Looking for a way to make some quick money without making an effort? In fact, it's as easy as shelling pears! Look at selling unnecessary items, providing services, working odd jobs, and other quick ways to get cash.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Options

1. 1 Sell ​​the unnecessary. There are many ways to turn unnecessary items into money. Here are some of them:
   • Have a yard sale.
   • Refurbish old furniture and sell it to an antique store or take it to a pawnshop.
   • Sell ​​things on eBay or Avito.
   • Sell ​​old things second-hand.
   • Sell ​​books, CDs, games to specialty stores.
2. 2 Participate in paid surveys. Search the Internet for sites where you can take paid surveys. Trust only trusted and secure sites. Keep in mind that they pay very little on such sites, but if you fill out a large number of surveys, you can earn a good amount. Try the following sites, for example:
   • Rublklub.ru;
   • Marketagent.com;
   • Platnijopros.ru;
   • Voprosnik.ru.
3. 3 Sell ​​organic materials. Yes, and you can make money on your body! And here's how:
   • Take part in clinical trials.
   • Donate plasma.
   • Donate semen.
   • Donate eggs.
4. 4 Do the work for others. Now that there is the Internet, you can find a simple part-time job to earn some pocket money. Unfortunately, many large sites with such a side job are only available in large cities. Don't be discouraged if you live in a small town, we have prepared options for you too:
   • Do you have a car? Excellent. Get a job as a driver and earn extra money in your free time.
   • Do your neighbors have no time to go shopping? Invite them to do it for them!
   • Take a nanny or look after pets.
   • Can you teach something? Then become a tutor.
5. 5 Rent out one of the rooms. Do you have a large house or apartment? Excellent. Use the internet and find someone who needs a room. You can publish the post on social networks or specialized sites:
   • AirBnB;
   • HomeAway;
   • Avito;
   • local classifieds sites.
6. 6 Become a freelancer. Strictly speaking, freelancing is additional, but not easy earnings. You can become a copywriter, editor, translator, or you can take on routine work. Of course, they won't pay much for the latter, but it's still better than nothing. According to your skills, create a resume and portfolio and post them on sites such as:
   • Upwork.com is the largest international freelance exchange. Payments from customers go directly through the site, for which a percentage is charged, but there is a guarantee that your work will not remain unpaid. Knowledge of English is required.
   • Weblancer.net is a large exchange for remote work in Runet. After registration, be sure to fill out the portfolio - it will help you get more orders.
   • Freelance.ru is one of the largest freelance exchanges on the Runet. It was originally a forum.
   • FL.ru is an exchange for freelancers of various specializations. To effectively promote your services, you need to buy a PRO account.
   • Freelancehunt.com is a labor exchange for programmers, designers, copywriters and other professionals.
   • FreelanceJob.ru is positioned as an exchange for professional freelancers with a good portfolio.
7. 7 Register on sites with bonuses. Hardly anyone opens accounts from doing nothing. However, you can make money on this. Some sites charge registration bonuses. Please note, sometimes, in order to receive a bonus, you will have to make a purchase for the minimum amount.
   • Use cashback everywhere you can.

