Help - tell me how to make some cash fast!

Discussion in 'General Business' started by fmt2k7, Feb 16, 2007.

  1. #1
    I need to find an honest, legal, ethical way to make some fast cash. I'm willing to do this offline or online. I have already sold anything of value that I don't need on eBay, the grass is not growing, I'm out of firewood and I'm out of ideas. My googling efforts have yielded me some of the following: wash windows, use my car as a taxi service, walk my neighbors' dogs, etc...you get the idea.

    I really would like for someone to give me some decent idea(s) of how I can make some cash quickly. I don't have any start-up money, but might could bum a hundred bucks from a relative if I really need to and if I can repay very fast.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...I'm not looking to make a cool million overnight...50 - 60 bucks a day for a couple of weeks is what I'm looking for (more would be better) to get me by.

    Thank you for your time!

    Look for some basic freelancing in the Services section and the content creation section. You can probably get $20-60 a day, if you can commit the full day. It helps if you can program. Data entry jobs and article writing don't take much more than basic creativity and dedication.

    Are you a busy person? How much time are you willing to spend?

    look like you can write pretty well. why not sell articles? there's a bunch of guys try to sell article writing at 5$ per article. so if you could get 10 articles per day, you would be 50$.

    Wow, I must say, you guys are really up to the task. I've posted on forums before (unrelated to making money) and somehow I always seem to get replies from immature twits who have too much time on their hands flaming me for things I didn't say.

    Not you guys...not only have you been kind and courteous, but very helpful as well. You have opened my eyes to opportunities I didn't know existed! I've already taken your advice and am trying to create forum posts. Also, I actually enjoy writing (OK, I have mental problems) and will be applying for some article writing gigs.

    I normally wouldn't do this but, since you guys have been so helpful, I'll try to tell you my story as briefly as I can. My brother and I own a business together. The second week of January our Mother was admitted to ICU where she passed away three weeks later. It was unexpected and we spent nearly all three weeks at the hospital. The next week was spent preparing for and holding her funeral. Then our company vehicle broke down and we were out another week. So, we have only worked 2 of the last 7 weeks and are hurting financially. We just landed a new contract, but will not see any income for 30 days or so. Therefore, we are scrambling to find some cash to get caught up on some bills. I don't want sympathy or charity, I just want to dig in and get myself out of this hole!

    You guys have been a great help and I do appreciate it! I'll continue to watch this thread for any other great ideas.
