$50-$782 Gone

Unfortunately, I could not bring myself to donate plasma for money. 

After learning the details of the process and the potential (but rare) risks, I psyched myself out of doing it.  This means that I will lose out on an immediate $50 and a potential easy extra $782 in profit for the year.  Not to mention, there will be one less person donating for the cause.

For those of you looking for quick extra cash, this is easy money.  But you must be willing to donate 2-4 hours of your time, and put your self at (rare) risk for medical problems.

Well, on to the next potential quick money maker!

Donating Plasma

Today, I will donate plasma.  The entire process takes 2-4 hours because they have to do a physical as well as other screening procedures.  I showed up at 8:25 a.m. and there was already a full house.

Never been a donor, and not thrilled about it.  But it's free money and for a good cause, so I'll do it.

While I wait, I'll plan for getting my next form of quick cash.

$50 Twice a Month for Plasma

Hello Friends,

I just found out that folks can get $50 twice a month for the first 5 visits at the local plasma donation center.  It is possible to donate twice a month for a total of 24 donations a year.  After the first 5 visits, compensation falls to $55 a month ($18 for the first visit, and $37 for the second) for the same amount of plasma.  Apparently, this is to give incentive for new donors.

Even if for some reason one were deemed "ineligible" after their first visit, they are still granted the $50 since the compensation is for time not plasma.

So there you have it folks!  Quick cash item number 1 is a success.  Instant cash for folks willing to donate plasma.  But make sure you contact your local plasma donation center for details as compensation varies from location to location.  It is also first come first serve.  The representative explained they have to turn potential donors down everyday.  The good news is that they are very effiecient and see upwards of 500 donors a day at this particular location.

Happy Donating!

Revised Quick Cash List

They say you have to start somewhere.  That couldn't be more true when deciding how to approach getting quick cash.

Today, I rearranged my list of 21 Ways to Quick Cash in the order I will do/attempt them.  Here is the revised list:

1. Sell blood and/or siemen
2. Volunteer for med studies
3. Model
4. Sell stuff
5. Pawn stuff
6. Make stuff to sell
7. Deliver newspapers
8. Deliver phone books
9. Look for gigs online
10. Roadside sales
11. Human billboard
12. Register for day labor
13. Register for temp agency
14. Canvass neighborhoods for odd jobs
15. Paint street numbers/curbs
16. Teach english
17. House sit
18. Petsit
19. Babysit
20. Recycle cans
21. Become a census worker

Likely not the smartest way to prioritize list, but it's a start.  The pressure is on, but having a basic plan is better than no plan.

I will start with the first item on the list and work my way down.  If you see something I can do better or know of any other ways to get cash quick, let me know.  Help me prioritize and to work smarter, not harder!

21 Ways to Quick Cash

Ok, it's crunch time.  After all of the excitement of the past few days, there has been little leeway as far as producing actual results.  After all is said and done, I need to start producing income... liiiiiiiike last week.

In yesterday's post I discussed how my plan was to figure out some quick ways put cash in my hand.  At this point, even if I was hired for most jobs today, I would still have to wait at least 2 weeks to see a paycheck. If I'm doing things honorably and with minimal financial assistance, then I don't have 2 weeks.

So I set out yesterday evening and today to find out what quick, legitimate ways to get cash exist.  Fortunately for me, I have access to a computer and lots of time to do research ; ).  The first two sites I visited gave me more than enough inspiration.  The first blog gave me 24 ways to get money fast and the second 25.

From those blogs I narrowed the list to 21 ideas I thought were worth looking into.  Hold on to your hats, some of these may be controversial.  Keep in mind, these are not in order, but I do plan to arrange them in an order that I think will bring me cash the quickest.  Then I will make an attempt at each.

1. Volunteer for medical studies
2. Sell blood or Siemen
3. Pet sit or walk dogs
4. Babysit
5. House sit
6. Deliver phone books
7. Become a census worker
8. Canvass Neighborhoods for Odd Jobs
9. Become a Human Billboard
10. Deliver Newspapers
11. Roadside Sales
12. Teach English
13. Sell Stuff
14. Recycle Containers
15. Paint Street numbers/Curbs
16. Model
17. Make stuff to sell
18. Register at Temp Agency
19. Register for Day Labor
20. Look for gigs online
21. Pawn stuff
