You can also sell cookies, pastries and other delicacies and sell them to your neighbors or in the weekend market. Market yourself to friends in the office and offer to cook for them when there are intimate gatherings. Make extra sandwiches for colleagues and earn by bringing them lunch in the office.

These are only a couple of what you can do to earn extra income for your debt payments. As long as you are creative and passionate about your hobby, you can find a way to capitalize on it.
