more money than you
spend this holiday season?

3. Sounds like a pretty
good idea, right?

4. If you'd like to be on the making
money end during the holidays,
now is the time to start preparing.

5. Below I'm going to give
you several money-
making ideas.

6. Pick the one or two that
interest you the most and
have fun!

7. SANTA LETTERS

8. Making a child feel special
during the holidays is something
I think most adults strive for.

9. When a child gets a letter from
Santa, the guy they look up to and
respect, that child is going to feel
like a million bucks.

10. Selling to parents, grandparents,
daycares and preschools are a
great way to get business.

11. Once one child starts telling their
friends that THEY got a letter from
Santa, news will start to spread.

12. These children will turn
into little walking
advertisements for you.

13. If you really enjoy this business during the
holidays, you can run this type of business
all year long with letters from the Easter
Bunny, Cupid, the Great Pumpkin, just to
name a few.

14. CRAFTS

15. It doesn't matter if you're into
woodworking, sewing, painting,
pottery, or creating handmade
paper.

16. More than ever, people
enjoy giving that one-of-a-
kind special gift.

17. You can sell your wares via the
Net, at holiday bazaars or craft
shows, or even consignment style.

18. Once you become known for
your crafts, word-of-mouth
will keep you very busy.

19. A HOLIDAY
GRATITUDE
SERVICE

20. Heres a way businesses
can say Thank you to the
community.

21. Its also a way to help
plump up the retailers
business in December.

22. Talk with your local business about
what they’d like to contribute to
your holiday kit that you will be
offering to local residents.

23. It could be a free gift, a
discount, coupons etc.

24. Its a win win situation
for everyone.

25. The community receives some
discounts and the businesses
get more business.

26. This type of service can also be run all
throughout the year by offering newcomer
packets to those who have just moved into
the neighborhood, new baby and new pet
packets etc.

27. You could have a lot of
fun with this one.

28. RUBBER STAMPING

29. One idea is to create your
own line of holiday cards
with rubber stamps.

30. Melissa Duquette has
found this to be a
profitable business.

31. She Explains
"The card season is upon us and everyone will soon
be searching for the perfect holiday card to send to
family and friends.This is your opportunity to break
out into business and create unique hand-stamped
holiday cards.

32. Or why not offer a class teaching this great hobby?
Rubber stamping can be worked into so many
different businesses.I've been to a rubber-stamping
party where we were able to create our own cards. I
had a great time hanging out with my friends and
making my own unique cards."

33. If you are into rubber stamping,
seriously consider having a
rubber stamping card party.

34. You would supply everything
needed, and could charge either a
flat fee or charge per card made.

35. T-SHIRTS

36. Kim Moya runs a T-shirt
business and finds this a way to
make extra cash during the
holidays.

37. She says you can create inexpensive holiday sweatshirts,
and long- and short-sleeved T-shirts. And she doesn't
stop at T-shirts, but also includes tote bags, felt and cloth
ornaments, advent and traditional calendars, aprons and
many other items that you can purchase wholesale and
sell at retail prices!

38. FLEECE BLANKETS

39. I don't know about you,
but I love fleece blankets.

40. I was really excited when I found
out I could make these awesome
"Snuggly" blankets without having
to sew a stitch.

41. Cinda Louden has been
making these types of blankets
for a while now and explains

42. "These blankets are made out of Polar Fleece material.
They are soft, warm, cozy, durable, and wonderfully
'Snuggly.' There's no sewing or needlework involved; all
you do is cut and tie. Making Snugglies is a great way to
start and create a business, make a little extra cash, or
just make them for gifts. It's all up to you!"

43. ONLINE AUCTIONS

44. The hype of eBay has not
gone away, but has only
grown.

45. When among a group of people, I
can usually find someone who has
either bought or sold something in
an online auction.

46. Colleen Wallace has
made it her business to
sell merchandise online.

47. "The holiday season is the best time of year
for me. People are always looking for unique
and interesting gifts to give their loved ones.
What better place to find something different
than the online auctions," says Colleen.

48. Start thinking about what
you might have that you
could sell online.

49. Colleen has found that the items
that sell well are those that can be
used for stocking stuffers, are
limited editions, or are signed items.

50. BAKING

51. Then there are the people
who cannot stop baking
during the holidays.

52. Are you the type of person who finds that at
the close of the season, all of your
neighbors' and friends refrigerators and
cookie jars are bursting at the seams
because baking is just your thing?

53. Believe it or not, this is
not the favorite activity of
everyone.

54. Stacy Robinson has found that A
Holiday Home Boutique is a fun way
to network with others who provide a
holiday-related product or service.

55. Each vendor displays her product or
information about her service, and
friends and neighbors are invited to
come to shop and share fellowship.

56. "As a cake decorator, I sell gingerbread houses, as well as
display and serve a holiday-themed decorated cake - which
the hostesses love because this becomes part of the
refreshments! Visitors to the boutique get a chance to taste
and see my cakes, and I take orders for holiday party cakes.
I also display a few 'dummy cakes' to showcase my designs
for birthdays, weddings, etc."

57. The niche market that has been
Stacy's holiday bread and butter
since 1991 is selling gingerbread
houses to real estate agents.

58. She leaves a gingerbread house
with order information in large
real estate offices for a few days.

59. She also offers free delivery to the real
estate office, or delivery for a fee to their
home-buying customers and other
colleagues, such as mortgage brokers,
closing attorneys, etc.

60. PLAN IT RIGHT

61. These are just a few ideas you can
use to make a little extra cash this
holiday season. Use your
imagination.

62. Remember, people are more
than willing to spend money for
that special gift and holiday
service.

63. Why can't you be the one
who pockets that money?

64. This is such a great time
of year to make your
business work.

65. Being your own boss has
never sounded better,
now has it?

66. Start thinking now if you want this
to be seasonal work, or if you want
to continue your business into the
new year.

67. All of the business ideas I
listed above can be run
throughout the year.

68. This could be the start of
something very profitable!
