Need Some Extra Cash? Website Compiles 50 Ways To Make $50

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Money is tight for most people these days. With the holidays coming, there's no question we could all use a little extra cash.

Money Talks News recently listed 50 ways to make a fast $50.

First, turn your car into a billboard.

You can get paid $250 to $600 a month to put ads on your car.

Printscape at Southpointe applies the advertising wraps for all kinds of companies.

Printscape's General Manager Darin Smith says some people think it damages the vehicle, but it actually protects it.

"Think of when you're outside in winter, driving on the highway, salt and debris going all over the place. Well, that's acting as a shield for your paint like a bug deflector and when you take it off, it's like brand new," Smith says.

To get your car wrapped, you can sign up on websites like Vehicle Commercial and Auto Wrapped.

Second, you've heard of making money driving for Uber, but did you know you can drive part-time for Amazon and other delivery services?

Amazon Flex offers $18 to $25 an hour and they need drivers for holiday deliveries.

Third, you can sell your hair.

Those celebrities you see with their long, full locks? They come from real people like you, whose hair becomes extensions.

On the website Buy And Sell Hair, hair is selling for up to $900.

Fourth, you can also get paid to donate your plasma, which is part of your blood.

It takes about 90 minutes and you can earn $20 to $50. The best part is, you could be saving someone's life with your plasma donation

Fifth, with all the health care in our region, researchers want you to study you.

Several websites like Clinical Connection can connect you with medical studies that need testers, and you could get compensated for your time and travel.

There are also lots of ways you can earn money without even leaving the comfort of your own home.

For example, you can become an online juror.

Attorneys test out their cases with regular people and they want your opinion. You can get paid $5 to $10 a case.

You can make up to $30 an hour testing out websites.

You simply try out the site or app and verbally express your opinion. Check out the website User Testing to sign up.

And if you have old phones and tablets collecting dust, sell them.

Sites like Gazelle or Next Worth will offer sometimes more than $100 depending on the condition and newness of the item.
