Fast Cash
Sometimes all you need is a little quick cash. Most the ways to make money quickly won’t actually serve to replace your income, or allow you to make more money to the point where you can quit your day job. However, if you are interested in making more money to pay off debt, or save up for something specific, these ideas can be useful:
1. Sell Your Crap. One of the best things you can do to earn a few quick bucks is sell all the uselessstuff you have sitting around your house. If you are thinking “nobody is gonna want this” you are wrong. You know the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Something that you might find useless and old, someone else might want. So how do you findbuyers for your stuff? The easiest way is to do it online, to do it the right way I suggest you check out Adam Backer’s “ Sell Your Crap .” It’s a great guide that can help you sell yourunwanted things online. It includes 4 ebooks and shows you how to sell your stuff on top online websites such as ebay, Craigslist and Amazon.
2. Paid Testing : You can be a paidtester. Medical companies, cosmetics developers and others pay testers to try products and treatments. For some studies, you might have tomeet certain requirements. Also,if it is a long study, it may take longer for you to get your money. Look for shorter studies.You can search “paid medical studies” and you will see a list of clinics, testing companies andpaid focus group opportunities.
3. Plasma Donation : Blood plasma is in relatively high demand. One of the great thingsabout plasma donation is that you can go two times in any seven days — so long as you wait at least two days in between. Check with DonatingPlasma.org to find centers near you. Can get between $20 and $35 a pint.
4. Bone Marrow Donation : If you have a couple of days, you can go through the process of bonemarrow donation. Depending on how much you give, you can sometimes get up to $450 for a donation. It can be painful, however. Be careful to go to a reputable center.
5. Sperm Donation : If you are willing to commit to six months,and willing to avoid, um, releasing your sperm except during donation times, you can get up to $40 per donation. Thisis something only men can do.
6. Share Your Talents : Those withskill in music can make money by sharing their abilities. If it is allowed, you can set up to entertain at parks. Many towns have farmers’ markets, and you can ask if you can be put on the entertainment schedule. A restaurant in my town allows musicians to come in and play during dinner two or three nights a week. You can make money on donations from thosewho appreciate your performance.
7. Recycle : Look around your locality to find out whether or not there are recycling facilities. Many towns still have scrap metal recycling facilities that willpay you by the pound if you bring in metal. Additionally, if you live in a state where you pay a deposit for glass bottles, you can return the bottles for the deposit. Gather up bottles that other have thrown out and return them. Just be aware that it is illegal to do this across statelines.
8. Odd Jobs : You can usually be paid in cash for odd jobs. If you are knowledgeable about making repairs, yardwork or cleaning homes, you can make some quick cash for such jobs. If you have a truck, you can offer your services hauling awaydebris.
9. Serving and Bartending : When I was a waitress, I always had cash in my pocket. If I wanted extra cash, all I needed to do was pick up an extra shift and collect tips. Serving and bartending are two quick ways to make money. And they are jobs that you can do evenings and weekends.
10. Sell Your Stuff : Hold a yard sale , or sell your things online. Go through what you have, and decide what you can part with. Selling it can provide the means of a small amount of immediate money.
11. Pawn Your Stuff : If you don’t want to arrange a yard sale, you can pawn your stuff. In some cases, you are getting a loan that you have to pay back if you want your item back. However, if you don’t care about the item, you can simply take the cash and let the pawnshop keep it. Other pawn shops will buy items from you, and then re-sell them at a markup.
12. Store Returns : Did you buy something recently? Take it back. You will get full price if it is unused and unopened, and you have a receipt. Even store credit will help if there is something you actually need tobuy at the store.
13. Sell Your Unused Gift Cards : Ifyou have unused gift cards, you can put them up for sale on sites like eBay , Plastic Jungle and others. You won’t get the face value of what’s lefton your gift card, but if you won’t be using the card, and you need the cash, this could be a way to get the money youwant.
