Method 4: Sell Crafts on Etsy

If you’re an artistic person, selling your wares on www.etsy.com might be a good option if you’re looking to raise cash quickly. If you’re unfamiliar with the site, it’s a place where artisans can sell various homemade goods in a thick, online marketplace.

Some important things to note about Etsy are the following: 1) everything you sell must be something you made yourself; 2) it costs 20 cents to list an item for 4 months; and 3) each sale will incur a 3.5% transaction fee.

As far as what you can sell on Etsy goes, hot sellers include pieces of art, bags and purses, candles, toys for children, crocheted items, holiday decorations, quilts, vintage pieces, and wedding decorations.

For a basic overview of the “dos and don’ts” of selling on Etsy, you should view the guide they’ve placed online here: http://www.etsy.com/dosdonts.php.

While there are many ways to make money with Etsy, the experts suggest that
building items around a single theme and specializing is one of the best ways to get noticed and to sell items. This is usually a better option that creating a lot of disparate items in different categories.

Overall, Etsy provides a good opportunity to make money online fast; and while doing something you enjoy already. However, if you’re not particularly artistic or don’t have an interest in crafts, then Etsy may not be a good option for you.

Method 7: Become a Freelance Writer

Before we get into this one, it’s important to keep in mind that freelance writing is not for everyone.

One easy way to raise some cash fast is to work as an administrative assistant.

Other than that, you will probably be given a detailed set of instructions that explain exactly what you should be doing on a daily basis. When looking for administrative assistant jobs, a good place to look is www.elance.com . If you need immediate payment, you should look for one-time, small jobs. Put in a low bid; and offer to work around the clock until you complete it.
