Do you know of any ways to make quick money?

Asked by Brew805 (150points) May 14th, 2008

I’m unemployed and leaving in three weeks for a job. I need money before then. Would you happen to know any places I should check out or ways to make money? I do not have a lawn mower.

Go to a temp agency or day labor place.

I think you can make 40 bucks or so each time you give blood and plasma.

yeah, just do some day labour, im sure there’s something you can do in those weeks, you could also record some pornography, although you’ll have to calculate in the time for Post-Production and distribution…

I would go the Temp Agency route first. Then try Manpower and finally if all else fails day labor. There are horrible backbreaking gigs that occur with the latter. When I temp’d, I had good luck with Office Team. Don’t be put off by name if you don’t have office skills, they have light warehouse and other types of jobs. If you have programming skills, they have a sister company that does technical placements. One as short as what you need might be hard to find though. Check out Robert Half International (the parent company).

I have also worked with varying degrees of success (depending on the office) for Kelly Services, who also handle all types of work not just office and are national.

Good luck!

Since you’re moving, carefully go through all your stuff before you pack and have a yard sale.

Offer to do chores for any older people in the neighborhood. My handyman (when he bothers to show up) gets $20/hr. Your time is limited and you want cash-in-hand.

wow, so many different and great ideas, thanks a lot everyone!

i bet he’s going for my idea, already picked up the camera and called some friends, just a few tips

- if you have an ugly couch, please put a blanket over it
– hire someone else to be the jizzmopper, you don’t want to end up doing that
– always check the lightning, that makes or breakes any scene
– always keep the records in a safe place, so you can always prove all actors are over 18
– don’t use a van, too cliché

well, that should get you on your way, don’t forget to mention me in the credits!

In three weeks? All Brew wants is a little ready money, not a global conglomerate.