Method 2 of 4: Selling Unwanted Items

1. 1 Sell ​​some of your belongings to local stores. There are both single stores and chains that buy goods from the population at a reduced price and resell them, but at a higher price. Reconsider your things: you don’t like something, you don’t use something, or a thing unnecessarily - it’s time to take them to a similar store.
   • If you are an avid reader with a large library, browse your archives for outdated literature and books that you are not going to read. A book in good condition can be sold to a bookstore or some second-hand bookseller's shop for a couple of hundred rubles.
   • Clothing is a necessity for a person, but some have too much of it. If your wardrobe is full of outfits, try to take it apart and sort out the items that are small or out of fashion for you. Good money can be obtained for clothes without holes, stains and far from the state of "put on or tear".
   • If your music collection resembles a library, consider selling at least a portion. Discs in good condition (no dust or scratches) can sell for around a hundred apiece.Go to a music store and ask if they buy old CDs.
   • If you're a gamer, go through and sort your old video games. Almost all video game stores accept used discs in their original packaging for sale. Of course, they will only pay you a fraction of the initial cost, but it's still better than nothing.
   • Try taking any unnecessary junk to your local pawnshop or thrift store. This will help you get rid of a lot of things, from a blender that no one uses to an old motorcycle jacket.
2. 2 Direct sales. If you prefer to be completely engaged in selling your own items rather than carrying them to your local store, look for sales such as garage sales (if permitted by local law), local market, classifieds, and online auctions. Of course, this will require more involvement and planning on your part than just donating things to a suitable second-hand, but on the other hand, you can make more money in this way.
   • If garage sales are not allowed or accepted where you live, find out if there is a flea market nearby - or you might be able to sell things in a regular street market, which usually sells vegetables and flowers from backyards (but also that and otherwise you will have to pay for the place to trade). However, the easiest and most common way is to sell through advertisements on the Internet or even in the local newspaper. The ad will include your phone number, so consider purchasing a separate SIM card for this purpose.
   • High-priced or large items are best sold on sites like Craigslist or eBay to reach a wider audience. If you need to sell something more valuable than old clothes or garage tools, don't limit yourself to your city or region: the shipping costs will pay off.
3. 3 Sell ​​organic content. As strange as it sounds, you can sell your body parts for normal money. We are not talking about organs, but things like plasma, semen and hair are always in use.
   • If you have long, healthy hair (over 30 centimeters), you can trim it and sell it to one of the wig companies. Hair of rare color that has never been dyed is highly valued. Naturally, the longer the hair is, the more expensive it is.
   • Donate plasma at a blood bank. Plasma is a constituent of the blood that is needed by some patients with specific diseases. You can donate blood several times at intervals of several weeks, earning about a thousand rubles for each donation.
   • Donate semen. Of course, not the most psychologically comfortable way, but in conditions of a monetary crisis, as well as with the awareness of its important role - helping a childless couple finally have a child - this is not so difficult to do. In addition, one biodose costs several thousand rubles.
   • Sell ​​your eggs. It will take a little longer than donating sperm, but for girls who are not against this way of earning, it can bring up to hundreds of thousands of rubles per procedure. The very procedure for taking genetic material from a woman is generally unpleasant and is preceded by several weeks of injections, after which the main manipulation is carried out on an outpatient basis. But remember, this discomfort, besides, rather short-term, costs a lot of money.
4. 4 Get rid of excess metal. The range is wide - from old jewelry to piles of metal in the garage. Metal items (like any metal) are always valuable and are a great way to make easy money.
   • Gold is now more expensive than ever - about 1,500 rubles per gram. Usually, lower quality alloys are used in jewelry, however, you can make several thousand or even tens of thousands selling your old rings and bracelets that you never wear.
   • Scrap metal is an opportunity to earn money that literally lies under your feet. If you have an old car, boat, motorcycle, a pile of metal in an unfinished or abandoned building in your garage - sell it piece by piece (if there is something working) or just hand it over in a pile. You can make tens of thousands of things you forgot and left to rust.
   • Any party or arrival of guests can also bring you money. Do not throw away cans and bottles - these are recyclable materials and are accepted at special points (you just need to find out their addresses). You will not only clear your house of garbage, acquire the reputation of an environmentalist, but also earn several hundred. By the way, plastic bottles and waste paper are also accepted.
   • If there are abandoned warehouses or factories near you, you can search for and utilize (through sale) discarded scrap metal and non-working mechanisms. You can also buy for next to nothing "wreckage" - wrecked cars and boats, often their cost in this state is lower than the subsequent acceptance for scrap.
5. 5 Sell ​​your own creations. Are you a good baker? Painter? Gardener? Joiner? Then you definitely need to try to sell your products in the market or in a store (preferably a specialized one). This does not mean at all that you have a place in the city market - a real creator can sell his product in different ways.
   • Try creating an account on online auctions such as Etsy or eBay. This will allow you to advertise your products, add comments and features to images, and promote your products on other sites (via links). Etsy, for example, is becoming very popular as a site that sells handicrafts well at high prices.
   • Try to present your products at holiday fairs, exhibitions, markets. Visitors to such events are your target audience, as they are usually looking for all sorts of curiosities or something unusual, including handmade items. A trading place can be paid or free - it all depends on the specific case (find out in advance).
   • Advertise your products in city offices, offices and shops. Find shops and stores that sell the same products as yours and offer your products for sale. Many entrepreneurs will be happy to form a friendship with a supplier and support a fellow businessman.
6. 6 Sell ​​ad space. Are you a proud owner of a website or blog? Consider selling space in an empty space. You can become a partner of providers that provide advertising services to large clients - third parties. In this case, you will receive a percentage of the sale made on the transition from your page. The best way to make a lot of money this way is to increase your website traffic, and for this it is important to write often and interestingly.
7. 7 Rent out your premises. If you have a room that you don't use or a parking space on a busy street - perhaps this is also a way to make money, moreover, to receive money regularly. You must fully control the agreement with the tenant in order to terminate the agreement at any time (if something goes wrong).
   • If you decide to rent out a part of your house, make sure that the agreement with the tenant and all title documents are in order - it is worth doing this in order to avoid conflicts with residents and government agencies.
   • You can offer your neighbors your parking space - if you don't need it, and they have several cars. To clarify the cost of such a service, ask how much daily or monthly parking costs in your city - here you need to be fair, you should not quarrel with your neighbors.
8. 8 Sell ​​photos. Photos for stocks (stock exchanges for the sale of pictures) are quite simple, somewhat generalized frames that people can use in their articles, booklets, brochures.These photos cost a little, but if you manage to create thematic collections, you can make money from this, especially if you sell the photo several times. The best thing about this method is simplicity: you just upload a photo from a media, send it to the site and wait for payment.

