How to earn Extra Money in Unusual Ways

without finding a second job? You are in luck because there are methods you can use to make this happen. You will learn unusual ways to earn spare cash.

The first unusual method we will discuss to earn spare cash can draw attention to you in addition to being strange. This method involves collecting aluminum cans to recycle for cash.

Over fifteen years ago, I collected aluminum cans. Three days a week, I would walk a long distance on different routes looking for cans. Each time I saw a can, I flattened it and put it into a plastic bag. I ended up taking one to two bags full of cans to an aluminum recycling truck that paid twenty-five to fifty cents a pound.
When you pick up cans off the street, be careful how you handle them because some of them are cut up or have sharp edges. You should also be careful to not touch the mouth openings of the cans. Although I earned money walking around and picking up cans, I felt a little uncomfortable doing it. To collect a lot of cans, you have to really want to do it and not care what others think about you doing it.

Another unusual way to earn spare cash is to sell strange items at auctions and on e-Bay. Items that are considered unnecessary by normal people often sell more frequently than items that are considered to be beneficial to most people. Some people will pay big bucks for things such as a strange-looking piece of food from someone’s unfinished meal.

Sign up for an online account with Send Earnings, Snap Dollars, Deals’n’Cash and Hits 4 Pay. In addition to paying you to take surveys or view ads, they give you anywhere from three to ten dollars for signing up.
Do you have old comic books and early issues for popular action figures? You might find a collector or bidder willing to pay thousands of dollars.

Look for coins around vending machines. You can sometimes find some quarters and dimes on the floor or inside the slots.

Respond to help-wanted ads and announcements in your E-mail that invite you to participate in a focus group or mock trial. There are businesspeople willing to pay you 100 to 150 dollars to spend a few hours doing this.
