need to get some money fast?

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Need a some extra cash quick? Follow these steps, and you're bound to have some extra money by the end of the week. It may not be much, and it may not be reliable, but your options are limited if you're short on time.

  2. Step 2

    Consider part time labor. There are employment agencies that specialize in this type of arrangement. you can get paid at the end of each workday. The jobs you find through an agency can be different, but are usually in construction, factories, offices, and manufacturing. An alternative to finding day labor is to go where other tempt. laborers meet (usually street corners, or parking lots) and wait for employers (building contractors, landscapers, home owners and small business owners). If you go the non-agency route, you might get paid in cash. You can also check your local newspaper or internet classifieds to find quick labor deals, like painting, mowing, or moving work. When considering a temp. labor opportunity, keep in mind that less formal arrangements could result in you not getting paid or worse, you getting injured without any kind of worker compensation.

  3. Step 3

    selling stuff. You can look around to see if you can come up with stuff to sell at pawn shops, put an ad on local internet classifieds, or hold a yard sale in front of your house or on a busy street corner. Anything to bring people to you.

  4. Step 4

    Become a street performer. If you can dance, play music, or tell jokes, you can probably get some cash by performing in public. But don't do this unless you are actually good at it. Put together a good act and find a place to perform. Give people a dose of live entertainment, and hopefully they'll reward you with tips.

  5. Step 5

    Give plasma. Plasma is a component of blood, and the process is similar to donating blood. You're not permitted to actually sell your plasma, but you can be compensated for your time spent donating. Your blood is drawn, the plasma is separated, and the red blood cells are returned to your body. You can make US$20-30 per visit and give plasma twice a week, But you must be in good health.

on 6/11/2009 Good article but I'd consider revising getting money about plasma. Selling any body fluid or part (e.g., blood, breast milk, organ, etc.) is illegal and the people doing it should be fined. Otherwise, good article!
