If you find yourself struggling financially or simply wanting to earn a little extra to go on a trip, buy that thing you’ve been wanting, or any other reason, here are 8 ways you can make money this weekend.
Delivering Food
Delivering food through DoorDash or Grubhub is a great way to earn some extra money really quickly. You will have to get set up with their app as a delivery driver which can take a few days. But once you’re good with one or both of those companies, you will be good to start making money this weekend.
It is not uncommon to make $100-$200 per day with these apps during the weekend. It will, of course, depend on what hours you decide to work, what restaurants you deliver from, etc. But this is a really good way to make some extra money fast.
Flipping Furniture
Flipping furniture is another really good way to make money this weekend. You might find it easier if you have a truck or a van but you don’t have to have one.
All you have to do is find a couch (or other piece of furniture) on Offer Up or Facebook Marketplace for $50 or less (and believe me, they are out there) and clean it and fix any problems with it and you can easily flip it for $200-400.
Here is an article about how I have done exactly that.
Liquidation Pallet Flipping
Another great way that I have made money quickly is by reselling liquidation pallets.
These pallets are items returned, overstocked, or discontinued by Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, etc. from customers.
Depending on the size of the pallet, where you get it, and the quality of the items, you can purchase these from about $200-$800.
You then take the items out, make sure they work and all of the pieces are there and then list them on Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, etc.
I usually list them for about ⅔ of the retail value and usually sell them for about ½ of the retail value.
And it is common to double (and sometimes triple) the money that you invested in the pallet.
For example, the last liquidation pallet that I purchased was for $650. I sold everything on that pallet (with a couple exceptions that I kept for myself) for $1,388.
Have a Yard Sale
Most of us have way too much stuff. If you find yourself living in a world of clutter and you need some money quickly, have a yard sale!
The amount of money that you can make is dependent on a multitude of factors. But simply having a yard sale can help you declutter your house and mind as well as make some extra money this weekend.
And if you don’t want to have a yard sale, you can simply sell individual items on Facebook Marketplace as well.
Ubering
The next way that you can make money this weekend is to start driving for Uber or Lyft.
This will take a little time to set up (maybe a few days or so). So if you want to do it, make sure that you plan ahead.
Also you will have to drive a newer vehicle with certain specifications depending on your state and/or city. So make sure to take that into consideration.
When I was driving for Uber and Lyft I made an average of $22/hour after expenses. Sometimes I did better and sometimes I did worse.
But if you can handle other people being in your car and don’t mind driving around for the day, driving for Uber or Lyft might be a really good way to earn some extra money this weekend.
Power Washing
Power washing other people’s houses and driveways is another really good way to make some extra cash.
Don’t have a power washer? That’s okay. Just rent one from Home Depot or Lowes. Yes, it will cut into your profits but you will still make money.
You’ll have to have a truck, van, or SUV to do this most likely.
If you don’t mind getting a little dirty and being outside in the heat of the summer, this might be a really good option.
Amazon Flex
Another really good way to make money fast is by delivering packages with Amazon Flex.
With Amazon Flex, you will deliver packages to people’s homes with your own vehicle. There are some stipulations on what kind of vehicle you can have, but it’s not too stringent in most areas.
When I was delivering with Amazon Flex often, I would make about $30/hour on average and as high as about $57/hour.
This is a nice side gig because you get to be in your car alone with no passengers, but still making pretty decent money.
I really enjoyed my time driving for Amazon Flex. 🙂
Donating Plasma
One of the most rewarding ways that you can make money this weekend is by donating plasma.
Yes, you have to get stuck with a needle, but it’s really not too bad.
And one of the coolest things about donating plasma is that you get to help others in need.
The other really cool thing about it is that you get paid when you leave the donation center.
I have literally donated plasma and then driven to a restaurant and immediately spent the money. Because I’m responsible like that…
Final Thoughts
If you find yourself in need of some extra cash, there is a way that you can get that money quickly in the economy that we live in today.
Sure, there are trade offs. You might have to have a certain type of car, be healthy, be willing to get a little dirty, etc. But you can make some extra money this weekend if you really put your mind to it.
You can do this!
I am here for you!
Until next time!
