Valentine’s Day is all about love and commercialism. However you decide to celebrate it (or not) there are ways you can make money with it!
It’s a popular day for specific items and it’s not uncommon for people to need things last minute when all the restaurants and florists are booked out.
This means there are opportunities for you to make money.
5 Ways to Make Money with Valentine’s Day
Sell Flowers
It might seem obvious but you’d be surprised how much you can make.
If there are markets in your area you can go early and pick up flowers to resell at a profit either through your work or as a stall on the side of the road.
Alternatively, get preorders especially if you have a garden with flowers you can use.
Babysitting
Days such as New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day etc are often more expensive to book sitters than other days.
If you aren’t celebrating, you could easily make $35+ per hour babysitting instead.
Deliveries
Florists and other businesses offering deliveries on Valentine’s Day sometimes need an extra helping hand for that day only.
Using either your car or a bike, you can get a decent amount of deliveries done during the day and throughout the evening.
Airtasker
Sign up and check it in the lead up to Valentine’s Day and on the day.
You’d be surprised what people need and want done as well as how much you can get paid for it.
