It happens to all of us to need some money quick. Maybe something broke on your car, or you forgot to pay a bill or something at your house. I remember a few years ago, in the middle of the winter our heater broke down and we had to pay about $500 for the pice that broke. I was lucky enough to have the money and pay on the same day. This is a situation that you can’t postpone for later. The best thing to do is to keep an emergency fund of at least $1000.
But if you need the money right now, and don’t have the time to make that emergency fund, I made a list with 10 quick ways to make money fast. Some of the following ideas will only take a little bit of work and put thousands of dollars in your pocket.
I have to chose the word “Fast” because many of these quick cash ideas will put money in your pocket today.
1. Rent a room in your home.
Renting a room in your house will not make you rich, but will definitely put you some extra money in your pocket. A median monthly income for an Airbnb user is $924, but I have some friends who are renting out rooms and making thousands of dollars each month. All you have to do is to create an Airbnb account, add some photos and some information about the room, and you are ready to go.
2. Answer surveys online
This method requires about a month until you get the first check or payment. The best site for online surveys is Swagbucks. You can create a free account and start making money right away.
3. Sell your photos
Do you enjoy photography? Even if you are not a professional photographer, you can still make extra money selling pictures you have taken. There are a few websites who pay you based on how often your work is downloaded. The best site for selling your photos is Shutterstock.
4. Review websites & apps for cash
For every website owner, is very important to know that their website is user-friendly. That is why companies will pay good money for people to review their website. To test we from home you will need some basic equipment like a computer with a microphone and an internet connection. Most of the reviews require between 5-25 minutes to complete and pay about $10 per test. If you want to test out websites from home, here it is the best website to check out: Respondent
5. Become a virtual assistant
A virtual assistant is someone who does work online for someone else. Tasks are usually very easy to do and just need time. Writing, editing, reading and answer emails, manage a Facebook or Instagram page. You can post a short summary about you and what would like to do on some freelance websites, and wait for the people to contact you.
6. Walk dogs
Yes, walking dogs for money is a real thing. Check out rover.com to get the scoop.
7. Clean homes
If all the above doesn’t really suit you, then consider cleaning homes for money. It’s an easy job to get and it pays okay for what you do. You can use websites like Craigslist to offer your services or check out HomeJoy.
8. Become A Proofreader
There is a huge open market for proofreaders, so if you are an apassionate reader and want to correct every comma or grammar mistake in online articles, books or newspapers then you might be rhe right person for this kind of job. Proofreading Services is a great website to start.
9. In-Home Childcare
If you love children and want to make an impact on a young life, this is a great opportunity to work from home. You can use Care.com to market yourself, set your own price and start making money.
10. Do Laundry
Yes, that’s right, Laundry. You can make up to $500 a week doing it. It’s an ongoing chore that we all do, but some don’t have the time but do have the money so outsourcing is the normal way. Joinlaundrycare.biz is the website where you can apply for this job and start making money.
But the best way to earn money is to make your own blog. You need to invest just about $200, to get a hosting and some graphics from Fiverr. Because I brought the hosting plan from Bluehost, I got the domain for free. You can start your own blog and if you are using this link to sign up on Bluehost, you will also get a free domain. Also, if you need help, you can check out my free tutorial about how to start a blog very easy.
Nice way to earn money. Thanks for sharing this post.
