If you’re not one of the e-tailers laughing all the way to the bank during the Holidays, nor one of those virtual assistants who actually consider the holidays as one of the busiest times of the year, how do you make money online before wrapping Christmas gifts for everyone?

Do you have a blog? Optimize it.

It’s a no-brainer if you have been in the online publishing industry for quite some time. But if you’ve just started with your niche blogging, tweak, tweak and tweak to make it useful for people looking for some gift ideas and you’ll see your ad earnings shoot up in no time. Or if you dislike AdSense, how about affiliate products? Any blog or website with a theme will most probably have an affiliate product match.

Got gadgets you no longer use? Auction them off on eBay.

I find myself collecting stuff that I don’t really use these past few months. And I’m sure this bit of advice from Chris Pirillo might work for me, too, if only eBay Philippines has the same enthusiastic buyers as that of eBay US.

Are you blog savvy? Be a part of the Problogger Community Consulting 2.0 project.

This is Darren Rowse’s version of paid blog review. Darren will charge $250 and part of it will go to one of those people who add his or her two cents worth of advice. I don’t think someone’s going to get just two cents though. Here’s one of the reasons why Darren’s charging $250:

It will enable us to offer the wider ProBlogger community an incentive to participate (there will be a prize for one person who gives advice).

Who knows that one person might be you, right?
