Make Money By Donating Your Plasma

Wait, say that again??? 

We all know you can donate blood, but did you know that you can make money donating your plasma

What Is Plasma?

Plasma is the yellowish liquid component in which our platelets and blood cells are suspended.

Make money donating plasma
Make Money Donating Plasma And Save Lives

We all have it in our bodies!

A machine separates the plasma from the blood cells. The process is similar to donating blood but it takes longer.  After the plasma has been separated, the blood components are returned to the body.

I must say I have never done it, but I had a coworker who donated his plasma regularly and he was paid about $75 each time. He even made referrals and got paid for his friends’ plasma donations too. Check with your doctor first before doing this and don’t even think about it if you’re anemic or unhealthy.

At BioLife Plasma Services, the site states that new donors can earn up to $900 the first month by donating their plasma. Give them a call for their updated prices.

Advertise On Your Car  

Talk about passive income. All you do is go about your merry way doing errands, driving to and from anywhere. This is another of many easy ways to make some extra cash with ads on your car. Although your car might not look cute being driven with ads on it, nevertheless you can make quite a bit of money per month. Some drivers earn as much as over $400 per month.

Be prepared for the process:

● Download their app.

● Maintain up to date vehicle insurance. 

● Fill out an application and answer questions.

● Have your car wrapped. 

A legitimate company will not ask you for an application fee nor ask you to pay for your car to be wrapped. Some companies have a vehicle age requirement, perform a background check and require a minimum number of miles driven per day. If you’re embarrassed about driving with ads on your car, ask each company about leaving your car wrapped and parked in high traffic areas because some do offer that service.

Flipping houses is a lucrative side hustle. You could approach it from different angles, for example:

  • You could buy a fixer upper house the conventional way at a bargain price, get a bank mortgage, quickly fix it up, then sell it at a profit.
  • You could also acquire the property at a foreclosure sale or bid on the property at an auction.
  • Another way is buying it from a distressed seller without even going through a bank at all and with no money down.

These techniques are not easy ways to make some extra cash though. Bookmark our site and follow us on Pinterest because we will blog about this in greater detail in the future.

You could also BE A GHOSTWRITER and list your talent on Upwork.

 

Blogging 

Blogging is an exceptional way to make money. I wouldn’t exactly say it’s in the same category as some of the other easy ways to make some extra cash. If you take the time to monetize your blog with ads and affiliate marketing links then you can set yourself up with great passive income for life.  This is an excellent and lucrative home-based business. You can host your blog inexpensively on Bluehost, for less than $3 per month with their ongoing special. 

 If you want to test the waters and start blogging without investing any money, we’ve got you covered. 

 

Blogger

Google has a product called Blogger. Everything that you need to create a blog for free and launch it can be found on this platform and you don’t even have to pay for hosting or domain registration using a blogspot domain. This method is best suited for hobby bloggers. If you have absolutely no money at all, Blogger would suffice until you are able to get a self-hosted blog. These sites can be shut down at any time by Google which would put you in a panic to get a new domain as well as hosting and transfer it to another platform.

In January 2024, Google announced discontinuing its free Business Profile Sites beginning in March 2024.

Blogging can be added to the list of easy ways to make some extra cash with training and patience.  There are free and paid courses just waiting to help you. Check out the free trial period for blogging classes on Skill Share.

You can also get basic, free affiliate marketing tips from several Bloggers on Pinterest to get you started.

There is a plethora of free tools that can help with free content creation as well. Pretty soon you’ll be creating your own courses and podcasts. Don’t overlook the benefits of paid courses to learn how to do this. If you’re just starting out, “free” will fit better in your budget for now but investing in your education and training will be a wise move in the future. 

 

Start A Home-Based Business

Looking for ideas to start a home-based business?

In fact, several of the easy ways to make some extra cash mentioned above are ideas for home-based businesses as well.  According to Lynn Richardson at www.AboutMyMoney.biz everyone should have a side hustle and or a home-based business! You don’t even need a tax ID number she said. All you need is your social security number and your name. So whether you choose to sell Avon, MaryKay, be a DJ, mow lawns or blog about babies or recipes, you can and should have a home-based business!

