Part Time Business Opportunities For The Holidays

We could use some extra cash right now? That's what we tell ourselves most of the time, especially right before the holiday rush where the expenditures are more than what we have imagined. It's really not necessary that you overspend this holiday season. However, won't it be nice that even if you're not going to spend much, you will have extra in your coffer?

There are ways to augment your income this holiday season and all you have to do is use your skills/talents, the resources that you already have, and the time to spare to create stuff you can sell for Christmas.

Christmas is the season of merriment and with that comes the delectable treats that many prefer to give as Christmas gifts.

If you're a great baker or has the knack for baking yummy treats, then use your skill in baking to create baked goodies you can pack and sell to your local market, neighbors, family, friends, and colleagues.

Create Christmas crafts like ornaments and decors

Are you crafty and do you love to make objects out of spare materials> If so, then use that handy talent to create Christmas stuff you can sell like ornaments, decors, wreaths, Christmas baskets, and many more holiday-themed things you can create.

Make handmade cards and gift tags

There's something about giving personalized cards and tags. Since it is handmade, you can create many designs that will always be unique and one of a kind.  I used to make a lot of handmade cards and gift tags before and would start creating as early as July so I could make a lot that I sell to my colleagues, and friends. I used to get good sales which was very nice as it added to the Christmas budget.

Create clip arts or sell your holiday-themed drawings

Let your artistic flair flow and sell your holiday-themed clip arts or drawings. There are plenty of online sites which accepts freelance artists' original artworks. You can submit to any of them. You will get a portion of the sales when someone buys a certain product from that site with your artwork printed on it.

Etsy is one of my favourite site for crafty and handmade enthusiasts. You can open a store there and sell your downloadable art so you can earn extra this holiday season.


So, use that God-given talent and start creating beautiful stuff you can sell this Holiday season!

In Need Of Capital

There are plenty of business opportunities presented to me by my friends. Unfortunately, I cannot commit at the moment due to our tight budget. I feel like I am letting those opportunities pass. I cannot take loans right now because we have a big project this year and that is to start the construction of our dream house.

Some of my friends are into the trucking business back in the Philippines. One of them is asking me if I can share in the business but I am badly in need of capital. I wish I have plenty of savings so I can invest on the truck tracking and delivery service. I also did my research and it involves a lot of money. I do not have that kind of money in the bank.

Another friend of mine here in Dubai asked me to join a marketing scheme for electronic mobile loads to be used in the Philippines. Again, I need money as a start-up and I am sure the rest will be fruitful as long as I have the money to spare. I did not decline but I cannot confirm anything as of this time. I am still fixing my budget for the next few months. I just want to make sure that we have enough to cover our means while it is still recession.

I certainly hope that the opportunities do not stop from knocking. If I miss them, it is not deliberate. It is more of a choice at this point. I hope I can shake off my financial burden so I can jump to all the business opportunities around me and that will open the floodgates of money coming in.
