How to Make Money Fast
Sell things you no longer need. Dig out that old guitar you never play, those CDs you don't listen to anymore, or your antique toy collection. Go to the pawnshop, put an ad on local internet classifieds, or hold a yard sale in front of your house or on a busy street corner (just display the item with a big sign announcing the ridiculously low price). Price items at half of what somebody would be able to buy them for anywhere else, and you may be able to sell them within an hour or two.

If you don’t want to part with your CDs or DVDs, burn yourself copies (or even just back them up in digital format on your computer) and then sell the originals. Do not sell the copies!
Consider whether or not to sell items online at auction websites like eBay, or more generalist sites like Amazon. If you do, choose a fast end time for the auction or trade, or choose "buy it now" to encourage a swift turnaround. However, if you want cash in your hands quickly, you might want to arrange a sale with someone locally.
2
Sell crafts. If you're a dab hand at making something quickly that people want, do so and sell it either online (sites like Etsy are great for handmade goodies) or at local craft fairs or other community-based sales.
If you don’t have time to make anything fancy, break glass bottles of various colors, put them through a rock tumbler, and sell bags of it as beach glass. Bits of frosted glass like this look great in clear vases to prop up dried flower stems, for example. You can also sell something you find growing outside. Pressed wildflowers, dried vines, branches, or Chinese lanterns, or even long/large pinecones can fetch a tidy sum if you sell a lot of them individually.
3
Sell stock photos. Stock photos are relatively easy to take and, once you’ve posted them to your stock-photo account, can make money fairly passively.
4
Sell scavenged valuables. If you have a metal detector, go to public places (especially parks, beaches, and other areas where people are likely to drop something unnoticed) and look for jewelry and other goods.
5
Sell things walking about the roadside. Entrepreneurial sorts sell things like cold drinks on hot days or hot nuts in winter. But it can be dangerous work and it may be illegal, so check the laws and watch the traffic with great care. A safer option is a roadside stall, where people have to park the car and come and see your wares.
6
"Donate" plasma. Plasma is a component of blood, and the process is similar to donating blood. You're not permitted to actually sell your plasma, but you can be compensated for your time spent donating (and essentially, it's like selling your plasma). Your blood is drawn, the plasma is separated, and the red blood cells are returned to your body. In the United States, you can make US$20-30 per visit and give plasma twice a week, but you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be between the ages of 18 and 59, and be in good health.[1] Many college students do this to make extra cash.[2] If you haven't been to the doctor in a while, this may be a good way to get a free health checkup.[3]
7
Sell your hair. If your hair is healthy, untreated, and longer than 10in (25cm), you can sell it for hundreds of dollars – or possibly thousands if it’s a superb length and color.
8
Flip products. Flipping is simply buying something and then selling it for more. Some people flip items by investing a lot of time and effort into repairs, but it’s also possible to flip simply by finding good deals.
Flip web domains. Research keywords, topics, or industries that are trending, buy relevant domain names, and sell them to interested parties. Watch for businesses that open up in your area, snag that domain name before they do, and offer to sell it to them (for a reasonable price – or you’ll risk sabotaging the deal and ending up with nothing). People who get good at this can actually make a nice income from it – or occasionally strike it rich by buying a name out from underneath a big player.
Flip thrift-store, yard-sale, and police-auction purchases. Even if you don’t know the first thing about jewelry or antiques, sometimes being the first one to show up is all it takes to find a steal.
Flip wholesale items. If you can get a deal on wholesale items (especially if you know or are willing to make friends with a wholesaler), selling them individually online – even for only a few dollars more apiece – can really add up.
9
Open a lemonade stand.
Open a lemonade stand.
Open a lemonade stand. Especially if you're a kid, a lemonade stand or baked goods stand can bring in good money in one day. If the lemonade isn't selling, or you want to diversify, sell cookies and brownies as well. The important thing here is to find a good location, like the main entrance to an apartment building, outside a shopping center, on a busy corner near your house, or outside one of your parents’ workplaces (if you're a kid; otherwise you might get in trouble).
Make Money Online or On Your Phone
1
Find small paid tasks via apps. There are several money-making apps including WeReward, CheckPoints, and GigWalk that will either pay you for doing marketing tasks (ex. scanning products at a grocery store) or connect you with someone who wants a more extensive project accomplished.
2
Fill out online surveys. These usually only pay a few dollars apiece, but they are also short and require very little effort. Read How to Make Money with Free Online Surveys for more information.
3
Enter sweepstakes.
Enter sweepstakes.
Enter sweepstakes. By choosing sweepstakes carefully, you can increase your likelihood of hitting the jackpot (or at least getting a few useful freebies that you can sell, as mentioned above). Search the internet––there are even internet databases, some free and some by subscription only, that can clue you in to hundreds or thousands of sweepstakes. Sweepstakes with smaller prizes can be great because you generally have a more realistic chance of winning. Don't, however, waste your time entering a sweepstakes for a prize you don't want and can't easily sell for a good profit. Enter as many times as possible. The more times you enter, the better your odds. It's as simple as that. Before you send in a million entries, however, make sure you know how many entries the rules allow you.
