Myself, like many Americans, are unemployed. But, we still need to eat and pay the bills. That's the time to be creative and resourceful in thinking of ways to hustle (legally), and make some cash. Any ideas ??

You could recycle your cans and get money from that, have a yard sale, mow someones lawn or do other lawn work, clean someones pool, play the lottery (but your chances of winning are slim), get a job, clean someones house, or babysit.

You can actually make good money selling scrap metal. My boyfriend's brother does it on the side for "fun" but it can be a lot of hard work. Good money though. Also, using any skills or talents that you may have is a great way to cash in. Offer up your (legal) services to neighbors or your town, such as handyman work (plumbing, electrical, construction), landscaping, gardening, etc. Great for elderly neighbors who can use a hand around the house and have some extra cash. Start a small business in anything that may interest you. If you have a hobby that you enjoy, perhaps you can make money with it somehow. For example, I like to scrapbook and make cards so I could make things with my spare time and then sell them. Or do consulting work or teach your hobby (like a class). Last but not least, if there is absolutely nothing that you can think of to do for cash, or the market for self-employment is not there, you can always get a part-time job at a local store or restaurant. Even though those jobs suck, you can make money while looking for jobs since you'll only work part-time.

sign up at temp agencies if the type of work you are qualified for is offered (mostly office type or accounting jobs, but other fields exist also) many businesses only hire after trying someone out as a temp first sell stuff on ebay you don't need or use anymore

Have you collected unemployment? I'm sure you can get a job if you work hard to find another one. I don't wanna think you're lazy and want to find a easy way to get cash without any efforts.

play the lottery, or win a lawsuit. anything else would be considered working. even slangin'. if you have investments that will earn you money but you have to work first in order to find the good ones.

Sell your blood. It doesn't pay much, but it's gas money while you're looking for your next job.

Some fertility clinics will pay you for your sperm. You get to watch free porn, do the five-knuckle shuffle and get paid for it too.
