10 Ways to Make Easy Money
If you’re looking for a bit of “easy” money (that exists, right?), try one of these ideas.
Sell yourself. Not as in prostitution, since that’s (mostly) illegal. Think blood, plasma, or breast milk. If you’re willing to get your blood drawn, you can earn up to $50 for the first five donations, and then possibly $60 per week if you go twice per week. Each session takes approximately 90 minutes.
Cut costs. This might not be the most fun option out there, but it will work in a pinch. Shut off cable, reduce your data plan, use cash back offers, or clip coupons for an extra buck. Be careful with this tactic, though. You might end up spending more money in the long run if you shut a service off and then turn it on again later. Those connection fees can get you!
Drive for Uber or Lyft. There are other rideshare driver opportunities out there also, such as Sidecar or RelayRides. If you have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record, you can set your own hours and make some extra money in the process.
Watch children or pets.Babysitting is the “always there” solution for a those who need money right away. If you’re reliable and trustworthy, you can command your price. Babysitters can easily make $10-$15 per hour. Look for evening opportunities with multiple children to maximize your income.
Participate in clinical research. I knew a woman who would sign up for random medical testing, and made decent money from it. She would do anything from sleep testing to taking new medication (or a placebo… she was never told). For one test, she made nearly a thousand dollars for a staying at the location for a weekend.
Sign up for a focus group. Provide your opinion on new products. I previously worked for a global manufacturing company who would have people come in for focus groups a few times per month. After spending an hour or two having conversations and answering questions, the participants would leave with a small stipend and a few kitchen gadgets. Sure, you might not need those gadgets but you could…
Sell things on Craigslist or eBay. Do you have a few extra focus group items sitting around your house collecting dust? Sell them online. If you go the Craigslist route, please be safe about it and meet in a public place for the exchange.
Take paid surveys. Sign up with companies like Pinecone Research or look at these work from home opportunities.
Get a part-time job. Not the best option if you’re limited on time, but always an option if you’re desperate. For the best ROI, look for something that gives tips. Bartending, waiting tables, hotel hospitality, and pizza delivery are good part-time jobs that bring in tips.
Get a payday loan. This isn’t the traditional advise you’ll receive from a financial advisor due to the high interest rates that come along with these types of loans. Over a long period of time, you could pay triple digit interest rates But if you’re responsible with your money and know this is just a short-term solution until your next check comes in, this could be the right solution for you.

Funny us vets can ask for help from “companies” like these…yet, they keep every penny for themselves with websites like these that just generate money from the broke souls of veterans creating traffic.
Sad world, good luck guys, but sorry society does not care.
No doubt. This another example of the bullshit real vets go through. Another asshole with his ” help the vets” bullshit website. Nobody gives a phuk about the vets. They use you then thrown in the dumpster behind the v.a. clinic.

He’s not received any pay since May 1 and bills are adding up. What options does anyone know of???? We’re not finding any help!!!

I am a 67 year old homeless, disabled vet who is waiting on service connected rating. I am waiting on VA housing which they tell me will happen soon. I get by on social security which usually runs out before the end of the month. I have been jumped by four young men with clubs who got the money I had left. I need some money for food and maybe a room until the third of next month. I use a walker and fall often. I was not raised to ask for money, but I am in a bad spot right now. I would truly appreciate any help I could get. One to three hundred dollars will get me food and a room until I get paid. Thank you
I am a 90% disabled veteran Iraq 2004-2012 and need some assistance with a recent issue in my new home. I ran into some bad luck with my washer and dryer and could use some help in acquiring a new washer and dryer. I wish I didn’t have to ask for help but I could really use it. The last second strain of moving into a new house and these unforeseen issues is causing a lot of problems financially for my wife and 5 children. If there is anyone who could assist me I would forever be grateful. thank you for your time and considerations made on this matter Sgt. Darryl L. Hall Jr.
This a fucking joke to VETS
