Need some fast cash? It is nearing the end of the month after all.  Maybe you need help paying some bills or buying groceries, or maybe you just really want to earn extra money to add a little more cushion to your money pillow.

If any of these things sound familiar, here are 6 ways to earn $100 this week outside of your typical job.

1. Clean out your closet.  I am willing to bet you have something hiding out in your closet that you no longer use and that someone would pay you for.  Most of us do. Spend a couple of hours going through stuff that you no longer use and you might be surprised at the amount of money you can get.
2. Rice and Beans.  Don’t go grocery shopping this week, instead eat what you have.  If that means that you will be eating rice and beans for the week then so be it.  You can do it!
3. Sell your plasma.  If you aren’t too afraid of needles, head on in and sell your plasma.  You often get a bonus for being a first time donor. Most plasma centers pay $20 to $50 per donation.
4. Sell your sperm.  Okay, a weird topic I know, but did you know that you can earn up to $1,000 per month donating sperm?  No joke.
5. Have a yard sale.  Throw together a quick yard sale over the weekend.  This is especially true in the spring which tends to be at the beginning of yard sale season when the hunt for the best deals is on.
6. Check ISO posts or bulletin boards.  Go online to your local Craigslist and check the help wanted listings. Oftentimes people need help for a single project such as helping them move or doing yard work.  Alternatively, check bulletin boards in your local stores or gathering places where people often post the same type of notices.
