Personal finance experts have revealed that hard up Americans can make an extra $30 per session and do a good deed by donating blood plasma. Blood plasma is needed to make medications for people with blood clotting issues, and Americans can donate plasma several times a month safely. The Wealth of Geeks personal finance blog has unveiled this unusual money-making idea as part of a special guide of 41 ways to make quick money for those who are feeling the pinch.
Michael Dinich, personal finance expert and founder of Wealth of Geeks, said that many people think that the only way to make extra money these days is online, but there are many ways people can generate an extra income stream or quick cash offline without a phone or computer. Dinich added that while the blood plasma idea is a little unusual, it is a great thing to do and make money at the same time.
Other offline money-making activities in the Wealth of Geeks guide include washing cars, selling items from home, taking care of pets, setting up a dog walking company, or offering to support an already established dog walking company. The Rover app is also recommended as a way to snap up dog walking or pet sitting gigs. The guide points out that all sorts of people need help around the home or office with tasks like putting together or taking apart furniture, clearing garages or gardens, help with shopping or appointments, or mowing lawns.
Michael added that there are many people out there who need this sort of help, and all one has to do is get their name out there and start working. The guide offers tips on how people can get started, and it could escalate into something bigger. Wealth of Geeks has listed something for everyone, from filling out online surveys to driving for Uber or even flipping cars.
The blog is designed to make personal finance fun and offers a whole range of tips and advice on potential side hustles, managing money, and fun stuff around travel, food, and favorite TV programs and movies.
