sites. I could be making more. However, I am busy working on my blog. But if you do the math that’s about $480 CAD per year.

 

Affiliate Marketing

 

Now you probably have heard of the term “Affiliate Marketing” before, but still not sure whether it’s something you want to do. Let me tell you something, this is where I make most of my income through out the year as a blogger. I promote merchants products online, and if the visitors make a purchase, I then get a commission from that sale. It’s that simple, but it requires a lot of hard work at first. 

 

Having said that, affiliate marketing has its own advantages and disadvantages. And one of the best ways to practice affiliate marketing is through a website. So if you are a website owner, you need to insert the affiliate links within your content, and if someone clicks and makes a purchase, you will earn commission.

 

Most affiliate programs are free to join as an affiliate. Some programs may have certain quotas to meet, such as the Amazon Associates Program is one. But it is one of the best affiliate networks out there, especially for starters. Read more here on my take on the Amazon Associates program. 

 

Most people feel discouraged to try affiliate marketing, since they believe that if visitors make a purchase through an affiliate link, they will be charged more than if they were to purchase it from the merchants main site. That is totally INCORRECT. Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.

 

 

In essence, affiliate marketing is not something you can make money from overnight. This will take a while for you to get set-up. So if you like the idea of affiliate marketing. Please ensure you start on it right away.

 

 

 

Wrap Presents

 

If you enjoy wrapping presents, I know I do. Many people don’t. But if you do, you post ads online stating you wrap presents for a certain price. Gift wraps are not as expensive, you can purchase them off Amazon or any other online site. Having said that, you don’t have to pay for the ads you place online, you can use Kijiji, or any other free ad site in your local area.

 

 

Tutor

 

If you are really good at a certain subject, you can place online ads for free on sites such as Kijiji or Craig List or anything similar,  and you can state in your ad exactly which subject you are willing to tutor. You can tutor at their house, or they can come to you. This can be done during your free time. This is a great idea for students to earn extra money.

 

Furthermore, if you like to do tutoring online, you can do that too. This can be done through SKYPE. A lot of people are now tutoring online and making some great income from it.
