Get Fast Cash With These 10 Money Making Tips
Looking for some brand-new lucrative ideas that’ll help you score some fast cash this year?
We have a few here that might be just what you are looking for.
Here at Great Plan Ray, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to make-money-online so that we can share them with you.
Whether you need extra money to help pay off debts, pay for guitar lessons, or just to save for the future, either way, having a source of income outside of your day job can make all the difference in the world when it comes to making money.
These tips aren’t meant to make you rich or replace your day job; these are just quick ways to earn some extra cash. If you’re looking for something a little more advanced, check out our article on ways to make more money.
1. Participate in Paid Surveys Online
Filling out surveys online is one of the oldest and easiest ways to make some extra money on the web. Companies like Survey Junkie and Swagbucks have been around longer than Facebook and have paid out millions of dollars over the years (collectively, that is).
What’s great about online surveys is they don’t take long to do and can easily be done while doing something else, so next time you’re watching The Mandalorian consider filling out a couple of surveys at the same time.
2. Use a Cash-Back Card
This one is only for those who consider themselves to be responsible with money. It involves buying stuff with a cash-back credit card instead of paying with cash or with a standard banking card; this allows you to make a little bit of money off each purchase you make.
You have to be careful with this one and always pay off the card immediately because holding a balance on it will cause you to be charged interest. The interest is usually much higher than the cash-back feature of the card.
Basically, you buy something with your cash-back credit card, then later that same day, you pay off the card, so you don’t owe anything on the car, and you just get to have some free ‘cash-back’ money at the end of the month.
Take your time choosing a card for this to make sure it doesn’t have any hidden fees.

3. Start a Blog
Many of you are energetic readers of blogs (such as this one) but have you ever before considered starting your very own? Blogging can be a moneymaker all on its own.
For the expense of a mug of coffee every month, you also can start your own lucrative blog site. You can use a service like Bluehost to host your website or go through Wix (which offers a month free).
Blogs can provide you:
- An extra source of income
- A job where you can work from home
- A job where you are the boss
- The ability to set your own schedule

4. Sell Old Items That You No Longer Use
Do you have an old phone lying around? Or maybe a large collection of Blue-Ray’s and DVD’s that you don’t watch anymore since getting Netflix? Or maybe some old college textbooks that you have no longer have any use for?
Whatever you’ve got, there’s probably someone out there who would like to buy it. Check the local buy and sell pages for your neighborhood on Facebook or download the Decluttr app, which offers a fast and easy way to sell your unwanted stuff using your phone. It’s a great place to sell old phones, video games, CDs, e-readers, video game consoles, and more.
For textbooks especially, look into BookScouter. They’re the ideal location to go because they compare prices across 44 different suppliers, simultaneously, to see to it that you get the best price for your book.
5. Get Paid to Lose Weight
This one might seem a bit weird, but if you have been looking to slim down, there’s a chance you could be paid to do it.
HealthyWage is a health and wellness company that regularly runs fitness challenges that offer cash prizes.
Check them out here to learn more. If weight loss is your goal, consider getting a weight loss program such as the one offered here.
6. Create Your Own Online Course
Is there something you’re particularly knowledgeable about or skilled in that other people would likely want to learn? Have you considered teaching people about it? While this is a bigger endeavor than the other options we’ve gone over here, I think it is an important one to bring up because so few people ever consider it.
Create your own course to teach people how to do something isn’t as hard as it may seem, and you can easily post it on somewhere like Skillshare and potentially makes passive income for months and even years to come as more and more people take your course.
7. Deliver with Uber Eats (or skipthedishes, doordash, etc.)
As an Uber Eats driver, you can choose your very own hours and which orders you want to deliver. This allows you to do this on the side of your full-time job and easily make some extra money.
The requirements to become are;
- Must have a Full Class Drivers license
- Must be at least 21 years of age or older
- Must have a 2-door or 4-door car that’s 20 years old or newer
- Vehicle registration and proof of vehicle insurance
- Legally Able to work in the country
- Must have a clean driving record

8. Become a Part-time Transcriptionist
If you are a fast typer with strong attention to detail and great listening skills, you may want to consider becoming a transcriptionist. Transcriptionists make an average of $245 per month, but the top paid ones make closer to $1500 per month.
This depends on how many gigs you take each month. As with driving for uber eats or many of the other money-making ideas here, working as a transcriptionist is a job where you are able to set your own hours and decide how much time you want to dedicate to it each month.
