12 Great Paying Ways To Earn Money Fast!

Do you know what time of year it is?

It’s the gift-giving time of course!

But truthfully, when isn’t it gift-giving time?

No matter what time of year it is, there is always an occasion with an expectation of giving gifts.

Whether it’s Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Anniversaries, Birthdays, etc..

And yes, these events can be quite enjoyable.

But, they’re not always the most enjoyable experience for our wallets.

And most of us can use some quick cash at any time of the year to help fund our gift-giving spirit without blowing our budget to smithereens!.

So here is a list of great paying, fast cash solutions to help you out.

And number one on the list is…

1. Waiting Tables To Earn Money Fast

Not what you were expecting?

Well, this by far one of the best ways to earn good money fast!

Standard tipping rates run about 15-20% per table. And even more in fancier restaurants.

Wait staff on average report earning approximately $100/day. Some even report earning $200, $300, or even more per day.

Of course, it all depends on the cost of the meals and how busy the restaurant gets.

The good news is that you don’t have to wait 2 weeks for a paycheck!, You get money in your hands immediately! 

But, remember to be as helpful and as friendly as possible because, the better the service, the better the tip!

On the other hand, if you want same day cash but prefer a little more freedom then try doing…

2. Yard Work

Depending on the weather, you can start mowing lawns or shoveling snow for instant cash.

During the winter months, many people hate being out in the cold to clear snow from driveways.

Or they may not have the stamina and strength to shovel heavy snow.

Additionally, many people also don’t always have the time, energy, or motivation to mow their own lawns.

So taking your shovel or lawnmower and going door to door to offer your services can earn you an average of $15-$20 per yard. And that’s fast cash in your hands today!

3. Be A Gigwalker

Need a quick gig? Then try taking a walk.

You can earn extra cash by completing tasks that provide information to companies on how they are doing.

It’s simple:

1. Download the App.
2. Register your Gigwalk Account.
3. Link your Paypal to get paid.
4. Find and complete gigs in your area.

Gigs can last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the amount of money you want to earn.

And the pay can be anywhere from $3-$100 or more.

Payments are sent directly to your Paypal account after the “gig” is completed and approved, which could take a few days.

4. Rent Your Extra Space

Is there a concert or sporting event going on in your area? Are you planning a vacation anytime soon?

Have you ever considered renting out your space?

Whether it’s your entire place or just one room, you could earn extra cash by hosting a guest.

And Airbnb makes it easy.

You set the price and chose the dates that your space is available.

Airbnb charges a flat 3%, and payment is sent to your Paypal or direct deposit once the guest checks in.

And they even provide free property damage protection.

5. Sell Your Old Cell

Remember that old cell phone, tablet or computer that you thought was worthless and don’t use anymore?

7. Have A Yard Sale

Is one person’s junk really another person’s treasure?

Well, there’s a good way to find out…have a yard sale!

It’s one of the oldest ways to get cash right away.

Almost everyone has items that they have never used or don’t use anymore.

So why have them just collecting dust in a corner or closet, when they could be collecting cash for your wallet?

Sometimes going back to the basics is best. And a traditional yard or garage sale is one of the best ways to earn quick cash and get rid of unused stuff.

You can alert your friends on social media or put out some old-fashion yard sale signs.

And you get paid in cash with each item sold.

8. Sit For A Living!

Are you good with kids or animals?

Well if you know someone that has either one, then you could always offer your self as a babysitter or even a pet sitter.

Parents are always looking for responsible people to watch their kids.

Simply let people know that you’re looking to make some extra cash.

And that you’re available to sit if they want to have a date night, run some errands, or just to have some “me time.”

You’ll be surprised at how quickly they may take you up on that offer.

Same with pet owners. Many places don’t allow animals.

So if you know a pet owner that’s going out of town, then that’s a perfect opportunity to cash in by pet-sitting.

Plus, sitters can earn about $10-$15 per hour. And it’s usually same day pay.

9. Sell Your Tasty Treats!

Do you have a signature recipe that everyone loves?

Well, it may be time to get your Betty Crocker on!

The rule of thumb is to set your prices at about 3 times the cost of ingredients.

So if it cost $0.25 cents to make each cookie, then you should charge at least $0.75 cents per cookie.

You can sell anywhere that allows. To friends, family, church events, at work, parties, weddings, etc.

Let people know by sharing pictures of your delicious treats on your social media. Post flyers in common areas. Hand out business cards. And use plain and simple word of mouth advertising.

You provide the product, and you receive payment at the time of sale.

10. Sell Your Blood or Plasma

This may make some people a bit queasy.

But the truth is that blood banks are always in need of donations.

And when people donate, it’s a win-win. You get cash the same day and the benefit of providing a potentially life-saving gift to someone in need.

According to the RedCross, there are certain age, weight, and health status requirements.

And It’s important to keep in mind that making donations should be occasional and not used as a source of income.

After all, your body needs enough time to recover and replace what you’ve donated.

Always make sure to use a reputable facility with government-approved sterilization practices.

And it’s also a good idea to consult with your physician to make sure you are healthy enough to safely make blood donations.

11. Deliver Groceries

People love convenience!

And many people would rather avoid the hassle of crowded stores and long checkout lines.

So if you have a car and don’t mind grocery shopping for other people, then consider delivering groceries.

With Instacart you can choose your own hours. Earn extra money in your spare time. And get paid weekly.

But even if you don’t have a car or don’t want to drive, they also offer In-Store Shopper only positions.

12. Drive For Uber

Need another way to make money quickly using your car?

Then be an Uber driver!

You can set your own schedule! Earn as little or as much as you want. More driving = more money!

They also offer two driving options. You can transport people. Or you can deliver packages or food from local businesses.

You decide! And you get paid on a weekly basis.
