Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

First of all I’d aim for something a little less expensive than an ipod touch. They’re like $300! The new nanos are only $150. You can always go down to home depot/lowes & get some day labor jobs. If you have nice clothes you can sell them at a consignment shop. Ask people in your neighborhood if they need chores done. Even restaurants will hire you for a week just to do dishes or w/e. There are lots of ways to make fast money!

Nagesh answers:

Do what you like the most and the money will follow!

Where are you living? (Country/State?)
What is your Major?
What school are you looking at attending?

I ask because the type of income activities I would recommend seeking, would be those that are along your interest lines. In other words – related to your major!

Now, since you know what you want the money for (Tuition) have you thought about trying to get some scholarships to help or completely pay for those costs?

But do beware! There are numerous scams and nefarious hoodlums looking to dupe both the unsuspecting Scholarship seeker and those looking for some extra income – especially those looking for easy, ‘make money at home’ variety. (Some will likely respond to this very question!)

To avoid the Scholarship Scams – do the scholarship searches at your school! The schools financial aid office has free access to all/any scholarship programs and they can help you fill out applications.

Some quick money options that some have tried and work to some extent:
~ Delivering Pizza’s $70 – $400 a night, can be done after your day job. They are usually very flexible with hours.
~ Military, yes the Military! They pay full ride scholarships for Nursing, Med School, Law School, Pilot School and more! Then a guaranteed job for 3 years at a competitive salary (often at your choice of locations). Military Officers get hired by US Fortune 500 companies as soon as they get out of the Military for significantly higher salaries than the same degree holders in the civilian world.
~ Selling blood at the local Plasma branch (averages about $35-$85 a donation depending on location)
~ Online/Phone Sex Operator: (Not recommended, but if your going to here is the legit hiring sites): www.sexyjobs.com or http://phoneactress.com/.
~ Paid Survey’s: Mostly a Con, and not great money – but a legit site for it is here: http://wahmservice.com/ (but read this article before starting: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5941/guide_to_getting_paid_for_online_surveys.html?page=2 )

$$$ Tip: Consider cutting your expenses to allow more of your money go into savings. Some initial recommendations (based on no knowledge of your particular situation): Get a roommate or move to a cheaper situation. This can save the biggest chunk in many peoples budgets by cutting the rent out! If possible buy a house and get a roommate or two to cover the entire cost of the mortgage!
Cut down on dining out and fast food costs by cooking at home. Potluck diner parties with friends or roommates’ can help to!

$$$ Tip: Once you start school, ask the school about the RA (Resident Advisor) positions – you can live in the Non-Traditional Dorms (Apartments on Post for the older students) Rent free!! – just for hanging some flyers once a week and managing the check-in/out of the apartments!

Good Luck!

Nagesh answers:

You can earn decent money babysitting assuming you are responsible and responsible looking. If you don’t already have CPR certification, do an online course for it first.
Put up flyers around your town for babysitting services and check craigslist in your local area. Also set up a profile on care.com and sittercity.com (with your parent’s permission) there are always people on there looking for babysitters.

Hi, Im 13 Years old, And about two weeks ago i needed fast money as well! I had to formulate a plan.
So i did, In a Weeks time i made $20.

What i did:

First of all, There are not any Legit money makers that will make you $230 quick, You where smart for making flyers! I did the same thing & i posted them on light poles. But it doesn’t seem to work, Well looks like im going to have to work for it.

Next i found a Spot to store all of my money, I ended up putting it in a light at the top of my closet.
Then i developed strategy of Getting money:

1.Nickle & Dimming: This is saving small change like, Pennies, Nickles & Dimes, Why? Because they add up!
There are more lost pennies then any other coin piece.

2.Find it, People are alway going to lose change, You find it, you keep it, You save it!

3.When mom & dad go to the store, Go with them, after they buy, Ask them for the left over change, they may not give you the dollar bills, But thats Ok.

4.Take advantage of what people want! We alll know 1 thing kids want & Love, Is Candy!
This is what i used to do: Go to a Gas Station, Most gas stations have thinks like airheads & gum for 5 to 10 cents, Buy a couple of them, Then go sell them for 25 cents! If you sell 4, thats a dollar right there!

5.What i like to do, just to give myself confidence in my abillity to make money is when ever i get a dollar in quaters, I ask someone for a dollar bill. Because me personally i would rather have the paper then the metal, It makes me feel good!

6.You need somthing to store your money in while your on the go! A Purse is Ok but you want something you can slip in your pocket, Get a wallet, so that you are ready for any money that might come your way.
I have a normal black wallet nothing fancy.

7. Sometimes i find Currency from other countrys, I found 1 cent from Canada the other day, And 10 Cents from Barbados, I was thinking of just asking my dad to give me 1 Penny for the 1 Canadian penny, But i changed my mind & said ill keep it.
Its good to keep currency from other countrys!

8.Do anything you can to make a buck

9.Go to the dollar Store, or some place like it, and buy a money lip its picture here —-> http://www.linksoflondon.com/dynamic/eshop/product_images/thumbnail_cache/360×360/24-classic-money-clip-image-1.jpg

10. Buy changeHolders. They are little packets that hold money, i have 5 full packets of penies. They hold about 50 cents worth of penies, they ahve them for all pecies of change, they are cheap, about a dollar

11. Use these stratagys and save up, Be serius about your money, sometimes its neccesary to spend to make more money, If you want more tips hints and tricks just ask me at: Kingowens90@yahoo.com

oh yea 1 more thing, heres 1 important 1, every dollar you get, Track it!, Go to: http://www.wheresgeorge.com/ sign up, then you will be able to enter in your dollars. Then you can know where ever they go, this is important to know!

And another thing:

Save cans! Get a trash can, and save cans in them, i saved 2 trash can fulls, and got maybe 7-10 bucks, that do not seem that good, but its money right, just go to Google.com, And type (What ever your city name) Recycleing plant
some only pay maybe 10 cents a can.
Dont think they pay for plastic
