What's the best idea you have to make some extra money fast?

Asked by Britcraft86 (61points) January 25th, 2010

With the way the economy is right now, it would be nice to make some extra cash. Right now I’m working at a bank, my boyfriend and I live comfortably but it would be nice to make some extra money. Got any ideas??

Look through your storages and closets and see what you can sell. Sell anything you don’t need or use anymore. I signed up at Pinecone Research, they pay for surveys. It’s not much – I get paid 3 bucks each survey or so but they can add up. Not to mention they send you free stuff to test out and let them know how you liked it!

@mowens Do you mean semen? or sailors?

Sell stuff. 80 percent of the things in your house are probably never used. And a good purge makes moving easier.

@stump I got auto corrected. :)

You could sell a bit of Avon on the side?
If there are people in your work that would be interested in the products, you could make a bit of extra cash by bringing in the catalogues and leaving them in your canteen, and letting people know you’re an avon rep….

Let your employer know you are interested in extra work, and see if they have some overtime for you.

The best ideas are already mentioned above – sell your excess stuff.

Nip down to the Federal Reserve Bank and ask them if you can use their photocopier.

trade in games at gamestop, they won’t give you a lot for them, in fact I can guarantee that you’ll probably only bring in no more than one fourth of what you originally paid for them in the first place, and only around half if they were new. But don’t get discouraged think about what what you may be desperately needing this money for in this sagging economy. Sacrifice is real these days, and we must prioritize, humble ourselves and cut off that extravagant extra member.

If you are attached to your games or feel insulted by the shark like ways of gamestop, check out ebay or amazon.

Comics won’t get you anymore than a few dollars “at a time,” especially if you had a large collection. If you live in NYC, call before you head out the door. I know Jim Hanley’s Universe has dealers and they want to see the quality and condition of you “collection” keep these things in mind when you are bartering and trading.

Good luck out there, for you and anyone considering bridging the gap between checks over a phone bill payment.

dig deep.
