Need Ideas on Making Money

United States
December 29, 2006 3:14pm CST
Can anyone give me any idea on how to earn $300 fast? On Christmas, I maxed myself out getting gifts for needy kids. Kids that would have gotten nothing for Christmas. My heart went out to them and I went overboard. Plus I helped 2 needy families with money for food. Now, I have 2 bills I need to pay. $300 won't completely pay them off but it will be enough that they will leave me alone. I'm open to donations, selling my photos (trying to do), and selling my books (trying to do). I am open to other ideas and suggestions.

To be honest I don't think there is anyway to make money fast (at least legally :-) ) With your bills perhaps you can talk to the companies involved and see about deferring them for a month or so or sending a smaller amount for the moment. You've mentioned trying to sell some stuff - if you're using ebay that may help - I've sold bits and pieces through ebay, any other unwanted items you may have you could perhaps sell there. I see that someone already mentioned asking family for help and that's not an option, perhaps speaking to your bank - maybe they can help consolidate things for you so you only have the one thing to worry about. There are of course ways to try it online but it certainly isn't fast, specially if you want to set up an online business etc. I hope you find assistance from somewhere.

Thanks for your advice. I have tried to sell things on ebay. Never had any luck. I'm thinking about trying again. Any tips on how to sell on ebay?

The only way you can make fast money online, you need to have a big contact list or you happen to be one of the few fortunate that have made money within a few days other than that it's a process to make money so you need patience focus etc...

Not really, sorry. I'm sure half the time it's just luck :-) I've sold quite a few books though, I tend to put two or three in a bundle and then start at a fairly low price - I know here the postage can be a big put off - pay 5 bucks for a book and then have to pay 10 for postage :-) But have a look around and see what others are selling - or what others are looking for - there's a wanted to buy section in there somewhere - there's a chance you may have it. Old magazines are another good one - I was surprised at how well they sell (and for how much) and am desperatly wishing I had a heap more :-)

Is there anyway you can get a small short term loan. What about an extra job: waiting tables, delivering pizza -- you would make imeadiate tips. You could sell on e-bay or yahoo actions. We have stores in our area that you can sell used clothes back to, platos closet and kid to kid. You can do the online offers but they won't give you $300 and you wouldn't get paid very quick. Good luck

I just read this and hope you've gotten out of debt since you wrote it, but if you're still looking for work you could try a temp agency or two. Some offer a wider variety of jobs than others, so you should shop around. Sometimes temp jobs turn into long-term jobs. Helping needy kids doesn't have to cost so much. Every little bit helps, and if a little bit is all you can afford, that's okay. Also, there might be a place you could donate time instead of money, helping kids learn to read or something.

Try to sell things on ebay and find some odd jobs which can pay you enough to buy gifts.

If your credit and background are good check this site out. You will have to go through the training with out pay but once you are set up to take calls you will make money. I got a paycheck for 53.00 for just 2 hours of calls. You will be processing orders. The site is www.workathomeagent.com. It will take a good week and a half to get through the training but it is a great parttime job opportunity.
