Students Extra Income: Festivals such as Diwali, Christmas, or New Year not only promise joy and excitement but also bring in countless ways to earn. Here are nine of the simplest and most effective ways for students to earn during this festive season.
If you can write pretty darn well, can do graphic designing, or even know how to manage social media, you may apply for freelance projects. Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer offer very quick payouts for gigs which you can adjust according to your schedule.
Customized gifts, small candles, and decorative items lead the demand race in festivals. Use your creativity to the fullest – bear in mind that you can open an Instagram shop and sell through Etsy or at local pop-up markets.
Brands and small businesses would probably look for new influencers or semi-marketers to promote their discounts for the holidays. So if you’ve got pretty decent followers, then scoop that job via paid promotion or barter deal.
The wiser students can go in the way of online tutoring if they want to add bucks to their pocket after teaching fellow peers or school kids. Such platforms are available right from Vedantu and Chegg to Zoom tutoring.
Temporary jobs have been thrown up by most of the retail outlets, bakeries, and event companies. These short jobs are cashing out really fast. And they expose you to some real work experience.
During these several holidays, lots of temporary hiring will take place in Swiggy, Zomato, or agencies that arrange events. This is pretty straightforward, and it is flexible while earning that extra money.

If you have a good camera or just a phone you can set up a photography or shoot short videos for small family events, festival decor shoots, or product catalogues.
Easiest way to earn some quick dollars is getting rid of and selling those ‘opened rarely’ books or dresses with price tags still intact at OLX, Quikr or at Instagram thrift stores.
Festivals, DIY décor, or student life can be ideas for content. Putting in honest hard work and consistency could later reward it with ad, affiliate link, or sponsorship payments.
