Sidelines this Christmas Season

Christmas is just around the corner, spending here and there is the goal of everyone these days. But how about those people who doesn't have anything to spend? Those who got pulled of their work because of cost cutting, or those students wishing they could buy something nice this holiday season? So I thought of tossing in a few tips to produce extra cash this time of giving.

Tip 1: GARAGE SALE

I bet when you check you closet, you can see tons of unused clothes that still look like new or designer bags that were given by relatives from other countries. How about CD's that are hard to find or even old batteries of printers and cellphone perhaps? You can sell these stuff at ebay.ph or auction.ph or even in your friendster or myspace account. You can earn as little as P50 per item to as high as P500. Its worth selling the items we don't really use anymore. I have tried this already and I already earned as high as P1500 pesos for clothes I was able to use only once. 

Tip 2: OFFER YOUR SERVICES FOR CASH

I'm not encouraging this if your thinking of selling S_X. Like for this season alot of parties are being held and so if your into photography, you can offer your services in exchange for cash. You can burn them in CD's or upload them in kodak sites where they can download the pictures. You can borrow a friend or your parents digital camera if you don't have your own. 

Tip 3: GET A PART TIME JOB

You can get a part time job in job fairs that hire within the day. Call Centers offer one day processing of application and you can start a couple of days after. You can commit to them in working for a month especially if your a student. Assisting in photo shoots or fashion shows is also an option. 

Tip 4: WORK AROUND THE HOUSE AND ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR EXTRA CASH

I know this might not apply to everyone but hey, it always works. Clean the car or just throw the garbage and ask for atleast P30 pesos. If you do this everyday just image how much money you can have by the eve of Christmas. 

These are just a couple of tips you can use to earn money this holiday. It may not apply to everyone but I'm sure you can use any one it. Hey, it's better than to have nothing. :)
