Here are 30 ways to make extra money for the holidays.

The average American spends close to $1,000 on Christmas gifts, and that probably doesn't even

include any holiday-related travel, any extra food expenses, which is why I wanted to do an

episode on ways to make extra money for the holidays.

What are some of the relatively simple, low startup costs, fast-to-see-results, types of side hustles to help soften the

blow of that upcoming bump in your budget. And to help me out with these is someone who took

her side hustle into a full-time business and knows a thing or two about budgeting as well from

inspired budget.com and the inspired budget podcast, Alison Bagger. Welcome to The Side Hustle Show.

Thanks for having me, Nick. I'm excited to talk about these 30 ways. And I have to say,

I love the idea of presenting people with ways that you're not signing up for this full-time

commitment for months and months and months on end. A lot of these you can do once or twice,

get some cash in the bank and spend money on what you want and then call it a day. That's right. I don't know if you'll find

podcasting on this list because there's always another Thursday coming around. You never know what you're

committed to. What do you sign up for this? But now you've got over a million downloads on the

inspired budget show. Encourage people to check that out after you're done with this episode.

But this is one of my favorite formats because we're just going, we're going to throw out

a bunch of different moneymaking ideas.

I know I promised 30 at top of the show.

We'll see how many we end up with.

Might be more, might be less.

That's the peril of recording a live intro without knowing what's going to happen next. But I want to start off with one that has been fairly consistent for me

to the tune of, you know, a few hundred dollars a year. And that's this paid market research side hustle.
