How to make money fast

1. Sell unnecessary

Get rid of clothes, bags, accessories, equipment that you do not use often. In a crisis situation, you can keep only what you need.

Things will have to be put up for sale at an online flea market at a low price, otherwise they won't sell quickly. But there is no other way out.

You can also go to a thrift store or pawnshop. This is a less profitable but quicker way to get your belongings back on track. Keep in mind: Your laptop at the pawnshop is likely to be priced very cheaply in terms of wear and tear. And to redeem it, if there is such an opportunity and desire, will have to be at a higher price.

But in any case, it is better than taking a microloan at insane interest.

2. Rent out something

Examine the ads: what exactly others are renting and what is in demand. If you are fortunate enough to live in a tourist-attractive place, offer a room in an apartment or an entire apartment (live with friends or relatives).

You can even rent out photographic equipment, evening dresses and accessories, your photogenic purebred dog for photo shoots, and so on.

3. Offer fast social media services

Ask yourself: what exactly are you good at doing? Through word of mouth or Avito, you can try to find customers for a lot of services:

Spring-cleaning.
Walking dogs, overexposure of animals (cats, hamsters) and birds during the departure of the owners. Also, paid overexposure is usually needed by volunteer groups involved in the treatment and accommodation of stray animals.
Looking after the cottage or house.
Plumbing fixing, minor home repairs.
Manicure, hairstyle and other beauty services.
Setting up and repairing computers.
Legal advice (especially related to purchases related to consumer protection).
Photoshoot. If you are not a pro, admit it honestly, explain that you are building a portfolio for yourself, and therefore set a low price.
Delivery of a tired driver home from the restaurant. Car owners can officially (by joining a taxi service) or unofficially (just by being on duty at drinking establishments) to earn extra money on the delivery of celebrating citizens. But calculate all the costs and consider the risks.
Writing congratulations, transcribing texts, proofreading.

Declare yourself as loudly as possible. If possible, talk about your adversity.

You will be able to experience for yourself whether the theory of six handshakes really works. Surely among your acquaintances there will be those who will agree to place you temporarily at work.

4. Become a donor

If, of course, health permits. For a portion of blood, you will be offered free food, or a reward of 5% of the subsistence minimum established in your region. Detailed prices can be obtained from blood centers.

When donating blood on a paid basis, donor payments vary from 8 to 45% of the regional subsistence minimum. The fee depends on the blood group and on what components you donate (blood, plasma, platelets, erythrocytes, leukocytes).

5. Make some money on the Internet

You can earn extra money online on reviews: some well-known sites pay for them. You can also put likes and dislikes, increase views, join groups, repost, leave comments on social networks. The payment is not high: on average, up to 1 ruble for one task.

6. Get your hands on it

Gingerbread cookies, scrapbooking, knitwear and toys - all this is sold with a bang through social networks, especially on holidays. If you set a reasonable price, of course. On the Web, you can find a lot of instructions for making exclusive things and promoting handmade.

7. Take a part-time job

Sometimes temporary vacancies are formed. You can earn extra money as a janitor, cleaner, waiter, courier, animator. Check the ads often: perhaps someone is urgently looking for just such a specialist like you.

How not to run into scammers

The first and foremost rule: don't give your money away. If in the process of finding a job you are asked to pay for something, buy or are offered some kind of scheme as a result of which you will give your money, immediately stop communicating with this “company” and forget about it forever.

You are looking for a job to make money, not give it away. This is the first sign of fraud. Yes, you can pay for writing a competent resume, translating a resume into a foreign language, training or career counseling. But these services are always openly offered, and the corresponding amounts are announced.

Pay attention to the requirements of the employer.

They won't pay half a million to a person without work experience. Don't be naive!

The higher the salary, the more requirements the employer will make. He pays to keep his business running and making money.

Freelance cheating schemes are common on the internet. Fraudsters have mastered this method of luring out money: applicants are offered to leave a large sum as a guarantee that they really will not let you down and will do the assigned work. Or they ask to transfer a certain amount "to open an electronic wallet", to which the salary will allegedly be transferred later. And disappear. This goes in tune with the main rule: don't give your money away.

It is also possible to come across very attractive vacancies without specifying the contact information of the employer. To communicate with the HR, you will be asked not to send a resume, but to make a call or send an SMS message, after which a certain amount will be debited from your mobile phone account.

Another option: you receive a letter from a supposedly large and reputable organization, where you are informed that your candidacy has passed the competitive selection for admission to the state. However, in order to comply with all the formalities, you need to register on the site. For registration, it is proposed to send an SMS - of course, the message is paid.

Therefore, use proven resources and adequately evaluate the offers of employers.

8. Create a financial cushion

This, of course, is not a way to make money quickly, but a salvation from force majeure situations. As soon as you get out of the financial hole, immediately start building up a stock for a rainy day.

The money should be enough for at least three months of your usual life, and better - for six months.

Where to begin? From the simplest: to make a strong-willed effort and start saving money from the next paycheck. It's better not to get to the bottom anymore.
