If you are feeling the pressure this year then some extra money will come in handy, perhaps you want to bypass Christmas all together and go away to nice hot luxury holiday destination or maybe you do love Xmas but just not the hassle of cooking the meal and having several ungrateful family members and in laws filling up your home, why not book a nice restaurant and after the meal you all have a few drinks there and then they can all go back to their own homes and you go back to yours, your quiet, clean home without the zillion pots, pans and crockery to clean!
There are some relatively easy ways to make money just in time for Christmas;
ebay - don't recoil in horror quite yet, I'm not going to tell you to sell some old household goods but this is a much more fun way and can earn you quite a bit in profit. Make and sell your own ugly Christmas sweaters! You don't need to go out buying these in bulk, just use old jumpers you have already or go to a charity shop and buy 1 or 2, jazz it up with old decorations and put up for sale on Ebay, use the profits to buy more sweaters and maybe get some battery operated LED lights to put on them, people love this!
TOP TIP - The more inventive/funny the sweater, the bigger bids you will get, think along the lines of 2 baubles with a glittery candle in-between, naughty but funny too and definitely tacky!
A black sweater with an upside-down snowman on it just sold yesterday (26th November) for $59.95! This is the average price you want to sell yours for.
Handing Out Leaflets - NOT What You Think!
If you are happy being face to face with people then giving out flyers can earn more than you would think. If you join a CPA network like Peerfly (free to join and only takes a minute to fill out the form, in the form you will be asked what your plans are, just be honest and say you want to hand out flyers with offers on them, they only ask this to make sure you are not a spammer that is going to blast peoples email inboxes with offers!) you can print off your own flyers like the one below, you just need to add your affiliate link to it (given to you in Your CPA account)
TOP TIP - Handing out the flyers to people on their way into the places you have offers for, for example if you have a free Burger King gift card offer then people will know they won't get the gift card delivered to them in the next few mins but they will be thinking about a free meal when they pay for this one and are more likely to get on their cell phones, Blackberrys or whatever (can you tell I'm not tech savvy!) and they will fill out the form for their next visit.
Another good place is outside internet cafe's, you can any flyer and they will be more likely to fill these out, particularly people on their own who are maybe on a lunch break and wanting to kill time trying to look busy while sitting on their own!
One more tip, but this this one may involve being around drunk people! There are always lots of offers for singles websites, hand these out outside singles clubs and bars, it's actually best to do this near the start of the night, when they have had a couple of drinks so are in a good mood and more likely to take the flyer off you and they will be optimistic of meeting someone new that night but sadly most of them will be going home along and this is when they might decide to check out the dating sites and jpoin, each person that joins gets you over $4, maybe do it before going out for a drink yourself, you can get your friends involved and spend say 30 mins doing this before a night out.
You can actually do this without printing off leaflets or meting people face to face, just do it all online and easily make $20 - $30 or more per day, the reason I didn't mention this in my "make cash for Christmas" is that it will take a bit longer to set up whereas the previously mentioned will take minutes and then you can just print the leaflets and go hand them out.

Fiverr.com
Fiverr sells things for.... drumroll..... $5! You can sell anything like a few paragraphs of advice on dog training, a psychic reading, you can record yourself singing, write short articles for people... so many different things, go there and check it out, it's free and quick to join.
Some people are making thousands of dollars a month from this but most of these people are established and have been selling for a while now, you can do this too but probably not from Christmas this year, have some fun with it though and who knows you might just come with an awesome and original idea that sells like hotcakes!
TOP TIP - You make just under $4 (Fiverr takes $1 off every sale then Paypal takes a small cut) doesn't sound like much but you can offer say a 3 minute product review video and then promote offers for more like another $5 for an extra 2 min video or $5 to get your task completed in under 24 hours.
