Ideas If You Need Money Today:
Sell Items On Craigslist: If you
live in a large city or town then selling items on Craigslist is easy.
There are lots of people searching for items every day and this can lead
to some quick sales. Check your house/apartment for unused items that
you could sell quickly.
Donate Blood For Money: Donating blood for money is
easy to do and you’ll get paid the same day. The first appointment will
take anywhere from 2-3hrs but after that you can donate up to twice per
week and it will only take ~1hr. At $25-$50 per donation this is
perfect if you need money today.
Special Ad: Get cash in a flash with Check Into Cash
Seasonal Chores: Whether its spring, summer, fall or winter there are always some seasonal chores that homeowners need help with.
Walk around your neighbourhood and go door-to-door offering your
services on the spot. This works especially well when you can see long
grass, large piles of leaves or snow that need to be cleaned/cut.
Baby Sitting: It can be easy to make money babysitting.
Reach out to your network and see if anyone needs a babysitter for the
night. Try posting on Facebook/Twitter to see if anyone is in need of
some help.
Payday Loan Alternatives: Check out this list of payday loan alternatives . Try things like getting a personal loan from a credit union or bank.
Sell Those Gift Cards: Do you have any gift cards laying around? Apparently there is $41 billion in unclaimed gift cards
out there. Take a look around your home. Then sell these gift cards for
cash on Craigslist. If you’re feeling bold you could also go to the
store and ask customers if they would like to buy the gift card on the
spot for 80-90% of the value.
Employer Cash Advance: Ask your
employer if they would mind giving you a cash advance on your next
paycheck. This amount would then get deducted off your next pay.
Busking For Money: If you can play
an instrument or have a fun talent then try busking for money. Buskers
can make $100+ in just a few hours with the right location. Read our
recent post for more info on how to busk for money.
Freelance Delivery Service: Do you
have a truck or trailer? Try advertising your services on Craigslist
where people are already buying/selling large items. There are plenty of
people who will pay $20-$50 to have someone move their purchases.
Ask Friends/Family: Probably a
last resort for many people but a personal loan from friends or family
could be an option if you need money today. If you want to make it more
formal then use a loan agreement to specify the amount and date of
repayment. These templates can be found online or you can create your
own.
