Posted on March 22, 2009 at 7:39 pm Hi everyone, I just wanted to throw these ideas out there, I have seen the donating plasma idea and this sparked something for me. There are lots of things out there to make some quick money, sure it is not a lot and usually only a one time thing but it's easy!CraigsList: I see lots of ads on craigslist for survey participants and research participants. Usually you go to a group for an hour discussion type study and get paid $30 for your time.Also you can advertise your services on craigslist. I have gotten one-time jobs from people looking for cheap prices on things like transcribing what they say over the phone onto a Word document in a quick amount of time, also done data entry onto Excel spreadsheets (for example addresses on a guest list to be printed out onto labels). I also see lots of ads for babysitters and live-in caretakers, etc.Universities: I live in a college town where there is always research going on at the research hospital on-campus. Depression studies, medication testing (this seems risky to me but consider the medication must go through extensive research before they are allowed to test it on humans), anxiety studies, insomnia/sleeping disorder studies, etc. Usually these are a study over a period of time, so unlike the types of things I posted above, you can make more over a period of time. For example the most recent one I've seen is $15 per hour-long visit for a depression study, up to $180 over a six-month period.Flea markets: I have personally not tried this one as I am not very strong but in a support group I attend someone mentioned that at flea markets vendors often need help loading and unloading their items. Since the flea market is a cash business, they will pay you cash immediately to help out!Things around your community: A friend of mine makes money by charging people $7 per week to walk by and check their apartments every morning and take any bags of trash to the dumpster for them. $7 may not seem like much but if you get 10 customers that don't have time or don't like getting their hands dirty, that's $70 extra per week. You can also do this by offering to pick up recycling (our city does not pick up from apartments, only single family homes), walking dogs, or something more traditional like mowing lawns or washing cars.Hope this helps :)

They do accept people internationally, although the focus on craigslist is dealing within your local community. The site originated in the States although they have expanded to Europe but I am not sure at this point how extensive it is, worth a shot at any rate!3. It is not a survey site. It is basically a "classified ads" site, but you can do it for free, and anonymously. The way it works is that someone will post an ad. If you are interested in the ad, an anonymous email is provided in the ad (it goes to craigslist and they will forward your email to the person). If the person still has the job/item/whatever to offer, they can contact you back. You can also choose not to remain anonymous and post your email or contact info directly in the ad.Check it out at craigslist.org to get more of an idea of how it works.

Posted on March 22, 2009 at 8:49 pm I have done a few studies that I have seen on craiglist - they are really easy! My first one was testing out new software for a cell phone, they even gave me the option of keeping the software on my phone for free. It took about an hour, and it paid 20 dollars. Not too bad!

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 7:24 am All idea are nice but here at my country there is no scope to earn through such way. I have tried to have a lot of site offering online surveys and study programs but all of are not available in my area or country most of them are available for US or canada residents. So, Now-a-days I am not running behind such offers.

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 7:46 am I just recently became a "lab rat" as I call it.  There is a consumer product testing company in the town where I live and they pay you to test different products like lotions, anti-wrinkle creams, etc.  I just signed up for a sunblock testing.  It pays $45 and I have to go two times to the lab and diary every day when I use it.  Not too bad for trying sun protection.

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 2:14 pm Nice list!  Your friend should be applauded for using his brain to make some extra money. That kind of service may not be for everyone, but it's always needed by someone. 

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 2:28 pm Very useful! Testing out products is a great way to earn extra cash (=xox Emma

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 5:10 pm I have always wanted to test out products for cash, but I don't have a clue on how that would work when I'm living in Sweden. It would probably take a lot of time to send me the product.

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 7:53 pm I like your idea of checking craigslist. I've never really checked it for that type of thing!Also, I've tried the donating plasma part. It really is a quick, nice chunk of change. Here they pay you 240$ a month for about 2 hours of your time a week. That is awesome pay, if you're willing to do it. I actually need to look into starting that again.

Posted on March 23, 2009 at 8:21 pm Many thanks for your ideas.  I expect lot of people to come mout with more and more ideas and new details.