Method 3 of 4: Find a part-time job

1. 1 Work as a “caregiver” for the neighbors. Even though this is perceived as an activity for thirteen-year-old girls, it is a good way to make money quickly. This work extends not only to children - you can look after someone's house, animals, garden. To expand your activities, advertise your services by placing posters in the surrounding streets.
   • Pet watching or dog walking is a great way to make money if you love animals. If your family, friends or neighbors will go on vacation, you could take care of their pets on yourself - you will help them, you will do what you love, and you will also earn money.
   • Housekeeping is one of the best jobs of this kind: you get paid to live with someone else's house and guarantee their safety and the absence of all kinds of breakdowns. True, this is not always the case - sometimes you will simply be asked to stop by to check if everything is in order while the owners are on vacation or away on business, but still this is an easy way to make money.
2. 2 Become a handyman. Everyone has things they don't want to do: cleaning sewer pits, repairing cars, general cleaning the house, whole to-do lists. You can do all this for a small fee for your friends and acquaintances - you just need to advertise your desire to them.
3. 3 Become a mystery shopper. This is a person who inspects restaurants and shops, with a subsequent report on their work. You will be paid several hundred rubles for each visit, which lasts no more than 20 minutes.
   • This work is coordinated by the Mystery Shopping Association, by registering on their website, you will get access to some tasks and programs.
   • If you need to make a purchase (be it food and clothing) to complete the mystery shopping job, you will be reimbursed after completing the evaluation survey.
4. 4 Work on ChaCha. ChaCha is a service for answering questions - anyone can call or write a message and ask any question of interest. The job is to formulate the response text as accurately and completely as possible and send it as quickly as possible.
   • Before hiring you, you will be offered a test to determine if you can do the job well.
   • ChaCha employees receive 120-300 rubles per hour, and they have no minimum time limit. You can register on the site at any time and work as long as it is convenient.
5. 5 Get a job as an arbiter or referee. Do you like sports? Study thoroughly the rules of your favorite type of competition and get paid for the work of a judge! For about an hour of play, they pay about a hundred rubles, while you enjoy participating. Make sure you really understand the rules, because your mistake during the game can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.
6. 6 Get the job of a temporary employee, a replacement employee. In fact, such workers are required quite often, so offer your services to a personnel agency. Of course, this is not such a quick way to get money, but the work will not be difficult - you do not have time to prepare, so they will not trust you with anything particularly important.
   • Become a remote assistant. If you have experience as an administrator and have the ability to work from home, look for remote assistance jobs at sites such as virtualAssistants.com or TaskRabbit.com. The search may take several weeks, but this is a good opportunity to earn money for parents on maternity leave and for part-time people.
   • Find a seasonal job. Some stores and companies are overloaded with work during certain seasons - it depends on the specifics of the goods and services.You can work for a week or a month in such establishments.
7. 7 Work at events. Some companies need people for a short period of time to advertise at trade shows. You can make money by giving away ad samples on the streets or simply by walking around with a sign. Typically, work is paid hourly and promotions are held only a few days a week.
8. 8 Try to work with the administration programs on the network. Basically, you need to perform simple tasks on certain sites that are difficult for a computer to cope with. It is a monotonous daily job, but extremely simple. Considering all of the above, the pay is pretty low and you have to spend quite a lot of time to earn decent money.
   • You can work with the administration program on Amazon, it is convenient, because payment for the work is made directly to your account and you can withdraw money if the amount exceeds a deposit of $ 10.
   • You can choose any job according to your abilities and desires, but do not forget: any job can be boring. However, if you are persistent, you can earn a fairly large amount in a week.
9. 9 Get a job as a newspaper peddler. This activity is especially suitable for "larks" - if you get up a few hours earlier every day, in a year you can earn several hundred thousand rubles just for delivering newspapers! The best thing about this job is that its schedule does not overlap with your main job or school.

