Other Ways To Get $80 Fast
If a loan is not the direction you want to go or if you just want to find a way to pay your loan back early, here are some ways to get the 80 dollars that you need.
Make A One Time Donation
Plasma is in high demand because companies use it to make a number of life saving and therapeutic treatments. What you need to know about these companies is that they are not in the business for charity. That means they make money off of your plasma, so they will pay you for it and pay well. With first time donor bonuses, you can make well over the 80 dollars that you need.
The great thing about plasma donation is that your red blood cells are returned to you during the process. What that means is you are not tired after a donation like you would be when giving whole blood. It also means that you can donate up to twice a week, allowing you to earn over 700 dollars in your first month if you so choose.
Clean Up Some Scrap
Do you ever see scrap metal sitting on the side of the road or parked on the curb on trash day? You can profit off of it and possibly get all of the 80 dollars that you need.
Believe it or not, scrap metal is big business and it can go for up to 3 dollars a pound, depending on the type. It is amazingly easy to cash in, if you are willing to put in the work. Simply drive around your neighborhood on trash day or look for free listings on websites like Craigslist. Collect your metal and then take it to a local recycler who will pay you by the pound for it.
Visit An ecoATM
Not a cash ATM, an ecoATM. These are machines that are set up in local businesses, usually grocery stores that allow you to sell your old phones and smart devices. Simply plug your device in to the machine and get a cash offer. Accept it and you could have 80 dollars or more in your hand in just minutes.
These machines are located in most cities, but if you do not have one, check out a company like Gazelle. They will also make you a cash offer, but you will have to mail your device in and wait a few days for your money. Still, if you have the time and a good used device, this is a great option.
Sell Something You Don’t Need
We all have something in our home that we just no longer need. It could be the arm chair that is just in the way, an exercise bike that currently functions as a clothes hanger or maybe a TV that never gets powered on anymore. Whatever the case, sell these items and score the money you need to handle your problem.
Selling is easy with the help of my favorite marketplace, Facebook. With the messenger service that you have access to, it is easier to connect with buyers than it is over email. If you have an item in demand and set the price right, you can have your 80 dollars in a matter of hours.
Take A Few Surveys
You really can make some money taking online surveys if you go about things the right way. Here is how you do it.
First, you need to realize that it will take you all day to make 80 dollars with surveys. Most survey websites pay around 100 to 200 points for a survey. That is 1 or 2 dollars, so you can see that this will be a slow process, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Next, you need to take every opportunity that is available. Don’t try to pick and choose surveys based on your interest, just do them all. Also, consider signing up for free trials if you know that you will remember to cancel. You can earn big points this way and cut back on the time it takes to get your money.
Get A Sign On Bonus
Companies are hurting for employees right now and if you find yourself in need of 80 bucks, you could probably use a better job. Why not solve both of your problems by getting a job with a sign on bonus.
Even if you are in a regular blue collar profession, signing bonuses are out there and they could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. As an added bonus, you might just score a hefty pay increase over what you are making right now. This is particularly true if you have not applied for a new position in several years because pay rates have gone up tremendously.
Ask A Buddy
That is what friends are for, right?
Asking a friend for the money you need can solve your problem, but there are some obvious risks, chiefly the risk of offending your friend. Reduce the risk of losing your friendship by simply making sure that you take the loan seriously. Pay the money back as soon as you have it and avoid making any unnecessary purchases until you have done so.
Asking your friend for a loan may not be the ideal solution, but if you are out of options, it sure beats not having the money.
