It happens to just about all of us at one point in time. We find ourselves in some serious need for some cash and fast! Read on for 15 ways you can make $100 and fast!
1. Earn money doing surveys and reading email online. I know what you are thinking, “Yeah, right”. I have thought that too. The website I am telling you about is one that I have used for years and one that I personally know is legit. There are a lot that isn’t so you do have to use caution when looking for pay to read email and survey websites. MyPoints is a great way to earn some extra money. They will send you several emails a day when you click on them you get around 5 points. If you sign up at the website they are advertising you can get up to 25 points. They also give you points per dollar when shopping online. So if you are already looking to buy something online check their list and see if you can get points for shopping. Might as well make money while your spending money! It doesn’t take too long to earn several points and once you do you can cash them in for gift cards to several stores and restaurants.
2. Using coupons may not “make” you money, per say, but it will keep the money you already make in your pocket and out of the cash register. You can find coupons in every Sunday paper. Ask around to see if your family and friends have coupons they will never use that you can have. You can also find printable coupons online. One more suggestion: watch Extreme Couponing on TLC. That show is a great motivator on saving money! Those people are awesome!
3. Waitressing is another great way to earn fast cash. Depending on the restaurant, you can make up to $200 a night in tips alone! I always say the more expensive the restaurant the better tips you will receive.
4. Sell your junk! You know that one mans junk is another mans treasure so utilize websites like Ebay and Craigslist to sell some of your items you no longer use. You can try Pawn Shops to sell your jewelry and a ton of other stuff.
5. Try babysitting. You can do this full time in your home as a daycare or just make yourself available to babysit on weekends. Have your friends and family use word of mouth to tell others about you.
6. Have a yard sale! You can make quite a bit of money over one weekend having a yard sale. You can sell everything from furniture to kids toys.
7. Use your talents. If you have musical skills try teaching others. You can offer lessons and teach others what you know. Do you play the piano or guitar? Start teaching lessons and make money doing what you love!
8. Along the same lines as lessons try offering a music school. You can hold a music school for one week just teaching the basics of music. This will give children and adults alike a chance to see if it is for them and help them to know if they wish to pursue it further.
9. Use your hobbies to make extra money. If you scrapbook you could host a scrapbooking lesson or two and teach others your specialty. If you make crafts try selling them.
10. Do you like photography? Try selling some of your photos. You can also offer your services to photograph different occasions and make money taking pictures.
11. Be a pet sitter!
12. Recycle scrap metal. Most every town has a scrap metal business nearby. You can take your old washers, dryers, swingsets and more and get paid for your unusable junk. Make money and at the same time clean up your clutter.
13. Mow for others. Especially during the summer months you can make quite a good living mowing grass for other people. You might can even get businesses to let you mow for them.
14. Clean houses. Cleaning houses is a pretty lucrative business! When you look at it by the hour you can make up to $20 cleaning other peoples houses and even businesses!
15. Do you like to sew? Offer your services to others by offering to hem and mend their garments. Most people don’t have a clue how to sew and need someone just like you!
Just remember, when it comes to making extra money think outside the box. Think about what you love doing and what you are passionate about and how you can use what you love to make money.
