One reason is that the person does not have much time with the duties of family and work tugging at their sleeves.
The other is that the person needs to get their hands on money in a very quick time.
Both of these reasons require very different strategies.
For the person needing money in a hurry, here are a few strategies:
- Sell your unneeded possessions on eBay.
Take pictures with a digital camera and list the items for auction on eBay.
List as many items as possible to ensure that at least some will sell and that you will raise your cash quickly. - Offer to do chores or errands for your neighbors.
Post flyers on the grocery store bulletin board or go door to door and speak directly with your neighbors.
People usually have chores just waiting to be done and you could be a God-send to these people.
If they do not have chores, ask them which of their friends, family or neighbors do they know who might have work for you. - Have a car wash or set up a lemonade stand.
Create big cardboard signs and get some helium balloon and enlist the help of friends to drive traffic your way.
Make it noisy and seem like fun.
People will be attracted by the noise and antics and naturally want to be a part of the excitement.
It will require a steep learning curve since there is much to learn, but once you learn and set up the system, it will be virtually passive income with very little ongoing maintenance.
You can learn internet marketing from many different places, but do not spend a ton of money on courses or coaches.
It is not necessary.
All that is necessary is your willingness to learn.
When you have that attitude, things will come to your attention.
Pay attention to the things that do not cost a bunch of money.
And especially pay attention to the many internet scams that will promise that you can make a ton of money with no effort.
