7 Ways to Earn Extra Cash During the Holidays

The holiday season in SG is more than just Orchard Road lights and year-end parties. It is also a golden window to earn some extra cash.

Whether you’re a student on break, a side hustler looking to boost your income, or someone wanting to make the most of the festive buzz, the opportunities are everywhere. You can turn the holiday cheer into a money-making moment.

#1: SELL FESTIVE TREATS

Singaporeans love food, especially during celebrations. If you have a knack for baking pineapple tarts, making easter sugar cookies, or crafting handmade ornaments, consider selling them online or at pop-up markets.

Platforms like Carousell, Shopee, and Instagram can help you reach eager holiday shoppers. A simple way to stand out is by offering custom packaging for gifting.

#2: JOIN THE RETAIL RUSH

Holiday hiring peaks during this period. Retail stores and food and beverage outlets see a rise in demand and often need part-timers. With malls packed and events happening across the island, short-term gigs can pay well. You might even enjoy employee discounts.

Check job boards such as FastJobs, Jobstreet by SEEK, or MyCareersFuture to find seasonal opportunities.

#3: OFFER GIFT WRAPPING SERVICES

Not everyone has time (or skill) to wrap gifts or plan holiday events. That’s where you come in. Aesthetic gift wrapping, personal shopping, or helping organize Secret Santa exchanges for offices can all be monetized.

If you have an eye for design or a talent for logistics, these services are in demand.

#4: HOST WORKSHOP SESSIONS

If you have a creative skill or unique hobby, consider hosting a workshop. Holiday wreath-making, baking classes, and digital illustration tutorials are popular.

You can run sessions online or rent a cozy space for an in-person experience. People are more open to trying new things and spending on creative experiences during the festive season.

#5: SELL PRELOVED ITEMS

As the year ends, many people start decluttering. This creates a great opportunity to sell preloved clothes, electronics, books, or home decor.

You can host a garage sale, set up a booth at a flea market, or list your items online through Carousell, Instagram, and Facebook Marketplace.

#6: OFFER PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES

With parties, family gatherings, and romantic proposals happening during the holiday season, people want to capture the moment.

If you have a decent camera and editing skills, offer mini photo shoots or content creation services. Holiday-themed packages or branding ideas for social media can help you stand out.

#7: DELIVER ON DEMAND

The holidays bring a spike in deliveries for food, gifts, and groceries. If you own a vehicle or even a bicycle, you can sign up for platforms like Grab, Foodpanda, or Lalamove. The flexible hours and increased demand during peak times can lead to better earnings.

IN A NUTSHELL

Instead of only spending during the holidays, why not use the season to build your income too?

Whether you’re selling, creating, or offering a service, there are plenty of ways to earn while enjoying the spirit of the season. These side hustles might even grow into something more long-term if you approach them strategically.

Cha-Ching! How Much Are SG Influencers Really Making?

Scrolling through Instagram, you might catch glimpses of influencers living the high life with luxury trips, designer wardrobes, and glamorous parties. But when a video surfaced of an influencer reportedly being paid six figures by a Dubai public figure just to attend a party (with a marriage proposal on the table, no less), it got me wondering: how much do SG influencers actually make?

The truth? It varies a lot. From casual product placements to full-blown brand campaigns, the price tag depends on follower count, engagement rates, and star power.

MONEY BREAKDOWN

In Singapore, influencer rates fluctuate widely, but here’s a general breakdown based on follower count:

A. Nano-Influencers (500-10,000 followers): S$10 to S$100 per post

B. Micro-Influencers (10,000-50,000 followers): S$100 to S$500 per post

C. Mid-Tier Influencers (50,000-100,000 followers): S$500 to S$5,000 per post

D. Macro-Influencers (100,000-500,000 followers): S$5,000 to S$10,000 per post

E. Mega-Influencers (500,000+ followers): S$10,000+ per post

While nano-influencers might only score a free meal or a couple of bucks for a sponsored post, macro- and mega-influencers have turned their personal brands into serious business. At the upper tier, these influencers can rake in tens of thousands of dollars for a single Instagram post or a polished TikTok video.

OTHER REVENUE STREAMS

For influencers who play their cards right, the opportunities extend far beyond Instagram grids and TikTok trends. Many Singaporean influencers also earn from:

A. Brand Ambassadorships: Long-term collaborations that can pay out monthly retainers.

B. Event Appearances: Think red carpet gigs, product launches, or yes, even private parties.

C. TV Commercials & Media Campaigns: A more traditional (and lucrative) route.

D. Affiliate Marketing: Earning a commission for every sale driven through their unique links.

A Reddit thread even spilled the tea on how SG influencers leverage these platforms to pull in hefty paychecks, particularly those with sharp business acumen and a loyal fanbase.

IS IT ALL GLAMOUR?

Not quite. The influencer hustle isn’t just posing with the latest skincare drop. Successful influencers juggle content creation, audience engagement, and brand negotiations. Plus, the competition is fierce, especially in a small market like Singapore.

But for those who make it? The perks range from free designer goodies to eye-watering paydays. And while not everyone will be whisked off to Dubai for a lavish proposal, a well-crafted Instagram feed can still open the door to some seriously lucrative opportunities.

Just ask some of Singapore’s top influencers, such as Naomi Neo, JianHao Tan, and Andrea Chong, who’ve turned their digital personas into thriving businesses and brands!
