8 Simple Ways To Make Free Money

If the economy has got you down and you are in need of some extra cash, or you just want to supplement your income, there are ways to make free money almost instantly.  Sure it may take a little tiny bit of work, but it certainly won't cost you eight hours of work a day only to receive a measly check two weeks later!  By doing all or just a few of these things, you can and will make some extra money very easily, it's just a matter of how bad you want or need the dough! 

1.  Sell stuff on Ebay. Take a look around your house and ask friends and family members for items that are just taking up space.  You can sell anything and people will most certainly buy it.  Since you can choose auction times that are as short as 3 days, you can have money right away doing this with very little work! 

2.  Take clothes to a Consignment shop.If you don't have a digital camera for ebay, or just flat out don't want to mess with it, look for a consignment shop.  Just about every neighborhood has one, and they can't sell items without buying from people like you!  All you have to do is make sure the clothes are presentable, clean, and ironed and take them to the store. They will have you fill out a form and go through your loot.  They probably won't keep everything, however, for the items they do want, you will get cash instantly on the spot for it.  Very cool!

3.  Turn in your bottles and cans.Many people don't know that they can trade in plastic bottles and aluminum cans for money.  You can get anywhere from 5-10 cents for each thing you turn in, depending on what state you live in.  This can really add up if you save them over time. 

4.  Write Articles for Associated Content.By submitting original articles to associated content they will pay you anywhere between $2 and $8 per article. The cash is deposited straight into your Paypal account upon approval of your submission!  The only catch is you can't publish the articles anywhere else!

5.  Offer dog sitting or babysitting services.Many people can't afford current daycare rates wether it's for their children or their beloved pets.  At the same time, many daycare facilities don't offer services past 5pm or on the weekends.  By charging less than the average local rate and offering evening and weekend services you can establish a loyal clientele almost instantly!

6.  Do chores for a family member.Call up a family member or even an elderly neighbor and see if they need help with any household chores or yard work.  Decide upon a fair hourly rate and how often they will pay you.  This is a win-win situation because you are both helping each other. 

7.  Have a garage sale.  Whatever you don't sell on ebay or consignment can be piled together and sold at a garage sale.  You may not sell it all in one weekend but if you do it for a few weekends in a row you could get a nice chunck of change!

8.  Ask someone for a small loan.Sometimes you are left with no other option other than to ask for help.  If you are desperate, don't be afraid to swallow your pride and ask for help.  We have all been there, and the worst they can say is no!

Of course, if you get really creative you can come up with more, but these are just a few ways to make some fast cash.  You can even do a few of these things together to make more money!  If you want to learn how other ways you can make fast money please visit Free Cash Venture.
