Making Money Fast
 
It seems like a common thread to making money fast is providing a service or buying and selling chattel.

When I talk to a client, I talk about customer lists, offers, etc. to sell something to them.

What if you want to earn, say a few hundred dollars but you have no list, no money, or you are just starting out and you need cash fast? (Hint:headlights)

Ha ! Go door-to-door doing odd jobs?

Have things changed because of social media? (I hate the never-ending ads)

What do you think?

Depends on who is THE you.

0.

Asking ME (I being the you)... probably would be inclined to "lecture" before offering up any advice.

The "lecture" would go something like:

You don't get paid for doing nothing. So what WILL you do? Not what CAN you do, or COULD you do, because within those answers will be a lot of DON'T WANNA do too.

Then after Mom's adage of having to DO to get...

I'd make sure they understood a TRANSACTION, which is an exchange of value...value being the agreed upon part. Could be an exchange of labor, information, knowledge, cash, credit or other people's labor, info, etc.

But then, WHY the urgent need? What happens after this given emergency of need of fast cash {if that is what it is}...what steps are being taken to prevent a cycle of urgent cash needs?

So, by asking ME, or at least giving me the chance to bloviate over what most would consider a simple question...to muddy the waters...

I would say it DEPENDS on what the YOU is willing to do.

For speed, nothing beats a loan, or selling something you own. Put the TV on front porch with sign, sell cheap, = FAST CASH. Put your title of a car down as collateral and get cash in an hour, again fast.

So, maybe THE you would be better off borrowing 1k dollars from a family member rather than trying to clean 20 sets of headlights in the snow.

NOW of course my answer is skewed, I know buying and selling can't be beat and there is always demand. But I have a friend who made $1k in a couple of hours by giving away a FREE daily special menu board to a restaurant and selling 3 ads on it almost instantly.

Hope others are less winded with their answers, most have come to expect some meandering bloviation floating out of my mouth, and they, of course, are right to expect it.

Re: Making Money Fast
 
Of course, you are right Gordon.

It all depends on the YOU factor.

Thanks for reminding me of the restaurant boards... I forgot how simple sales can be. Ha ! This is much better than cleaning headlights in the snow. :)

Seems to me that with all the brain trust folks here, we could put together a nice book of quick cash methods that could be sold... although I wouldn't want to step on Dien's toes. :)

Cheers,

Millard

published. Dien's 57 and then 61 MORE ways. Still one of the best and easiest to use, well researched and written, maybe we can persuade him to release them, perhaps as a SowPub collaborative up-date or something.

The man has spent the last 20 years, researching, writing about and even DOING some of the things he has discovered.

I've got a lifetime collection dating back to the American Civil War. The interesting thing is, some of those 150 year old methods still work today.

As for easy sales, yes, WE may think so, but I guarantee that 80% of the YOU who would need fast money, don't even want to think about selling anything to anybody. One of those great fears I guess.

From George Haylings, To Chase Revel, to Ron Ruiz, Dien Rice and Myself and other compilers of BUSINESS ideas, I'm sure we have a few hundred to share.
