Black Friday is just around the corner and the REAL holidays not long after that. And we know what that means: shopping, shopping, travel, shopping, over-the-top meals, and more shopping. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few extra bucks to work with this year? It’s possible, and without even leaving your house.

Here are a few terrific ways to turn a quick profit as a side hustle or, if things go well, to supplant your 9-to-5er:

1. Start a blog. If you find yourself writing long emails or social media posts, why not organize them into an official blog? Find a niche that can be supported by advertising or affiliate marketing, and one post can turn into plenty of residual income. It may take some time to ramp up, but off-shoot profits are almost unlimited.

2. Sell stuff on eBay. We all have STUFF. Check the garage, the attic, your parents’ basement for antiques, collectibles, or memorabilia and sell it on eBay. Your trash is someone else’s treasure!

3. Share your space. If you have a spare room or room in your car, you may be sitting on a goldmine. Consider Airbnb—especially during the holidays—or even Uber—if you have time in your schedule for some quick drop-offs and pick-ups. If you don’t mind sharing your space with a pup or a cat, check out www.rover.com to do some petsitting over the holidays.

4. Tutor. As we come up on SAT and college application season, consider sharing your education and experience with a youngster. Sites like www.tutor.com already have clients lined up and it’s just up to you to pick a subject and set a schedule.

5. Make something nice and sell it. ‘Tis the season to bake, make, crochet, paint, and design, so while you certainly can give these homemade gifts away, sites like www.etsy.com provide a ready-made storefront that allows you to sell to strangers around the world, as well as neighbors around the corner.

As with anything on the web, be careful and make sure to research your opportunity thoroughly before going all in. Most importantly, find a reliable payment processor (check here for recommendations) and check your accounts often to make sure you’re raking it in in time for your holiday shopping!
