Need Money Desperately?

So are you ready to get that cash? There are a lot of interesting ways to make money in a hurry, so if you desperately need money, we can help. Let’s get started.

  1. Donate Plasma
    You can make up to $50 a session donating plasma and you can do it up to twice a week. This means that you can earn as much as $400 in a single month all the while helping people out.
    Since plasma is needed for a number of life saving procedures and products, you would really be doing something quite good.
  2. Sell On Facebook Marketplace
    A relative newcomer to the field of online classified, Facebook Marketplace has turned into a great place to sell. If you have a few items that you no longer need, list them and you will probably find that they sell rather quickly.
    The good thing about this sales outlet is that there tends to be less spammers. They are out there mind you, but they do not seem as prevalent as they are on Craigslist.
  3. Collect Scrap Metal
    Almost every major city has a few metal recycler’s and they need scrap metal. Collect it and cash in by the pound. Think big, not just aluminum cans. They also need aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc. What’s even better is that a lot of this stuff is simply discarded on the side of the road or the trash. Pick it up, sell it and make money while helping the environment.
  4. Turn In Used Clothing
    If you have a lot of slightly used designer clothing or handbags, you can cash in on them. Resale shops would love to have them and give you store credit or cash in return. Take the cash.
  5. Recycle Your Cell Phones
    If you are like most people, you have one or two extra cell phones lying around. Sure, it is nice to have a back up but realistically, you will never use it. Sell it to Gazelle while it is still worth a few dollars. Mail it to them and get money or use one of their ecoATM’s and get cash instantly.
  6. Walk Some Pooches
    If you like dogs, you can make a nice side income by walking them or even boarding them in your home. Sign up with Rover and gain access to a huge pool of consumers looking for someone to care for their dear pet. Easily make $15 for a single walking and much more for boarding.
  7. Dump Your Junk On Craigslist
    Although full of spammers, this still remains one of the easiest places to sell your stuff. High interest items can sell in a manner of hours for cold hard cash. Things like furniture, appliances and tools move especially quick.
    When selling on Craigslist, be sure to only accept cash and meet in a busy area during the daytime.
  8. Shuttle People Around
    If you have a 4 door car and a knowledge of the city, put these things to good use. You could drive for Uber or Lyft and make as much as $25 an hour. Work just 8 hours and that is an easy 200 dollars.
  9. Move Your Electronics On eBay
    If you have high end electronics such as iPads or laptop computers, you will get far more money selling them online than you will locally. You might only get $300 for that computer locally but get a fast $500 online. Sell them with an online auction on eBay and get top dollar, just be prepared to ship them out quickly.
  10. Start A Side Business
    With minimal or even no investment, you could start a profitable side business. Maid services, lawn care companies, painting services, etc. These things require very little equipment to get started and you might even already own what you need. Advertise your services on Facebook or Craigslist for free and get started.
