How can I make money fast?

I need about $150. Does anybody know of any ways that I can come up with this without getting a job?

Sell/pawn something (of yours).

You can’t make money fast, but you can encourage it to fast by not feeding it.

heh…:slight_smile:

How about selling your plasma? $40 and a giant piece of cake that will knock your socks off. (I can’t confirm the plasma centers pay that much everywhere. It only paid $12 when I did it. But I’ve seen ads in the paper that claim it’s now $40) You can sell several times in a specific time frame. I had to do this once when I got busted in college & needed some dough to pay the fine. Sometimes it takes a couple hours though, and the place can be crawling with unbathed homeless. But you did say you needed the money

First you wanted to know how to get a special effects death dummmy a week ago and now you need a quick $ 150.00.

What are you up to Spluurtaf?!

Off the top of my head:

Join eight to ten pay-to-surf programs and run them all simultaneously.

Save the money by buying a huge bag of rice at a warehouse store and live off it for a few weeks.

Get a cash advance on your credit card.

Join online casinos. Many give you $40 in chips to join – just make the minimum number of bids, then cash out.

Become a male prostitute.

Join a few book and music clubs. Cancel after receiving your sign up bonus of 3 books for $.99 (or whatever), then sell them on ebay.

When at the home of friends of relatives, quietly search the couch for loose change when they’re not looking.

Dang. I could swear I have an email or two sitting around here somewhere that offer advice on just this subject. Now where did I put them?

Go out on the street and perform!

Get a job? If you’re paid $8/hour, eight hours a day, then subtract 25% for taxes (and other withholding), you’ll get a cheque for $240 for a week’s work. I was in San Diego over the weekend and saw a job in a gas station that paid $7/hour. Shouldn’t be too difficult.

If you already have a job, don’t spend so much. Or get a second job until you have the money you need.

As soon as I get a job in Seattle, you can have my job in Orange, CA. :wink:

Make $150? Have you tried a color copier? :slight_smile: (My little sister knew someone who got kicked out of her high school for trying this, but I don’t think he/she got prison time… How bone-headed can you get?)

How 'bout the military? (“It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.”)

Sell your special effects dummy? (Or are you trying to buy one?)

Oh, and there are these little things called credit cards… But I should probably assume you are too young to have one, in which case you’ll have to come to the realization that very rarely in life will you ever get something for nothing. Which begs the questions, what are you willing to sacrifice for the value of $150? Your time and possessions are the most obvious sacrifices. Loss of dignity (begging/street performance) and risk of a lengthy prison sentence are sacrifices most people aren’t willing to make.

But if you are willing to go for the former, you may want to stop buy and visit the boys at http://www.ibetyouwill.com

Possible revenue generating activities:

Of course, I am not recommending that you participate in any of the above activities if they are illegal in your jurisdiction.

Getting a job is by far the simplest way.

Go to your favorite search engine, search for “make”, “money” and “fast”. I got 18,353 pages found using Alta Vista. Try tem all; They can’t all be scams. :wink:

go out and blow about $300. i herd somewhere you got to spend money to make it.

redeem 3,000 cans/bottles

It’s only 1,500 here in Michigan… (10 cent deposit here–we like to think we’re special :)) Ever see the Seinfeld episode?

Use a Do-It-Yourself Money Kit in your basement on rainy Sunday afternoons.

Regarding pkbites’ advice, you can’t sell your plasma. They stopped buying it years ago because all they ever got were drug addicts who needed money (can’t give patients tainted blood). You can still sell your splooge, though (couldn’t resist the alliteration). Last quote I heard was $50 per treatment (heard it from my religion teacher freshman year High School, Fr. Garvey . . . love that guy.) Unfortunately, the process takes a while and involves blood tests and the like before they let you donate.

Sell one of your kidneys, or an eye.
