Nearly everyone has found themselves in a place where they could use a quick infusion of cash. Thankfully, there are a ton of ways to make money in this world. I’ve compiled a list of 50 51 ways to make 50 dollars fast. Look over the list, see what looks good to you, and give it a try. If you’ve got another idea, please leave it in the comments and I’ll add it to the bonus section. Happy idea hunting!

The rewards site that works. I have belonged to Swagbucks for a few years, and earned a few gift cards and such, but serious Swaggernauts can make big bucks on the site by filling out surveys, playing games, and watching videos. You’ll earn more faster if you get your friends to sign up, too.

You get a $10 gift card, or $5 Paypal cash, just for joining, then you earn cash back on your online shopping, or for referring your friends to Ebates. This is the easiest money I’ve ever made! I installed the Ebates extension on my Chrome browser to remind me to use Ebates every time I shop, and I’ve shared it will all my friends and family.

3. Clear out your bookshelves and cash in with to figure out which book buyers will give you the most money for each item. You’ll get the highest payout from current textbooks, but even smaller amounts can add up. Shipping is free in most cases!

4. Sell those fashionable-but-never-worn garments at sites like ThreadUp. If you sign up through this link, you get $20 in credit to spend on your first purchase. How awesome is that?

5. Rent out your house on Airbnb. Bunk with a friend and split the cash.

7. Sell stuff on eBay. Choose a short auction time to get your money quickly. I just rounded up some excess stuff in our house and sold it for $128 total!

9. Deliver pizzas or other food. Pizza joints are always looking for more drivers. If you have access to a reliable car, you could pick up some extra cash fast. Heck, you might even be able to make cash tonight!

11. Have a yard sale.

12. Offer plant sitting and/or plant care services.

13. Tutor students having trouble in subjects in which you’re great. Tutors typically make a fairly high hourly wage. Choose between being a solo tutor (more money per hour, harder time getting started) and working for a company (less money per hour, easier time getting started.)

14. Sign up with a temporary staffing agency like Manpower. Most jobs will be during regular, weekday business hours, but some jobs will have crazy shifts. When I went to the Financial Blogger Conference in October, I met a girl who was temping as a greeter at a cocktail party. Go figure.
