Make Quick Cash While in College

In a bind and need some cash while in school? Need some extra money for the weekends? Check these ideas out to make an extra buck!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • time
  • effort
  1. Step 1

    The first step is to set your mind to making some extra money. If you are not driven, your earnings will not match your potential.

  2. Step 2

    Now, gather anything and everything you can afford to get rid of. Ask your friends if you can get rid of some of their junk for them. Once you've got your inventory, let's get started!

  3. Step 3

    Decide how you first want to sell all of your new inventory. My path of choice is Ebay, simply for ease of use. You can also use sites like Craigslist or Amazon depending on the item. For anything else that won't sell, try having a garage sell or even take it to a pawn shop.

  4. Step 4

    Finally, all you have to do is advertise and market your item. Don't be shy. The more people know about what you are trying to sell, the better your chances of actually selling it.

  5. Step 5

    If you can, try and make a routine of this. Before long, you will have a small business set up, and people will start looking to you to get rid of their stuff. This is where you can sell their stuff, but for a commission.

  6. Step 6

    Lastly, have fun, and enjoy your extra cash!

Tips & Warnings
  • Try and target the item you're selling to a certain group of people. (i.e. if it's a computer you're trying to sell, spend most of your time marketing it to 'computer geeks'.
  • This is not professional advice, act at your own risk.
