Overview
Whether you're unemployed, employed part-time, or even full-time, many people are looking for easy ways to make money. It's really not as hard as you may think, as long as you have some resources to guide you.
Step 1
Sell digital photos online. You don't have to be a professional photographer to make money snapping pictures. All you need is a decent digital camera, an eye for pictures (there's literally a world of subjects around you) and basic knowledge on how to use the camera. You can find that in the owner's manual. Find stock photography websites like PictureNation and iStockPhoto (see Resources) and you're ready to make money.
Step 2
Sell your blood for quick cash. Since there are over 400 paying plasma collection centers across the United States, chances are good you can find one in your area. Look in the Yellow Pages for the centers nearest you. Then, call them to find out specific information on the process..
Step 3
Sell your hair to make some easy money. If your hair is in good condition, isn't colored or otherwise treated with chemicals and you have at least 10 inches of length to cut off, you can probably sell it for cash. Check out web sites like The Hair Trader (see Resources) where you can place free ads.
Step 4
Hold a tagless yard sale. This is probably the easiest way to make money and declutter your house at the same time. All you need to do is rummage through your house and put everything you want to get rid of in your yard. Put up "Tagless Yard Sale" signs and wait for the customers to flock in. Accept offers on your merchandise, dicker until you agree on a price and pocket the cash.
Step 5
Earn easy money by signing up for credit cards and bank accounts. Credit card companies and banks often offer cash to people who sign up for credit cards and open bank accounts. Usually, it's as easy as getting a credit card, using it once and paying off the balance to get money. You won't be stuck with the card because you can always cancel it. Banks usually require you to open a checking or savings account to receive the sign-up bonus. Check websites like American Consumer News (see Resources) to find available offers.
Step 6
Rent out an extra room in your home. If you have a room that you're not using, then you have an easy way to make money. It doesn't even have to be furnished because renters can provide their own furniture. The basic requirements are that the room is clean, in good condition and has access to a bathroom. Having a separate entrance is an added benefit, but not a necessity. Advertise the spare room on websites like Craigslist (see Resources) to find renters.
