Any quick ways to make 300 dollars?

Asked by confuzzlement (274points) August 20th, 2011

We need the cash fast, but cant take out any loans.
Will not consider prostitution, or drug dealing.
Legal ways please… :)

How old are you? You could walk around town and ask people if they need lawn care or offer mowing their lawns. With a few lawns, you’ll have $300 within a couple weeks.

If you have a checking account, you could go to a cash-advance place and get the money.

Sell a kidney.

Here for $15/hour, you could weed, prune, edge, clip and mulch people’s gardens and property. That’s 20 hours = three easy days.

If you are a youngish teen or pre teen then go around your neighborhood and offer to scrub out people’s curbside trash cans for $10. Offer to scrub the recycle bin for free since it’s usually cleaner and offering two cans cleaned for $10. will inspire people to want to help you and maybe even give you some extra for tip. All you’ll need is a straw broom, some powder laundry detergent and the people yard hose.

If people have animals, offer to pick up poops for $10. If anyone came to my door and offered that, I’d pay them a $20. Few people want to pick up poops from the yard when they can stay inside in a/c and get other stuff done.

Another way is to offer to clean folks gutters.

Obviously there are no jellies on my street who want to make a quick $20.00, the poops are still out there.

@Coloma
Haha! Great, but I’m probably in the wrong country.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I live in the middle of nowhere though, so I’d be mowing 3 or 4 acre fields.

Craigslist? Or even a yard sale.
