How Can I Raise $3000 In One Week?

If there was one fool-proof way to make money quickly, we'd all be rolling around in 'Benjamins' and driving Lamborghini Gallardos.

The truth is, making $3000 in a week isn't easy.

Here are a few suggestions about how you might go about it, though:

How to make thousands of dollars in one week

These days, short of robbing a bank, it's pretty tough trying to rustle up $3000 in just seven days.

Things you could try out include:

• drug trials - you can be paid thousands of dollars for volunteering to take part in a drug trial. You may end up with hairy palms, but they'll be very rich hairy palms.

• selling something - This is a pretty obvious way of making money, but if you get creative, it can turn into a fairly profitable idea. Selling your pet hamster or your electric guitar might make a bit of cash - but you could also try selling things like your hair.

Good quality locks can go for hundreds of dollars, although you'll end up looking like Moby 'til it grows back!

• auctions - work in much the same way. If you've got any collectible items, then selling them in an auction is a really great idea.

Sites like eBare.co.uk take the idea to a kinky level, and you can auction off anything from used underwear to old shoes this way.

• advertising - is the way many people make money these days (including this site!). Coming up with a really popular idea for a blog or website might land you a massive advertising contract if you can persuade enough people to visit your website.

You can even take the advertising game to the next level by offering to get a temporary tattoo of a company on your forehead in exchange for some dollar bills.

• police ID parade - This is one the of the more unusual suggestions I've come across. Nowadays, police tend to use video ID parades rather than actually having people lined up in front of a one-way mirror.

But you can still earn a few bucks by volunteering to be filmed for this purpose. Contact your local police department for more information.
