Looking to make a few extra bucks this holiday season? Use your expert beauty skills to your advantage. Check out these simple side hustles that can help you earn extra money during the holidays.
1. Sell Extra Products
Whether you work as a makeup artist, esthetician, or other beauty professional, chances are you have a product to sell. The holiday season is the best time to push sales to create a larger profit margin. Most beauty professionals also find it easier to sell products during the holiday season, as clients are often looking for gifts for family and friends. For even bigger sales, consider offering a discount on your products or try other sales tactics such as live demonstrations or special events that spark interest in your products. Clients love gift baskets to give out as presents, so maybe throw together a few eye-catching sets!
2. Offer Extra Services or Gift Certificates
Put your skills to the test by offering professional beauty services this holiday season maybe outside of your norm. This could mean working more hours at work to accommodate those with limited free time or offering your services in your clients’ homes (with proper licensing). You may also want to consider adding new services to your beauty menu, such as holiday-themed facial treatments or formal makeup applications for those upcoming holiday events. Also, don’t forget to sell gift certificates! Gift certificates are a simple way to make extra money with minimal effort. If you don’t have the time or money to print paper gift certificates, offer a digital version on your website or social media page.
3. Work Part-Time
If you’re looking for a way to add on to your steady paycheck this holiday season, consider getting a part-time job in the evenings or weekends. As a beauty professional, you may consider working in a salon or spa. Even if it’s working front desk or retail, you could earn an extra couple hundred bucks a week. Working local events is another great way to earn some extra money. During the holidays there are often events that require beauty professionals. Spend a few hours helping out and go home with a fist full of cash.
The holiday season often means vacations, gift giving, and festive activities. Unfortunately, these things often require cash. If you need to earn extra money this holiday season, try these lucrative money-making ideas for beauty professionals and watch your bank account grow.
