How to Make Money Fast

If you are in a situation where you need to come up with some cash in a hurry, what do you do? Here are some suggestions that can make money fast when you are in a crunch:

1. Hold a garage sale.

Most people have a number of items in their home that they don't use anymore or that they simply don't have room for. Go through your home and gather up all of these things. Make up a sign or place an ad in your local paper to let people know about your sale. Not only will you have a lot less clutter in your home once the sale is over, but you will have earned some money in the process.

2. Sell unwanted items on eBay.

Another place to dispose of unwanted items is by selling them on eBay. You will have a better chance of selling your things if you include an image on the site. eBay is designed to be quite easy for new users to get started; if you get stuck, check out the interactive Help available.

3. Put an ad on Craigslist.

Placing an ad on Craigslist is another way to sell your stuff for cash. Since Craigslist is divided by city, this is an easy way to target local buyers.

4. Deliver fast food.

Delivering pizzas or Chinese food may not be the most glamorous way to make money in a hurry, but you will get paid cash nightly. In addition, you have the opportunity to make money in tips.

4. Sign up at an employment agency.

If you are looking for work "right now," consider doing some temporary work. You will get paid every week and it could be a stepping-stone for other, more lucrative work. Temporary work is not limited to clerical work only; these agencies often have openings for day laborers, warehouse workers, order pickers, inventory takers, and the like.

5. Sign up for online paid surveys.

Do a little digging to find online survey companies that pay in cash. Skip over the opportunities that only give you an entry in a sweepstakes. However, if the survey offers a prize, it might be worth taking; you can always sell the prize to raise some cash.

6. Offer childcare services from your home.

If you are at home with your children anyway, you can bring in some money by offering to care for other people's children as well. Put up a sign at a local mall, school, or community bulletin board offering your services.

7. Offer to do odd jobs.

If you are able to shovel snow, mow lawns, clean out garages or attics, you should be able to find someone in the neighborhood who needs these types of things done. Once again, put up signs or distribute flyers in your neighborhood to attract potential customers.

There are many ways you can make money fast when you need to. You might decide to sell something you own or use the skills you already have to reach this goal. The important thing to remember when money gets tight is that you do have options, if you let yourself be creative.

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.
Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Business magazines - Fast Company is pretty good if you're into technology although it can be very on the edge. Entrepreneur has become one giant advertisement and I cancelled my subscription. Selling Power also has some useful content if you're looking at improving your sales skills / presentations.
