How To Earn Pocket Money For The Season

With the season approaching all you want to do is go on a shopping spree, shower your family, friends and pets with gifts, become the best Secret Santa in office and not to mention show some well-deserved self-love! But, that’s a little difficult to do when your pocket is empty, am I right? Right.

Don’t sweat it, girlfriend! We have the answer to your problem. There’s a ton of options available to help you fill your wallet without eating into your time unnecessarily. Not only will you be able to go on a stress-free shopaholic mode, you might even decide to make it your long term side-hustle!

LET ’S LOOK AT YOUR OPTIONS, SHALL WE?

EBAY IS YOUR BUD

Walk into your room, look around and answer this honestly: How many of the things in there do you genuinely need? If you grudgingly replied, ‘Not many’, this is what you can do. First, mentally prepare yourself to let go and part ways with anything unnecessary. Be it clothes, accessories, shoes, used or unused items, if you don’t need them, let someone else have it. Not only does this help you get some extra cash but also declutters and neatens up your space, killing two birds with one stone!

LIQUIDATE YOUR CREATIVITY

Have your talents always been inclined towards the creative side? Then you’re in luck. Use your artsy side to innovate and create things of value. Lookup a few DIY projects and give it a personal touch that will speak to people. It can be jewellery, candles, pottery, seasonal greeting cards, seasonal deco or anything else that you have the interest and knack to do. But don’t forget to enjoy yourself while you fill your pockets.

PUT A PRICE ON THAT TASTE
