Do you mean other than getting a job?

Have a garage sale or sell some old stuff on ebay.
Donate blood.

Sell lemonade.
If there were ways to make easy money, and plenty of it, i think that most of us were now drinking cocktails on a tropical island.

There are lots of bodily fluids and/or organs you can sell.
You can also sell your “services”*.

Run out into the middle of the street.

If you survive, sue.

Do what I did. Walk around and ask if the neighbors lawn needed to be mowed or their car needs to be washed.

I did pretty well in the 7th grade doing this. Do a good job and they will sometimes ask you to come back on a schedule.

I was making about a hundred bucks every weekend doing this.

Sell baked goods on your sidewalk.

Nestle toll house cookies cost around 12.5 cents each to make, selling at 25c each would yield a 100% profit margin. =)

“baked” goods…
I gotcha…;)

Buy a product, such as candy bars in bulk, then sell them for double what you paid for them.

I pay the neighborhood kids $10 an hour to help me do yard work, but it’s very hard work, digging up weeds and such.

I’ve read that you can make $20 – $50 a day standing on a corner asking other people for money, but you also stand a chance of getting beat up and robbed.

You might get a pet shop or veterinarian shop to pay you to help with the animals, or maybe one of your neighbors.

One of my neighbors pays kids to water her lawn for her.

Rapid Web Development – $35/hr.

but it requires knowledge and isn’t exactly quick. So it’s not easy money. There’s actually no such thing as easy money except maybe gambling

Whore yourself out. If you’re a guy, that means physical labor. It’s summertime, you can probably get a temp job hauling bricks for a patio company or something. Walk dogs, cut lawns, etc. With no skills and no time for commitment to a company, you’re left with doing hard work to get money.

I know a guy who earns money selling his plasma twice a month. He looks really pale and sickly, but it earns the cash he needs to go to the movies.
