What if your Ang Paos could fund a vending machine business? These aren’t just for drinks and snacks anymore. Think vending machines stocked with lunch boxes, flowers, eco-friendly products, or quirky gadgets.
Once you’ve set it up, regular restocking and basic maintenance are all you need. You can choose high-traffic spots like MRT stations or schools, and watch the coins roll in while you enjoy your Bak Kwa and your CNY cookies.

2. Sell Your Photos Online

Got a good eye for photography? This year, turn your photos into profit! Whether it’s shots of festive Chinatown lights or Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands, you can sell them on platforms like Shutterstock and Adobe Stock.
 
Each download earns you a commission, and since a single photo can sell multiple times, it’s like having your own money-making ang pao.

3. Rent Out Your Equipment

Do you have gadgets or gear collecting dust? Cameras, drones, or even high-tech kitchen appliances can be rented out to people who need them temporarily.
List them on platforms like Carousell, and earn some side income while keeping your items in good shape. Add extras like delivery services to sweeten the deal!

4. Start a YouTube Channel and Xiao Hong Shu

If you’re a bit creative, selling printables is a great idea. Design planners, festive greeting cards, or even fun worksheets for kids. Upload them on Etsy, and every sale adds a little more to your CNY savings.