Recycle
1
One person's trash is another's gold mine.
One person's trash is another's gold mine.
Recycle bottles and cans. Host a bring-your-own-beverage party and when the party’s over, gather all the bottles and cans and turn them in for cash; if you live in a state with a bottle or can deposit system, you may be able to get 5 or 10 US cents per container. You can also go looking for them in trash cans or along busy roads, especially rural ones.
2
Scrap a junk pile. Everyone knows you can turn bottles and cans into cash by bringing them in to be recycled, but other metals such as scrap steel (worth anywhere between 1 or 2 cents per pound) or as copper or aluminum (worth considerably more) can also fetch good prices.[4] If you've got a big pile of scrap in your backyard, own a junked camper or other vehicle, or know of an illegal dumpsite, you can sort and sell it.
3
Scrap a worthless computer. Computers are full of valuable metals (ex. tower cases are usually made of steel and/or aluminum, plus the CPUs, RAM, motherboards, and PCIs all contain gold). If possible, amass a good pile of these parts (offer to take outdated computers off the hands of a building or school doing considerable upgrades or find junked computers in the fee ads, for example) and sell them in bulk, which will make you more money. Don’t scrap good computers; what you get for the scrap probably won’t be as much as you get for components in working order.[5]
4
Hunt for pre-1982 pennies. These contain considerable amounts of copper (whereas newer ones are alloyed with zinc to cut costs) and are worth more than a cent apiece. Buy rolls of pennies at the bank, sort them to find older coins, then return the ones you don’t want. Read How to Hoard Copper Pennies for more information.
5
Hunt for pre-1964 silver half dollars. These are 90% silver and are worth more than fifty cents apiece. As with pennies, buy rolls of silver dollars at the bank and keep only the most valuable ones. Read How to Find Silver Half Dollars for more information.
Become a Moving Advertisement
1
Wrap” your car in an advertisement.
Wrap” your car in an advertisement.
“Wrap” your car in an advertisement. There are companies with bumper sticker programs as well.
2
Wear t-shirts, clothes, costumes that advertise a business. In addition to receiving a free t-shirt, you can get paid for every day that you wear the shirt to a public, conspicuous place.
3
Get a temporary tattoo on your forehead, a pregnant belly, or other body parts. Auction off a body parts for advertising space to the highest bidder. [6][7]
Do Odd Jobs
1
Find focus groups in your area. Monitor local postings or search a site like FindFocusGroups.com to find a focus group in your area that you are eligible to participate in. Check frequently; though the pay tends to be excellent, they are less frequent than many other opportunities.
2
Board someone’s pet. Find a friend or a friend-of-a-friend who’s going out of town and offer to take care of their pet while they’re gone. Professional boarding places tend to be very expensive (not to mention impersonal and intimidating for a pet), so your cozy little house or apartment may seem like a very nice alternative. Around the holidays, pet-boarders fill up quickly, meaning you can probably charge more.
3
Consider day labor.
Consider day labor.
Consider day labor. There are employment agencies that specialize in this type of arrangement, and you can get paid at the end of the workday. The jobs you find through an agency can vary, but are usually in construction, factories, offices, and manufacturing. An alternative to finding day labor is to go where other day laborers meet (usually street corners or parking lots) and wait for employers (building contractors, landscapers, home owners and small business owners).
Check your local newspaper or internet classifieds to find quick labor gigs, like painting, mowing, or moving work. Amazon Mechanical Turk is reliable and has lots of postings, but the pay tends to be low.
Consider whether or not to go through an agency. If you go the non-agency route, you might get paid in cash – but keep in mind that less formal arrangements could result in your not getting paid or, worse, getting injured without any kind of compensation.
Don't be shy about doing odd jobs. Lawn-mowing, babysitting, hedge-trimming, dog-walking, house-sitting, and de-cluttering can all serve as quick ways of getting cash.
4
Become a street performer.
Become a street performer.
Become a street performer. If you can dance, play music, mime, sing, or tell jokes, you can probably get some cash by performing in public. But don't do this unless you are actually good at it. Put together a good act and find a place to perform. Give people a dose of live entertainment, and hopefully they'll reward you with tips.
If there is a group of you trying to find quick money, put together a quick skit for a bit of street theater .
Sometimes you can combine something for free with a request for a donation "as wished". For example, give out free hugs but suggest to people that a donation would be appreciated. Don't push it though!
Always check the bylaws before performing in a public space.
5
Panhandle.
Panhandle.
Panhandle. A panhandler is a person who depends on the spontaneous charity of strangers for their survival. If you really need the cash, you might swallow your pride and decide to ask for help. Make a sign, find a good location, ask politely for money, and say thank you. A sign that is witty or details something interesting is more likely to have people stop and help than one filled with a litany of complaints about being down and out.
Cyberbegging is becoming increasingly popular, and there have been some amazing success stories, but these are the exception rather than the rule. While there are some sites on which you can beg just by putting up a brief ad, if you're looking to make any substantial money you'll probably have to build your own site and invest the time and money into it to make it successful. Moreover, cyberbegging really annoys some people and you may get bad social media feedback.
