EP 284 Holiday Side Hustles to Boost Your Bottom Line

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Bold Goal Crusher podcast blog. This is the place where we help entrepreneurs and side hustlers like you grow and thrive, so you can crush your goals and everything that gets in the way. Today, we're talking about how to add a little extra money to your bottom line during the holiday season. This period is truly prime time to bring in additional income with smart and seasonal side hustles that will fit your business goals. So let's dive right in. 

Our first idea is consulting. Right now, a bunch of businesses and entrepreneurs are looking for guidance on things like holiday marketing strategies, year-end planning, wellness, and stress management. If you have expertise in coaching or consulting, consider offering a short-term consulting package. This could be a three-session package where you help clients with a specific goal, whether it's closing the year strong, making a marketing push, setting up financial goals for next year, or simply managing holiday stress. 

The key here is to offer a tangible result they can achieve right before or right after the holidays. This does not need to be a big transformation, just something small and a quick win. 

Another idea is product bundling or gift packages. Whether you sell physical products or digital items, bundling is a great way to create something special for the season. For example, if you're a coach, you might bundle a few of your courses or offer a New Year's success package that combines a coaching call with a downloadable workbook. 

If you have a physical product, think about creating gift boxes—maybe a self-care box or a productivity starter kit. People are busy during the holidays, so the more you can make it easy for them to shop, the more appealing your products become. 

Let's also talk about pop-up shops and local markets. During the holidays, people love not just the products themselves, but also the experience and the magic of shopping. If your business lends itself to physical products or in-person services, consider hosting a pop-up event. This could be a standalone event or you could partner with other local businesses to create a mini-market. 

If going out to markets isn't your style, consider supporting other vendors or even hosting a virtual pop-up shop through platforms like Instagram Live or Facebook Live to give people a taste of your holiday offers. 

Holiday shoppers are often looking for more than just products; they're searching for memorable experiences. This could be as simple as hosting a holiday-themed workshop, such as stress-free holiday planning or New Year goal setting. 

If you can create a hands-on experience like a vision board workshop or a cooking class, consider offering this as a unique holiday gift option. Customers can buy these experiences for themselves or as gifts for others. 

So there you have it—holiday side hustle ideas you can start now to boost your income. Don't be afraid to try something new this holiday season; experiment and have fun. You might find a new revenue stream that works for you year after year.
