Step 1
Hold a yard sale. This is the fastest way to make money. Just go through your house to find any unwanted items or things you haven't used in the last year. Ask family and friends if they have anything they could donate to your yard sale to make it bigger and more profitable. Choose a weekend date and hold your sale. Accept all offers to get rid of the junk you don't need. People love to bargain, so don't be offended by lower-priced offers. Just be glad you are getting some cash and making more room in your house.

Step 2
Ask the neighbors if they have any odd jobs you can do. In the fall you can make some money raking up the leaves. In the winter you can shovel snow to clear your neighbors' cars and walkways. In the summer you can mow lawns. The elderly will gladly pay you for these services since landscapers charge a fortune. You also get paid the same day you do the service, which makes it fast cash.

Step 3
Donate your plasma. It's called donating, but you are actually compensated for taking the time to come into the facility and have the procedure done. It's different from blood donations because your plasma is separated from the red blood cells, then the red blood cells are put back in to your body. You are allowed to donate your plasma twice per week. Each time you can make an average of $25, and you are paid on the spot, so it is a great way to make some fast cash.

Step 4
Promote online services. Often companies that are just starting out will pay you to advertise for them and bring them customers. Revolution Money Exchange, for instance, paid people $10 to try their free service and another $10 for every person they told about the service who signed up for a free account. Just by telling your family and friends, you can get hundreds of dollars. It's only a short-time deal, but the money is instant, which makes it a great thing to do when you need some money fast. Keep your eyes and ears open for new companies that you can become an affiliate for.

Step 5
Recycle your soda cans. Some states pay 5 to 10 cents for each soda can you bring them. Take some trash bags around town and ask people to donate their cans to you. One day's work can easily get you $50 to $100. Recycling plants pay cash when the cans are brought in, so it is a great way to get money fast.

Step 6
Write articles online. There are plenty of websites that pay cash for articles. If you can write, you can make some cash within a week. After you write the article, you have to wait for the article to be edited and then approved for publication. This usually takes a few days. You are then marked for payment, which takes another few days. Within 1 week you should have your cash deposited in to your PayPal account. If you have a PayPal debit card, you can access your cash instantly.

Step 7
Use an online survey site. There are two survey sites that pay within hours: GangsterGreed and CashLagoon. Both are free to join and use. Once you have completed all the surveys you want, you can click "Cash Out," and within a few hours you will have your cash in your PayPal account. Again, you can withdraw your money instantly from your PayPal account if you have a PayPal debit card.
