How to Make Quick Cash Now

It's almost a given that the majority of us have been in situations at various points in our lives where we needed to make quick cash now. Life happens and wrecks the best of budgets at times, but don't let this discourage you. Here are several tips to help you make quick cash now, when you really need it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Make quick cash now by walking into the nearest pawn shop and pawning something of value. Before you do this, be aware that pawn shops should offer you an average of half the current value of an item.
   
   Note also the interest charged on this typically 30-day loan which is often much less than a cash advance on a credit card. Just make sure you pick up the item before time is up and have your interest money ready.

2. Visit an area blood plasma donation center and sell your blood plasma. Earn an average $25 to $50 for donating your plasma in approximately two hours and you can donate every 72 hours. Prepare to sell plasma by drinking lots of liquids to prevent dehydration.
   
   Make a note if this is your first time donating, the process will take longer as you will be tested for major diseases. Also be aware if you've recently had a tattoo or piercing, you may not be allowed to donate. Locate the nearest plasma donation center by going to: bloodbanker.com/plasma and entering your zip code.

3. Look over your household furnishings, unused gift cards or maybe a collection you are ready to part with and sell it on Craigslist. Take clear pictures, be very descriptive and list measurements if applicable. List free on Craigslist; this is a good way to make quick cash.

4. Make quick cash now by gathering all your recyclable items and cashing them in. Offer to mow a neighbor's lawn or shovel snow for quick cash too.
   
   There are many ways to make quick cash now to get you out of a temporary bind. Put on your thinking cap and look around you. You may be surprised at the fruitful ideas that pop into your head. Good Luck!

Tips & Warnings

• Borrow money from relatives or friends only as a last resort and after you've exhausted all other avenues. If you do borrow, however, pay back promptly as agreed upon. A few dollars isn't worth the loss of a valued relationship.
