Ideas to Make Fast Money

• If you need cash quickly to pay debts, make a purchase or pay for needed repairs to your home or vehicle, turn to one of many sources of fast money. Depending on how much time and effort you put into it, you could be earning hundreds of dollars per month through any of these part-time endeavors.

Sell Your Stuff

• If you have things sitting around your house that you no longer need, or even could just live without, sell them to get some fast cash. Many websites allow you to list items for sale either through auctions or direct sales where you arrange to meet the buyer in person. Sell books, electronics, furniture or even a car. If you have a lot of items you would like to sell, you could have a garage sale, which is less work than selling each item separately, but will not make as much money as you could selling the individual items.

Work Extra Hours

• You will not see the effect of working extra hours at your job until the next paycheck, but this is one of the simplest ways to increase your income without changing too much about your life. If you work a job that pays in cash on the spot, such as a food service job with cash tips, working extra shifts will pay off right away. If your job does not have extra hours available, consider getting a part-time job in your free time to make some extra money until your finances are back on track again.

Find Odd Jobs

• People in your neighborhood might be willing to pay you to perform services for them, such as cleaning their houses, maintaining their yards, walking their dogs or caring for their children. In many cases, these tasks can be regular jobs, providing you with continued income if you would like to keep working. Most odd jobs pay right away in cash and have flexible schedules so you can fit them into your busy life.

Sell Plasma

• Unlike blood banks, which might compensate donors with a slice of pizza, plasma banks pay cash for plasma donations. In addition, you can donate plasma up to twice per week because plasma replenishes quickly. Although the first appointment will take a couple hours, subsequent appointments usually last less than an hour, making this a quick source of money.
