Method 2: Find a Freelance Tutoring Job


Much like finding a babysitting job, finding a tutoring job is another excellent way to make money fast. Not only is possible to get a job that starts tonight, but there’s also a good chance that you’ll get paid in cash on the spot. And when you’re in a bind, it doesn’t get much better than that.

When it comes to tutoring, there’s a good chance that the student or the student’s parents will want you to have some sort of formal credentials. In some cases, they’ll simply want you to be in college. In other cases, they’ll want you to have a bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree. And in other cases, they’ll want you to have significant prior teaching and/or tutoring experience.

If you’re already starting to worry that your credentials may not be sufficient,
don’t. If you satisfy even one of the criteria, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a bunch of tutoring gigs; and then leverage them into future gigs (if you decide to continue with it).

Before you do anything else, start by creating a resume that focuses on skills that you have that are pertinent to tutoring. This should include all prior teaching and tutoring experience, all degrees you hold, all standardized tests scores (if relevant), all reference you have from past tutoring work you have done, and all relevant coursework you have done on the collegiate level

Once you finish typing up your resume in Word, spend some time to format it so that it looks nice, and then save it in PDF format. Whenever you send out
applications for prospective tutoring jobs, you should always attach a copy of
your resume.

Now that everything is prepared, your next step is to look for tutoring jobs online. Again, you can do this through www.care.com and www.collegehelpers.com (if you are in college). Another great source of tutoring jobs is www.craigslist.org. If you do decide to search for tutoring jobs through www.craigslist.org, one thing you’ll notice is that many of the tutoring jobs are posted by agencies. If you want to continue to do tutoring in the long term, working through an agency may be your best option. If you’re looking for short-term work agencies may not be your best option, as they are unlikely to pay in cash; and will require you to do through a lengthy application process.
On the other hand, if you do want longer term jobs, you should seek out all of the agency jobs and post an application on each agency website.

Method 6: Freelance as an Administrative Assistant

One easy way to raise some cash fast is to work as an administrative assistant. Usually, this means doing things like record-keeping, database entry, and other repetitive tasks; however, in other situations, it might mean something like submitting links to directories, managing an affiliate program, or something like that. Whatever the case may be, the only requirement is usually that you be good with computers and with the Microsoft Office suite of products. 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. If you do a good job, there’s a chance the client will release the funds to you within days, which you can then transfer to your PayPal account...

Method 17: Offer Services to Internet Marketers

As an Internet marketer, you understand the sales process. You know how to create ad campaigns, exchange links, create sales-letters, manage autoresponders, create check-out pages—and all the other things that Internet marketers do on a daily basis. As it turns out, this can be very useful if you’re in a bid and need cash. You can simply offer your services to Internet marketers on forums and in other places in exchange for small fees. For instance, if you need to make $50/day for the next week, then offer to submit a site’s link to 50 directories for $5. You should have no problem pulling in 10 sales per day with that a strategy like that.

Method 14: Use Myspace Forums to Sell Products

Social media has proven itself to be one of the best venues for marketing products in a hurry. In the past, Internet marketers have held contests to see how much they can make in one day, one week, or one month by creating a new product and selling it through a social marketing medium. When it comes to this type of project, there are two things to ask yourself: 1) what type of product should you sell? And 2) what medium should you sell it in? In this section, I will cover how to sell on Myspace forums. In the next section, we’ll consider Twitter. Let’s start with the types of products you might want to sell on Myspace. What Product to Sell You might immediately assume that you should sell one of your flagship products, but in fact, social media sites are not always the best place to do this. For this reason, you will want to answer this question by doing market research, rather than simply picking a product and running with it. One way you can approach this is to...
