What are some good ways to make fast money?

Asked by ericmorris25 (92points) April 24th, 2020

I’m trying to move to the northern part of PA to take care of my mom but i’m currently unemployed, in college, and living in my car. I get $803.00 per month in disability. I also take survey’s online for money and other rewards. Is there any ways I may not be utilizing to make extra money. I also signed up for instacart and am in the process of being approved.

Selling plasma gets you decent money here and you can donate 3x a week I believe. Usually first time is close to $100. Can you sell the car to get ahead or buy a bus ticket?

What are your skills like?

Depending on what universities are nearby, there might be research studies you can participate in, some of which pay amounts that could be worth doing.

There are quite a few sites out there which have opportunities for small jobs, though it may take something to find them and they might not pay much each.

University bulletin boards may also have other opportunities for students to make money.

You have a car so you might be able to do deliveries for someone.

There are temp agencies that you can do individual projects for as they come up.

Craigslist “gigs” section.

Fiverr.com, if you have relevant skills.

Or web search articles like this one: https://www.doughroller.net/make-money/websites-offering-odd-jobs-that-make-money/

Use a ferrari as a getaway car in a robbery.

If you have a Ferrari, it’d be much easier and safer, and almost surely more profitable to sell it (even on the black market) than to use it as a robbery getaway car.

If you are on disability, how much help can you be to your mother?
Is your real deal a need to help her, or ask her for help?

^^^ My MIL is on Disability and she is a fulltime caregiver for her mother. They have daily assistance from IHSS, but a disabled person is very capable.
@ericmorris25 see if you can qualify for IHSS. They pay you to help your Mom.

@yarnlady, fine for your family, and so? My question is for clarification from OP.

Apply to be a contestant on a game show. Quick money.

Take a caregivers course and then take care of her.

I highly recommend the sex industry. I’ve written custom fetish erotica for 30 years now, and it’s good money, cash on the barrelhead. The sex industry is recession-proof, and since no one ever has “enough” erotica, the market is effectively infinite. The mainstream market is pretty saturated, so I would recommend seeking out and exploiting fringe fetishes, which is what I’ve done.

Over the last three decades, the Internet has allowed communities to accrete around very obscure fetishes which pop up so infrequently that only a few thousand people across the whole planet might have them. These fringe fetishes are not well-serviced already, so if you can find them they can be lucrative. These fetish communities include shrinking/growth, vore, living statue, mind control, snuffcan, flatphiles, stuckies, transformation, age regression/accession, gender swap, and lots of others.

If you’re any good at writing (and since you choose voluntarily to participate on a website centred entirely around writing), you should be able to make some money at it. I charge five cents a word for stories, with a minimum of 2000 words, but that’s top of the mark in terms of what you can charge, and I’m a professionally-published writer with decades of experience.

edit: Stay away from Fiverr. They’re scumbags. I made the mistake of signing up, but because I don’t have a cellphone and don’t participate in social media, they won’t accept that I exist. When I asked them to delete my user info, they continued to spam me with unwanted email for months until I threatened to take them to small claims court to make them stop.

You can take a quick bookkeeping class and as much accounting classes as you can stand/pass. It’s the fastest legal way to make money.
