Christmas is quickly approaching and, you know what that means – Christmas shopping! Christmas shopping can be stressful enough on its own but add the burden of not having enough money to your worries and your Christmas just got a whole lot gloomier.

Luckily, we’re here to help. Below you will find a list of 5 easy and quick ways to earn money during the holiday season:

1. Clinical Studies. Sign up for a clinical study and you can earn cash fast. Clinical studies are, by far, one of the easiest and fastest ways to earn cash without very little effort. Not only will you earn money for signing up for a clinical study but you may also get free medication and/or travel when you participate.
2. Sell your Used Items Online. Now would be a great time to go through all of the items you’ve collected over the years and separate them into 2 categories: keeping and selling. The ones that you put in the “selling” category will surely be picked up fast on sites like Kijiji or eBay. Depending on how many items you have, you could potentially put an extra couple hundred dollars in your pocket in no time at all.
3. Become a Dog Walker. This might also sound like it’s more of a tip for kids but an adult can make a lot of money walking people’s pets while they’re away on vacation or business trips. If you can walk up to 6 dogs a day, twice a day at $10 each time, you’re looking at $120 for one day of work. Not bad, huh?
4. Give blood. In many cities, you can easily earn $35 for donating a little bit of your blood. You can donate twice a week – that’s an extra $70 in bank and a few extra Christmas items to strike off your list.
5. Shovel Snow. It might sound juvenile but asking neighbors and friends if they need their driveways shoveled is always a great way to earn money fast. You can get upwards of 5 or 6 driveways done in a day and at $15 a pop you’re looking at anywhere from $75 to $100 in one day.

There you go: 5 of the best, easiest and quickest ways to earn money this holiday season.
