How to Make Cash Money Fast
Do not panic if you need cash fast today or tomorrow. You have options to get that cash, although the more days you have to work with, the better. What's more, you do not need a bank account in many situations. You could even turn your one-day get-cash-fast stint into a small business and a source of ongoing cash.

Sell your plasma at a plasma center, and you get cash immediately after the donation. If you pass the physical, you could end up with $100 or more. The first couple of donations might pay more; plasma centers want to get you in the door, so they might advertise with something like, "Sell your plasma today and get an extra $50." If you are interested in continuing donating, you have to donate twice a week. You get paid each time you donate. Some centers give you cash in person, while others have machines like ATMs. You use a card from the center to get cash from the machine.

Organize a yard sale, and you could have cash the next day. Take at least one day -- although as much lead time as possible is best -- to gather your items, price them and set up advertisement signs. Also, some localities require permits for yard sales. For more cash, talk with your neighbors about them joining in the sale. Offer to do some or the bulk of the work for them in exchange for a commission of their sales.

Babysit and do other odd jobs such as dog walking and mowing. This can also lead to same-day cash, but if you want cash on a continual basis, offer your services constantly.

Ask family or friends for a cash gift or a loan in cash. Explain why you need the cash and how you will repay it, if necessary. You can also go to your bank and get a loan to convert into cash.

Take convenience checks to the bank and cash them. Credit card companies mail you these blank checks, and you can write in an amount and cash them. Be very careful, however. Read the fine print for fees and for when the promotion ends and the loan is due. Be aware that if you miss a payment, you'll end up paying a lot more than you cashed the check for.

Sell your video games, video game systems, other electronics and books. Many used-game stores and bookstores give you cash for your items. You can also pawn other possessions at pawn shops and possibly even get them back later.

Perform. If you have a special skill or talent such as guitar, drawing or mime, set up space on a sidewalk, as long as your locality allows this. Have a hat or drop box for donations from passersby who appreciated your performance.
