Donate Plasma

• Donating plasma does two things: it helps you raise quick money and it helps someone in need. Donating plasma will usually only take about an hour of your time, and can net you $30 to $60.
  
  

Have a Garage Sale

• You would be surprised at the number of items in your house that others would be willing to pay for. Having a garage sale can net your quite a bit of money, depending on how many (and what type of) items you have to sell.
  
  

Turn in Old Jewelry

• We've all seen the commercials on TV advertising "big bucks" for old jewelry. Try taking yours to local jeweler or a pawn shop for an appraisal before blindly mailing it in.
  
  

Recycle Old Cell Phones

• Recycling your unused cell phone can get you up to $20 per phone. Try asking relatives and friends if they have any around the house.
  
  

Quick Services

• This may make you feel like a teenager again, but there is no shame in mowing lawns, washing windows or mopping floors. It is an excellent way to get quick cash and almost anyone can do it; all you need are appropriate supplies for your task.
