Money might be the root of all evil, but it’s a necessary evil – we can’t live our life without it. And, no matter how much of it we make each month, somehow there’s always room for more. I’m sure you – just like me – are constantly looking for new ways to make an extra buck. And I am also sure that you have already heard all the standard tips on how to do that: sell stuff, walk dogs, write a blog and so on. In this article I will present to you three very different – and somewhat unusual -ways to make cash that you might consider trying.
1. Sell your blood plasma
Not your usual money making tip, is it?
Blood plasma is the component of blood that holds the blood cells in suspension. It makes up about 55% of the total blood volume of one’s body. It is a mixture of dissolved proteins, minerals and other useful “ingredients”. Blood plasma is used in the pharmaceutical industry, to help patients with clotting disorders, victims of burns or those with kidney or liver diseases. And some clinics will pay good money for it.
I know it sounds frightening. Actually it’s a pretty safe procedure. The Atlantic has an excellent article on the matter – read more about it here.
2. Play online casino games
The main goal of casino games is entertainment – but they can often be a good source of extra income, too, especially if you know which games to play. Most blackjack and video poker games you can play at the Canadian Royal Vegas casino are known as some of the most generous and safe casino games, offering you (the player) an almost 50% chance to win a hand. Which is not bad at all, not even compared to a lottery.
By joining an online casino you can combine entertainment with money making in the easiest way possible. Besides, the Canadian Royal Vegas online casino will even treat you with amazing promotions to keep your interest up. And sometimes its prizes are amazing. Earlier this year Royal Vegas players had the chance to win one of five amazing experiences – like a week at Sweden’s Ice Hotel, complete with watching the northern lights. And this is just one of the many specials the Royal Vegas has for you.
3. Recycle
You would be surprised how many of the things you usually throw away can be recycled. It might also come as a surprise to you that some companies are willing to pay for these recycled materials. There are several materials and items you can recycle for money: glass, metals, paper, electronics, clothing. According to a recent EPA estimate, about 75% of all the things in the garbage can be recycled. Why not turn your scrap into cash?
