A quick way to make 3 grand

[Marty McFly]

Inspire me with some ideas. My cards are maxed out and I need 3 grand fast. Ebay is not working for me.

[moonrambler]

What talents/skills do you have?

Sell vouchers for future work?

This way you can sell 3000 dollars worth of work in 1 week... you just have to comply later

Manual labor. Go to a bar and see if they need a barback for the night, you can easily grab a $100-200 doing this a night. Stop by work crews (landscaping, etc) and see if they need an extra hand for the day. If you NEED non-sustainable cash quickly, and don't have any other skills established to monetize, then manual labor is pretty much your only ticket. Of course, you could start selling things on Craigslist also.

Cr@p, that was my idea . . . .

I won't get away with robbing a bank in this day and age. Maybe shoplifting like Steve Pavlina would be an option though...

Obviously, you don't know the right people.

man yeah a quick 3,000 bucks...
I've been looking for something too. Maybe you could put on your business face and swing by a personal finance/stock broker's office, or someone with ALOT of knowledge of business and the fluctuating market, and offer to take them out to lunch for exchange of some knowledge. Maybe they know of some company that is going to go big real soon, they slip you the name, you put 500$ in (or however much) and let it grow! I bet there are some amazing stock market opportunities out there, trick is finding them.

[spydermann]

or buy a cheap car (with insurance tho)...and go cruise the boulevard real slow late on a friday night when all those rich and careless teens are speeding around town...

a good solid fender bender done on their fault could put some money in your pocket.

Is it really that easy? I wouldn't know where to start.

[Carl Carlson IV]

Drugs?

Seriously though, it's hard to get a quick and easy $3k for most people. Why not instead setup a plan for your debt?

[The Rock]

Well as far as Internet Marketing is concerned, PPC can make you $3K in a day. But then again you need capital to go into PPC...

It is probably this "need money fast" idea that got you into debt in the first place.

Success doesn't happen overnight. Just stop spending more money than you are making, and guess what? You will no longer have financial problems.

Hi Marty McFly,


Yard and garage sales have been known to fetch a lot of money over a few days or weekends.

A few thousand dollars wouldn't be out of the question if you have enough items, I think.

If you have a lot of useful, interesting merchandise that you don't want, or know someone else who does, perhaps that could help.

Then all you have to do,advertise a bit, display the items, sit back and watch and hopefully you'll get buyers.

Take care

Borrow a truck or van and cruise around your town after the garbage is put ont he street but before the trash trucks come. Everywhere you see an item that has value pick it up and resell that item. It is simply amazing how much money a good dedicated person can earn.

Sell something you all ready own like a camera, computer, etc. I am always selling my stuff to buy other things. I have my own little economy happening at times.

That's actually a very novel and doable idea. Pick them up and sell 'em on eBay or CraigsList.

You could beg on the street. That might be "below" you but I have heard that homeless people often make up to $45,000 a year by standing on a street corner every day.

I recall reading an fmylife that said something like "today I stopped and talked to a homeless man on the side of the street. I asked him what it was like to struggle to feed himself every day. I then found out that he makes more in a day than I make in a week" lol.

That depends on the kind of city you are living in.

Maybe you could put on your business face and swing by a personal finance/stock broker's office, or someone with ALOT of knowledge of business and the fluctuating market, and offer to take them out to lunch for exchange of some knowledge.

Most stockbrokers aren't much better than chance. Even if there are some that are better than chance you have no way of distinguishing one that is from one that isn't.
As Curtis2011 wrote above, that kind of mindset is usually the reason why people aren't wealthy. Seeking for the magic opportunity that makes you wealthy instead of making achievable longterm plans is ineffective.
