Whether you're trying to cover monthly bills, or need a little extra spending money, having a few resources to make quick money can help. Easy methods for money making, such as advertising on your vehicle, completing clerical tasks online or selling a few items on bidding sites, provide many opportunities. Before getting started, it helps to have a few tips.
Advertise on your Vehicle
Companies like Free Car Media, connect advertisers with people willing to put advertising on their vehicles. Most campaigns last up to three months and drivers are paid up to $900 (depending on the client) each month.
Once your vehicle is chosen, the advertiser will wrap your vehicle in an advertisement and the payment contract begins.
Amazon Mechanical Turk
Amazon Mechanical Turk is a service that allows companies to post tasks, and job seekers to claim projects. For example, a company may need a survey completed, date entry jobs or other clerical tasks. Once you have $10 accumulated in your Amazon account, you can withdraw the money through a check or direct deposit.
Bidding Sites
Gather items you aren't using around the house and list them on a bidding site. With bidding sites (like eBay or ubid), you can select shorter auctions (like three days) to get money for your item quicker. Payment can be set up through PayPal, which posts to your account quickly.
Participate in Clinical Trials
According to Young Money, an online publication for college students, volunteering for clinical research studies can earn you $15 for answering simple questionnaires to hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars for participating in long-term studies.
Temporary Services
People looking to make money fast should register with a local temporary services agency. These agencies are hired by local businesses to find qualified people to fill short-term jobs. These jobs range from answering phones, to sales jobs to temp-to-hire specialized positions (such as accounting).
