Q&A for How to Make Money Fast

One of the quickest and easiest ways to make money online is to do surveys. You can use sites and apps like Swagbucks, Survey Junkie, or Opinion Outpost to fill out questionnaires and get paid in cash or other rewards, like gift cards. However, it can take a while to find a survey that’s a good match for you, and you may need to make a certain amount before you can get your payout.

There are a few different ways to make a quick $100. If you have anything of value that you can stand to get rid of, like a smartphone or a piece of jewelry, you may be able to sell it at a pawn shop for $100 or more. However, keep in mind that you’ll get a lot less than the retail value! You can also try making money online by taking surveys, but it can take time to get your payout. Another good option is to do a few odd jobs throughout the day that pay relatively well, like dog walking, yardwork, or babysitting.

Try night filling for supermarkets/large stores, supermarket/retail cashiers, vacation seasonal factory work/seasonal fruit picking, night reception in a small hotel, cleaning, gas station attendant, making crafts or artwork and selling online, YouTube video making (but it needs to be popular), dog walking, babysitting, tutoring, housesitting, etc. There are many part-time options where college students are favored because people get to pay you less than a service provider but get to know you better, so it's a friendlier arrangement.

See if you can do some jobs for neighbors, such as raking leaves, mowing lawns, or shoveling snow. You may also be able to sell some of your toys online or have a garage sale to earn extra money.

You can do almost any of the things listed in the article in the evenings, on weekends, or whenever works for you. Or you could look for a part-time, evening side job.

If you're a child, ask your friends if they want their room cleaned, or ask your parents if they need their bathroom or clothes washed. If you're an adult, sell something quickly, ask for a loan or do a temp job.

If you have to pay it now, you have to take out a loan, ask for an advance on your salary or borrow money from friends or family. If it can wait, the amount will accumulate interest until you pay it back. If it's just one month out of twelve, and the other eleven you always have money left over, there's not really anything to worry about. Put the left over money aside to pay this month's expenses. Other than that, there are only two things you can do: spend less, or earn more. Sell your car, move to a smaller place, get a roommate. Cut whatever expenses you need to break even. Try for a second job, a raise, or sell something you make.

Billboards, people can hold up signs for you on the curb where everyone's driving, and make an advertisement on YouTube or through Google ads. You could also make flyers, have business cards and pay for insertions in newspapers or local magazines.

Yes, they could, but you would want to do it in a friendly neighborhood with a parent or older sibling to help.

Listen to your parents. They have a reason for saying no. If it's about money, they might just not be able to afford whatever you want right now. You can try patiently stating your case for why you need/want to do whatever it is, but be respectful, and if they continue to say no, just let it go. You can always try again at another time.

You can start working as a babysitter as early as age twelve (depending on the laws in your state). A good tip is to get Red Cross Certified in babysitting. People will be more likely to trust and hire you. These classes are held in hundreds of locations.

It depends on where you live. Many public places will require you to have a permit for sales. However, in a nice, family-friendly neighborhood as a kid, it would likely be fine. If you plan on selling street-crafts for a living, find out what the local regulations are and look into the costs of a stall, half shipping container or other form of suitable "pop-up shop" because you will be out there in all sorts of weather and you'll need to protect the crafts.

Ask your parents if there are any odd jobs you can do for an allowance, such as cleaning the dishes or raking the leaves. You could also ask your friends if they would pay you to clean their rooms or do their chores.

Random people? Probably 18, unless you have a parent or guardian supervising you or vetting the people for you. You can always work for people that you know or your family knows, as long as your parents are okay with it. And you can work for many businesses, like stores, as early as 16.

Do jobs for neighbors, parents or friends (like rake leaves, walk dogs, etc.) or sell your old belongings you don't need anymore.

Selling your hair can fetch as much as $980 quickly, as long as it is long, healthy, and untreated.

Yes, although they are generally through individuals and not banks.

This depends on what you are selling. Regardless of what website you choose, you will need an adult to help you. In most parts of the world, minors cannot legally sign a contract on their own, and anytime you sell something through an online vendor, you must enter into a legal contract with them.

You can do this by selling high end or desirable items, such as collector cards or musical instruments. Try buying these items at garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores and online, then turn them around and sell them for profit.

Children can ask their parents to pay them to do extra work around the house, sell lemonade or cut their neighbors' lawns to make extra money.

You could whip up some brownies, cupcakes, or cake and sell your goodies at a parent's work, to teachers in the lounge at recess or even to friends. You could also lend your books for $1 a day.

Only of their own free will. You should be polite and tell them why you need the money, then they will be more inclined to help you.

You could dig through the couch cushions for change. If there is a local recycling center that pays for recycled bottles, you could collect empty bottles from your household trash or neighborhood. If your parents are offering to pay you to do chores though, that may be the most efficient way to make money at home. You will also learn valuable skills for keeping your own home clean (for when you eventually live on your own).

Phones are a lot of money. Save your money and don't spend too much. Also if you want more money, get your parents to trust you. You can get more money then. As a last resort, borrow money from your friends and promise to pay them back.

Explain to them what you need or want money for, and tell them that it would be a good way for you to get certain things for yourself instead of them having to buy them for you. Additionally, earning your own money can help teach you discipline, hard work, and responsibility. It is normal for a child to either get an allowance or earn a little spending money for themselves somehow, and there is no good reason for your parents to prevent you from it.

Yes. Many people in the UK would buy aluminum for a good price. Same with copper and gold. You can try bringing them to a salvage yard.

If you have friends and family who trust you, ask them politely and make sure that you are telling them why you need the money. Let them know that you will most definitely pay them back, set a time frame, and be true to your word.

It really depends on your definition of "a lot" and what you do. Some of that money might also not be available to you right away. For example, if you decide to become an actor, you might make a lot of money, but that money might be put into a bank account for later use.

Ask your parents. If you make an allowance, ask them for an advance on it. If they won't give you any, try selling something you don't need to a friend, or doing chores for neighbors (ask your parents' permission before doing these things).

It would be hard, but just keep doing odd jobs until you earn that much money. If your parents are the type that take your money, there are several ways to hide it.
