You want a little money. You need just a bit more cash in hand, just to make a little difference. Enough for a cheeky takeaway or an evening out, and you don’t know where to turn! In truth, you feel a bit stuck, therefore I am sharing a few ways that you could make some extra pounds in an afternoon.
Side hustling is where it is at, so many people are hustling on the side to make their money go further. If you have a spare few hours a week there are some smart ways that you can fill that time that can also provide the money for some of lifes extras. Over the years I have had some really cool side hustles that helped provide for my family, especially when the kids were young and I had very little spare cash.
Making some extra cash on the side, because you’re waiting for a paycheck that’s a couple of days away, doesn’t have to take a long time. It’s something you might just be able to do in an afternoon; if you’re interested, here’s a couple of the most likely ways to do so.
What can you sell?
My first thing to do when I am wanting to make some money fast is to see what I can sell either on Facebook marketplace, Ebay or local selling sites. I often sell clothes I no longer want, toys that Erin has outgrown of things we just don’t use anymore.
Online Opportunities
There are so many ways to make money online these days. First up have you registered for the FREE daily lottery Goyipee

Online surveys are another way to make some money – check out my post for more details.
Where are your skills at?
If you are handy with a sewing machine then offer to make alterations and advertise yourself, if you like walking advertise locally for dog walking, if you are handy maybe offer small DIY jobs. There are plenty of tasks that people need help with.
Your neighbourhood might just be a prime source of fast money. You’re going to have to put a bit of work in, but you’ll definitely be able to reap the rewards of doing so. So step outside and take a look around; what do you see?
A neighbour with a lawn that’s complete overgrown? Someone just down the street with a really dirty car? Someone arguing with a loved one over how to put a shelving unit together? And the list of possibilities doesn’t end there. Just make your way over and offer your services! Use a cheap rate, and make your proposition friendly.
You’re all a part of the neighbourhood, and they’re likely to spread the word to other people on the street about the good work you’re able to do.
Ask a Friend
Your friends and family are a good first step if you’re looking to make some extra cash by the end of the day. After all, these are the people who love you and don’t want to see you struggle. So if you really need just a bit more money in your pocket for the time being, don’t feel guilty about asking. Take this paragraph as your permission to do so, if need be!
Making some extra cash, even in just the space of an afternoon, isn’t an impossible feat. Keep your head up and stay confident, and pass the good will it creates on to others. You’re won’t be out of money for long, but it’ll be useful to get some money making practice in!
These ideas should help you make some money in an afternoon or two!
