How to Make Money Writing Santa Letters

Did you know you can make money writing letters from Santa? Santa letters -- letters from Santa to specific children, usually requested by parents -- can make a good source of writing income during the holidays. Many freelance writers and work-at-home moms write delightful Santa letters as a way to earn extra income and spread holiday cheer. Here's how to make money writing Santa letters.

Instructions

Begin to advertise your Letters from Santa in early November. Many people will see your ad several times before acting on it. Make a flyer to give to your Christian school or post on your church bulletin board. Advertise online on your local Craig's List.

Step 2

Team up with a non-profit organization and offer to give them a portion of the proceeds. You can then include their name in your advertisements, increasing customers, and they will help promote your letters from Santa.

Step 3

Decide on a price and what features your letter will included. On the website "Stamped by Santa," personalized letters from Santa are $9.95. These include references to the child's accomplishments that year and are on candy-cane scented paper.

Step 4

Create a brief questionnaire/ order form for parents. Ask about their children's' interests, age, family members, pets, and favorite toys and nickname to make your letter more personal. List your price and note any discount for multiple children in the same family.

Step 5

Compose kind and heartfelt letters from Santa. Make several basic templates and customize them to each child.

Step 6

Deliver the Letters from Santa in a timely manner. If they are ordered enough in advance, you can send them all to the Postmaster at North Pole, AK for a special stamp.

Step 7

Learn more about the Santa letter writing business by reading the book "Everything You Need to Know to Start a Santa Letter Writing Business" by Donna L. Turello.
