MY CRAZY WORLD

Become a reality TV star: Think the hacks on reality TV have absolutely no talent? Think you also have no talent? Why not join them? You have done Communication right?
Resell Items : There are plenty of people who buy and resell items on Rupu.co.ke and eBay, few have turned it into a true business
Refer to friends : You can borrow or ask for help from friends.. though Cyril chose to write this to help by writing this
Design Logos: If you have some design skill and are handy with the Photoshop, consider designing logos for folks. My buddy Vic aka cheekszone jpeg (@cheekszonejpeg), has been doing big with it.
Join a Focus Group: I joined a focus group several years ago and have been invited to participate about once a year, only went once. It’s not a bad gig, a few thousand shillings to spend a couple hours in a room with strangers, but it’s very infrequent. Getting the call is like finding a gift… if you don’t mind a few hours in a room with strangers.
Sell Bottled Water @ Concerts, Games, etc: I did an experiment several years ago where I sold alot. I revisted it later on and despite losing money, I think it’s still possible to generate a profit, especially if you don’t have to split the proceeds with your employee.
Babysit: It’s not just for teenagers anymore, it’s possible for anyone to make a little extra money if you’re willing to jump through just a few hoops.
Start a cashwash: Right infront of the house. Greenfields has potential customers
Rent out a spare room: With sites like Airbnb.com, anyone can take a few photos of their spare room and rent it out to visitors. How much you are able to charge will depend on which amenities you offer but anyone can earn a few bucks renting out that spare room easily. You can list for free and only pay 3% to Airbnb when the reservation is completed.
Search for silver coins in your pocket change: return them to Central Bank to be given cash
Become a mystery shopper: Plenty of companies hire mystery shoppers to go through the shopping experience and provide feedback. Most of those companies will, in turn, hire mystery shopping people that handle the coordination and reporting. It’s not lucrative but it does pay a few bucks every so often and a great way to earn some pocket money.
Sell advertising on your car: If you do a lot of driving, you could always offer up your vehicle to get “wrapped.” If you’ve ever seen cars wrapped in ads, that’s a car wrap and the driver is getting paid to drive around and spread “buzz” about that company. I don’t know much about it but my friend Jim has researched the subject and shares his thoughts
Donate plasma: You can earn money donating plasma, which can be a long and painful process. Do a google search of donation centers near you and find out how much they’ll pay.
Look for your own Missing Money: There are billions of dollars “missing” and you can find out if any of it is yours at MissingMoney.com. You might have to jump through some hoops to get to it but it’s new money to you!
Sell your gift cards: Since it’s pretty close after the holidays, chances are you still have a few gift cards left over that you haven’t used. If you haven’t spent them down to the last dollar or two, consider selling them on a gift card site to turn them into cash.
Set up a vending machine: In my neighborhood, there is a family that bought a used soda vending machine on discount. They plug it in, keep it stocked, and the neighborhood kids are happy to plunk 50 shillings in it for a cooling drink on a hot day. While there are overhead costs, you can still make a decent profit if you buy your soda in bulk and keep the machine stocked.
Sell your hair on eBay: Did you know that doll makers like real hair? If you have healthy locks, you can cut them off and sell your hair to wigmakers, doll makers, and others. You can even do it on eBay.
Sign up for clinical trials: A number of companies are looking for people to participate in clinical trials. They’ll even pay you!
Pet sitting: Offer to watch others’ pets. Take care of their various animals while they’re away. You don’t even have to do it while others are gone. Some people hire others to come play with and walk their pets during the day while they’re at work.
Run errands: Busy people need their dry cleaning picked up, and their grocery shopping done. Why not provide these services? You can take care of your own errands at the same time, and get paid for running someone else’s. Bonus.
Recycle scrap metal: If you are having trouble figuring out what to do with that useless car, old caper, or a pile of old nuts and bolts, you can take it to a salvage yard. You’ll be paid by the pound. And, by the way, some places will still pay you for aluminum cans. So you can scrounge around for those as well.
Sperm and egg donation: You can be paid for your reproductive abilities. Sperm banks will pay you for donations, and there are a number of people willing to pay for “high quality” eggs (a process that is a little more invasive and difficult than sperm donation).
Re-sell tickets to events: If you are a season ticket holder, and know you want attend all the games, you can re-sell your tickets and earn a little cash. You can also buy tickets to events that are likely to sell out, and then sell them for a profit later. Some hopeful souls are even trying to scalp tickets to opening IMAX showings of The Dark Knight Rises for 10000 shillings.
Treasure hunting: Look for items of value that others throw away for re-sell. You can also use a metal detector to help you find old coins and other valuables that might be worth something for you to sell.
Bone marrow donation: If you don’t mind being laid up for a few days, and you can handle what can be a painful procedure, you can make 40000 shillings or more by providing bone marrow.
Camp at Crater : If you have a little time, and can afford the gas,
Sell your photos online: You can join stock photo sites like istockphoto.com and earn money when others use your work. A great way to make money from your photography hobby.

Develop mobile apps: If you have a talent for programming, you can earn money by developing mobile apps.
Virtual assisting: You can be a virtual assistant, performing tasks for others, including scheduling and phone tasks, as well as performing other tasks, such as social media engagement or answering emails.
Pick up loose change: Look for loose change, wherever you go, and pick it up. You can even boost the chances that you find it by taking a yardstick and sweeping it under washing machines and dryers at the laundromat. You can probably find change under seats on public transit, and in other hard to reach places.
YouData: Without providing identifying information, you can earn money, a little at a time, by looking at ads via YouData.
Provide computer “tech support”: If you know a little bit about computers, you can charge to help others back up their systems, install new software, and perform other tasks related to technology.
Be a freelance teacher: Teach community education classes or seminars in areas of expertise. If you have the right qualifications, you can even hire out as an adjunct professor.