Your business will open you up to the possibility of taking hundreds of deductions on many things such as cell phones, laptop, hotels, travel, flights, business luncheons and so much more. Don’t leave any money on the table… the rich are doing it and so can you!

You would need to keep very good records and track your expenses.  There are many advantages to having an online business such as not having the overhead of renting office space. The tax advantages are insane. The IRS says you could legally employ your underaged children but only if they are yours and not someone else’s!!! Put your household on your payroll. I’ll bet your kids know more about the internet than you do and can build a website better than you can 😉 

Children can also do tasks such as responding to emails under your supervision. They can be your VA, update your blog, build your site, post links, proofread and do filing. Your younger kids can clean your home office, dust, take out the trash and so much more. They can be employed by you even if they’re 8 years old.

Let your kids earn their allowance while you gain a tax write off!

Don’t use the word “vacation” in your vocabulary… call it a business trip and write it off because you will be discussing the family business on the plane, at the restaurant or hotel and while sipping margaritas or pina coladas on the beach or by the pool. 

Home Based Business Trips
Discuss business while enjoying family business trips

 

Check with your accountant for more details, legalities and what you can and can’t do.  That being said, here are some more home-based business ideas:

■ If you love walking dogs, you could start a dog walking business or even a pet grooming business.  

■ How about a landscaping business?  You could advertise for clients and hire workers to mow lawns and shovel snow. Of course you’d have to buy equipment.

Selling your cell phone pictures could be a fun home-based business.  Whether they are pictures of scenery or your feet

■ Earlier we mentioned listing homes for rent on AirBnB even if you don’t own them. This is a very lucrative side hustle.

■ I know a couple people who have started a house cleaning business with just some cleaning supplies and a vacuum cleaner.

■ If you love writing books you could start a publishing business. You could write books yourself or have your ghost writer do the writing. You could also make journals, diaries, calendars, notebooks, eBooks and low content books for sale online. 

■ After 2 years of being a licensed Realtor you could take an online class to become a real estate broker.  You can have Realtors working for you OR just work alone as a broker. You get to keep all your commission without the overhead.

Blogging is a great example of a home-based business and there is no ceiling on the income you can make. Host your website for less than $3 per month with Bluehost’s ongoing special. 

 

 

Invest In Fractional Shares 

A fractional share is a portion of a stock that is equal to less than a full share.

Solid tech giants like Amazon (ticker AMZN) as well as Google (ticker GOOGL) are great stocks to buy fractional shares of.  Fractional shares will often result after a stock has split. Amazon and Google both underwent a split in 2022 and their prices have been drastically reduced from thousands per share to under $200 per share.  This price might still be too high for some people to afford. If you want to open an account for the benefit of a child or for yourself, you could start out by obtaining a fraction of a share.  If you opened an account with $50 for example, that’s not enough to buy one share of Amazon but you could buy a fraction of that share for starters. 

 

 

Where Are Fractional Shares?

Actually, many online brokers offer fractional shares! Here are 4.

Dividends Stocks 

Last on our list of easy ways to make some extra cash but by no means the least is the Stock Market. 

 We saved this one for last due to the volatility of the market and the potential risks involved.

Please note that if you invest in the Stock Market, you do so at your own risk.  Information in this blog post is not investment recommendations. The stock market can be intimidating. It can be your worst nightmare as well as a godsend that pays you dividends monthly and quarterly.

Retirees looking for ways to supplement their income will invariably turn to dividend stocks or REITs. These companies are required to pay at least 90% of their taxable income back to shareholders as dividends! There are many stocks that pay dividends so it’s difficult to know just where to start. “The Motley Fool” has valuable information on stocks and so does

Monthly and quarterly dividends can add up to a substantial amount of money. This type of passive recurring income has helped me with paying my living expenses. Dividends can also be reinvested as well. Having a sizable principal balance that you don’t need to spend in the near future such as an IRA, Roth or a savings account helps. It is never a good idea to put all your money on one stock. Do your own due diligence before investing in stocks.