Be sure that panhandling or begging is permissible where you live.

Tips
Any scheme that suggests you will make money fast should be very carefully scrutinized before you involve yourself. Don't spend money to get money on such schemes; if you haven't got much money right now, keep it to put food on the table or you may never see its worth again.
Raid every part of your house where you are likely to have stashed money––money boxes, coat pockets, jean pockets, spare bags, vacation bags, down the back of the couch, underneath furniture, in jars stashed at the back of the cupboard, etc. Think! It may be possible that there are lots of coins that can be discovered and they might even be enough to cover a grocery run or night out.
Rent out a room in your home. Do you have a spare room or granny flat that isn't needed? People are always looking for affordable accommodations and this could be a quick return of money. Consider either long-term or vacation rental options, depending on the season and your needs.
Consider taking up dog walking. People who own dogs but who are too busy to walk them will appreciate the chance to have the dogs walked. Be professional, make up a flyer and start door knocking or leaflet dropping. Use your cell phone for contact; that way you can get the calls no matter where you are trying to raise money!
Did you buy tickets to a big event some time away? Consider selling them. Avoid scalping them though; they must be sold legally, which either means at cost or check the terms and conditions to see if they allow sales at what the market is prepared to pay. Another option is to return items you haven't used yet but bought recently. You'll get over it!
If you're taking on a part-time position, get one that gives tips so that you get immediate cash from the first day. It can be a long wait until that first pay otherwise.
If you have a prime car park spot but you're not using, consider renting it to someone who needs it. You can earn good cash this way.
Have you got what it takes to tutor from home? If it's the season for desperation prior to exams, perhaps you can key in on this stress, help a few people pass their exams and make a sweet pot of money all at once. Advertise online, on bulletin boards and on street boards or posts. Go to campuses and find their bulletin boards and pin up your offer. Make it even more enticing by offering a free cup of coffee with every tutoring session!
If you have life insurance, you may be able to access some of it. Speak to a representative responsible for your policy.
Totally destitute? Seek emergency assistance from a reputable charity. Or, seek a payday loan but only on the understanding that these can be a vicious cycle, with high interest unless you pay it back promptly; don't do it if you cannot pay it back next week. Perhaps ask your employer for an advance; it will be cheaper.
Don't forget to check your credit card rewards. There may be vouchers to claim that can cover things you need to get.

Warnings
Make sure that whatever you're doing does not violate any local laws or regulations.
If going the day laborer route, keep in mind that there is animus against these types of workers, namely illegal aliens (or illegal immigrants if you're in a jurisdiction outside of the US).
If you are going to sell something, set a price that will ensure a sale. Don't set it too high or nobody will buy; equally, don't set it too low, or else you won't be able to make a decent amount of money (an exception to this is if you are seriously desperate).
While gambling is an option, it's also likely to be a very big losing one. If you have so few funds that you're not sure where the next meal or bus fare is coming from, skip this option totally. And even if you do opt for it, keep aside all money needed for bills, rent and food and play for very low stakes.
Article farm sites are not a good quick money option. They're poorly regarded (so they won't improve your writing reputation) and they're slow to pay (usually at the end of the month) and you often need to have a certain amount of reads per article to get any payment. Moreover, the rate of return is generally lousy.

EYEBROW WAXING
Steps to Wax Eyebrows (Waxing Strips)
The process involved in eyebrow waxing includes a four-fold process that is mentioned below:
* Arranging the eyebrows for waxing
* Application of the waxing strips
* Removing the unwanted eyebrow hair
* Removing the hair that went untouched with the waxing strips with the help of tweezers and disinfect the area with astringent
Safety Tips for Eyebrow Waxing (Warm Wax)
Eyebrow waxing can be very painful if you are trying it for the first time. The direction of the pull, your skin sensitivity and wax quality can determine the extent of pain suffered during eyebrow waxing. Listed below are few safety tips one should follow if eyebrow waxing with warm wax is being considered:
* Know what kind of waxing strips you would need to purchase.
* Use a baby toothbrush or a mascara wand to define the shape of your eyebrow
* Use an astringent to disinfect the area.
* Determine the eyebrow length by holding a ruler parallel to the nose and leveling it to the inner corner of the eye. This will help you decide from where the eyebrow should begin. Mark the point with an eyebrow pencil.
* Wide set eyes should have closer eyebrows and close set eyes should have eyebrows wider apart.
* Measure the curve and highest point of the eyebrow by holding the ruler at the tip of your nose. Mark the point with an eyebrow pencil.
* Warm the wax to a comfortable temperature or heat and apply it in the direction of the hair growth.
* Place the muslin removal strips and pull it in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
* Pluck the rest of the unwanted hair with the help of a tweezer.
* Apply astringent as a disinfectant to the newly defined eyebrows.
* Apply ice or tree oil to reduce the redness and swelling if any.
* Avoid sun, makeup or any facial treatment after eyebrow waxing.
* Define the newly shaped eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
Avoid eyebrow waxing if you have very sensitive skin. Eyebrow waxing is usually professionally done but it can be an expensive affair for many. Sit home and try it by yourself with ease, leisure and comfort.