Method 4 of 4: Other Methods

1. 1 Take part in online surveys. Good survey sites pay 200-400 rubles to participate in each. You can earn some money by taking a couple of surveys a day.
2. 2 Get involved in the research. Universities, laboratories and pharmaceutical companies are constantly in need of "experimental". Depending on the study, you can be paid up to several tens of thousands of rubles! Participants in good health are generally required, although sometimes the opposite is true.
   • To find out about this kind of work, check the websites of your local university or health department.
   • Join NASA's Sleep Study. True, you will have to spend three months in a row in one of their beds with minimal physical activity. Sometimes they pay up to 400 thousand rubles for this, although this, of course, is a due payment for months of forced lying.
   • Participation in a medical research always carries the risk of side effects, although these are generally unlikely to occur.
3. 3 Leave reviews. Companies value the opinion of most people about their products and services. To do this, they conduct online surveys, in which anyone can take part, and then receive payment.
   • Go to opinionoutpost.com - there are dozens of different polls, about a hundred rubles are paid for each.
   • Become a member of a focus group - online or with a visit. This is where your feedback on products or ideas is needed. They can pay from hundreds to several thousand rubles, depending on the time and effort you spent on research.
4. 4 Look for rewarding services. If you are thinking of changing your bank account, or getting a new credit card, or recommending a company you like to a friend, find out about the fees paid for this before making a decision.
5. 5 Participate in advertising. It is beneficial for manufacturers of goods or services that as many people as possible know about their product, and for these purposes they use the services of ordinary citizens. Advertising can be carried out both over the Internet and in person.
   • Stick advertisements on your car. Depending on the product or service, you need to drive with the sticker for several months or even years. But tens of thousands of rubles are paid for this, and removing the sticker at the end of the promotion will not damage your car.
   • You can sell status updates on social networks - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.You will be given a choice of several advertising messages, one of which you will post on the social network when you update your status. The more followers and sponsored posts you have, the more you get paid. Go to ad.ly.com to find out.
6. 6 Volunteer work in a grocery cooperative. There are such people in many cities, and only volunteers work in them. What are the benefits here? As payment, volunteers often receive groceries or food, which, in fact, can be considered a full-fledged payment - with the difference that you do not have to go to the store and buy all the same.
7. 7 Earn money using your smartphone. There are applications (Field Agent, CheckPoints, WeReward, MyLikes, and Gigwalk) that provide simple tasks (from taking a selfie in a cafe to scanning a barcode) for about a hundred rubles.
8. 8 Search for "forgotten" money and property. On unclaimed.org, you need to indicate in which US states or regions of Canada you lived, and follow the instructions to check and, if necessary, challenge your ownership of something. If somewhere there is your unclosed account or an unclaimed check that you have lost, they will find it for you.

Tips

• Never pay to participate in surveys - participation is always free.
• Make sure what and how much you get before taking on a job.
• Maintain a positive attitude in all circumstances, a negative approach will surely ruin everything.
• Better to provide your services to friends and acquaintances. You can never be sure about the intentions of a stranger, especially when it comes to working from his home.
• Making easy money is also hard work.
• You can participate in programs that pay money for additional attracted participants (for example, if you bring friends or acquaintances to the site who also want to earn money on the Internet, you will also receive a small percentage for their work).
• Save and collect change! In the end, the ruble saves a penny.

Warnings

• The internet can be dangerous. Do not trust all online surveys, especially if you are asked to participate by clicking on an advertising banner or questionable link. Malicious sites can steal your personal information or install virus programs on your computer.
