Working to discover ways to make money, I offer up these 10 ideas that when efficiently done may potentially earn you some extra money this time next week. Please take a moment to review the list and let me know your thoughts. What are some other ways that come to mind that can help someone looking to make a little extra money this week?
1. Hold a Yard Sale
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” A yard sale is a quick way to make money while you remove excess clutter from your life.
2. Host a community sales with themed-product
Think “Consignment Sale with Focus”. Connect with potential sellers of their products (i.e. Computers, baby items, etc.) and offer to host the sale (providing advertising, etc). Sellers simply bring in their products, you check them in and then collect proceeds off every dollar sold during the 2-3 day sales event.

3. Sell clothes to thrift shops.
While you’re at it, offer to help your friends as well for a small commission on any item sold. They’ll surely appreciate your doing the legwork to sell their unwanted clothes.
4. Apply to work part-time at a local temp agency
This is one of the most overlooked opportunities. Check out your local temporary employment agency for a listing of temporary & part-time jobs that you just be the perfect fit.
5. List your unwanted books & CDs on Ebay.com or Amazon.com
Yes, people STILL physical books & CDs. You may even want to consider approaching your local used bookstores to determine what they may be willing to offer you for your collectible items.
6. Sell your other unwanted items on Ebay.com or Craigslist.org
Craigslist.org has become a great resource for my family. During a recent “lemon” vehicle purchase, I was able to sell the soured purchase on Craigslist.com in literally 30 minutes. The new owners/mechanics were able to fix the issues in order to turn the lemon into lemonade, and I was able to reinvest the proceeds into another vehicle of my choice.
7. Sell discounted or wholesale products on Ebay.com (Overstock.com; Wholesalecentral.com)
Though I have not tried this yet, I am definitely looking into some product options that I can purchase at a great discount/wholesale price and then resale them on Ebay or even Craigslist. Ideally, I am exploring how I may simply broker the sale and have the products actually drop-shipped to the buyer. Then, I will not have to physically touch the products. Win-Win, I think…will keep you posted.
8. Offer a service on Fiverr.com
There are so many services on Fiverr.com, you will definitely need to be very specific in your service offering in order to gain prospective buyers’ attentions
9. Offer a recycling service to a specific area of town.
Focus on a specific neighborhood, so you may easily route your pick up/delivery in the most efficient way.

10. Sell your plasma.
I have a friend whose husband had actually saved his “plasma” money that he used to purchase her engagement ring when they were in college together. So – yes, it’s definitely a way to make money.
