Quick Money

For businesses, times can be tough and not all companies are doing as well as others. Some businesses cannot give out the amount of hours an employee might need. Thankfully there are other ways for someone to make money.

Some ways include:


  • Babysitting
  • Dog walking (Watch Pets)
  • Sell on ebay, Craigslist, Amazon, etc
  • Collect your change
  • Yard Sale
  • Pawn merchandise
  • Donate body parts

For some of these ideas, they are quite obvious. Babysitters and Pet sitters are always in demand. You can make flyers or talk to neighbors. Those jobs are not that difficult to come by. For babysitting the average pay is around $5-$9 an hour. The plus side to such jobs is that you do not have to pay taxes.

Selling merchandise or pawning items is only a good idea if you do not truly need or use the item. Selling off items to make fast money is not a good idea. At pawn shops, you can do a loan where you take about 10% of its value. You can either choose to redeem the loan, pay interest to keep the loan alive or forfeit the loan. 

Donating body parts usually includes donating to the sperm bank which for men can be about $40 per donation. Unfortunately, some sperm banks require a commitment period which is about 6 months to a year. Most sperm banks limit the man to 10 children or $6,000 a year. This is because most men donate for money rather then altruism.

Other body parts you can donate include female eggs. This process unlike sperm donation can be a bit more lengthy of a process. The process also comes with a lot of complication risks but the pay ranges from $3,000-$6,000 on average. Women should are limited also to how many times they can undergo this surgery.

These ideas are just simple easy ways to make money for someone who already may be working part time or full time but wants to make some extra money on the side.
