6 Ways to Get Extra Cash

There are times when everyone needs a little extra cash. This money can be used to help pay for your bills during a tough month or go towards funding a new vacation. Since you likely already have a full-time job, that does not leave much free time in your life. Luckily, a limited schedule does not have to stop you from building your bank account. These are six easy ways to get extra cash.

 

Get Rid of Unwanted Items

 

There is a very good chance that you have a lot of stuff sitting around the house that is not being used on a regular basis. This could include lightly-worn clothes, electronics, tools or regular household items. There is absolutely no reason to let this stuff collect dust when you need some extra money. Join one of the popular selling apps and start putting your gently used stuff up for sale. It is up to you whether you feel more comfortable shipping your items or meeting up in person to complete the sale.

 

Sell Your Junk Car

 

You will be surprised about how much money you can get for a junk car. It doesn’t even matter if the car is able to run. There is still a very good chance that you will get at least a few hundred dollars for a car that is just gathering rush in your driveway. Junk cars still command a lot of money because they are stripped for parts by professionals. If you have a junk car that will never be driven again, then it is time to sell it.

 

Become Rideshare Driver

 

Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are popular ways for millions of people to get around their local city. Since these apps are so popular, they are always looking for new drivers. The great thing about driving for a rideshare app is that you can work whenever you want. All you have to do is open the app every time you are ready to pick up a passenger. The app will then show all of the available fares in the area. You will need a car in fairly good condition in order to qualify as a driver.

 

Deliver Food and Groceries

 

More and more people are getting their restaurant orders and groceries delivered every day. The convenience of getting everything you want without leaving the house is just too enticing for people. You can take advantage of this booming industry by becoming a delivery driver. Once you accept a delivery, you will get a list of everything the customer wants. You will then pick up these items and take them directly to the customer’s front door. You will get paid a set fee based on the distance and duration of the delivery once it is completed.

 

Start Tutoring Kids

 

If you have a college degree, then you can let your education help you make some extra cash by becoming a tutor. There will never be a shortage of kids struggling with their schoolwork. You can use your general education to tutor middle school and high school students. You can also help college students in your field of expertise. Since tutoring is such a big business, there are several apps that help connect struggling students with qualified tutors. The great thing about tutoring is that you can do it completely online if there are no needy students in your local area.

 

Watch Local Children

 

If you have a history of taking care of children, then you can put your skills to good use by becoming a babysitter. Parents are always looking for a way to have a fun night out after having children. This desperation often makes babysitting a very lucrative side job. Start off by letting your friends know you are looking for babysitting opportunities. If you do not have any friends with young children, then you can sign up for one of the popular websites that matches qualified babysitters with parents.
