How can I Make Money on Holiday?

After planning your holiday for weeks, probably months, all you want to do is relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy your time away from work and the daily hustle and bustle of life, right? But what if you could still make some money while you are away, having a good time at your destination?

This will not only give you extra cash to splurge on more activities or treats during your trip, but it will also take away that post-holiday financial stress. Imagine coming back home with a fuller wallet than when you left. It is also a great way to feel productive while still having a blast.

Here are 3 easy and creative ways to make money on holiday.

Freelancing Online

The beauty of freelancing is that you can do it literally anywhere. All you need is your laptop and a decent Wi-Fi connection. You don’t even need to be an expert in something super complicated. If you have skills like writing, graphic design, social media management, or even basic admin work, you can easily find jobs on sites like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer.

You can find various gigs such as writing blog posts, designing logos, or even managing someone’s Instagram account for the day or a couple of days. The best part is that you can often finish these jobs in just a few hours, so you will still have plenty of time to explore the local sights, try new food, relax, or engage in the activities you want. 

Sell Your Photos

If you are always snapping photos, taking pictures of the sunset, the local street market, that perfectly plated meal, and pretty much everything around you, this could be a good opportunity to make some side cash while doing something you genuinely enjoy.

Instead of just letting those photos sit on your phone or camera, why not sell your holiday snaps online and get paid for them? And you don't even have to be a professional photographer to get started. As long as the photos are high-quality and interesting, they can sell.

Platforms like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and EyeEm let you upload your photos, and whenever someone downloads them, you earn money. The best thing about selling your photos on these platforms is that they are more of a passive income. Once your photos are up, they continue selling even after your vacation. Every time someone downloads your photo, you get paid.

Rent Out Your Place

If you are planning a long holiday and no one will be staying in your apartment while you are away, there is no need to let it sit empty, collecting dust. Renting out your place is a super easy way to earn extra cash, and with apps like Airbnb, it has never been easier.

Even if you have never done it before, getting started is simple. Just take a few great pictures of your place, write a fun description, and list it on Airbnb and other rental sites. You can also advertise on social media and other platforms.

You always have full control of how it operates, so you set your own price, choose the dates it is available, and approve who stays there. And you don’t have to worry about anything. Platforms like Airbnb offer protection plans, so your place is covered in case anything goes wrong.
