5 Ways To Make A Ton Of Money Over The Summer

Do you love online shopping or going out to eat? Are you broke right now but don’t want a full time job? Well I totally understand, full time jobs are a pain. What’s worse than spending your summer under some stuck up manger who gives you terrible hours. Money is essentially freedom in this world so here is some ways you can make some extra cash to spend on whatever you want. Also if your a freshman or sophomore you don’t have to be 16 or have a work permit for a lot of these ways to make money.

Sell Old Clothing

 Is your closet stuffed with clothing you never wear but are to lazy to donate? Here is a way to get rid of clothes you don’t want and make money well doing so. First sort through everything in your closet, obviously throw away or donate items that are stained/ripped. Next take pictures of each piece of clothing, you can post it to Instagram or a online selling app. Estimate how much the item is, like how much did you buy it for? And how used is it? The cheaper the easier it will be to sell. Finally your friends or family might want to buy it from you!

Run Errands For Old People

 Do you have any elderly neighbors or grandparents? Running errands for people is a great way to make tip money. If they just give you a list of things they need you can go sit in traffic and wait in lines for them but at the end you get paid. Also you can offer services like cleaning their house mowing their lawn or things they can’t do themselves. Plus they might tip you at the end.

Sell Your Hair

 Ok this is kinda crazy but hear me out. Do you have long hair your just tired of dealing with? Thinking about changing your look up for the next year? Selling your hair might be a solution that you should think about. The price depends on hair color, weight, length and if you’ve ever died it or bleached it. A rough estimate is 10 inches starts for a round $160. You just take pictures of your hair, post it online, find a buyer (watch out for scammers,) cut your hair in a ponytail and send it out in the mail. Super easy money!

Fresh Fruit Stand

  Do you have any fruit trees in your backyard. If so why not make some money off of fruit that would be just rotting on the ground. The first step is to make a stand in front of your house or on your street. You can decide how fancy you want it to be, just a plastic table is fine but if you want to have some fun with it you can build a wooden structure then paint it a eye popping color to attract customers. Place your fruit on the table with the cost and make a money collector box people can drop their bills in. Then by the end of the day collect your profit and re-stock the stand.

House Sit

Lots of people leave for vacation during the summer, they may need someone to watch their dog, water house plants, pick up their mail and just over all check on the house. If your old enough you could even offer to stay the nights. This is a easy way to make cash and help your neighbors out. If you don’t know the family that well I would suggest a letter of recommendation to prove your trustworthy and not throw a raging party. Obviously be respectful because this is someone's home but other then that is this a pretty simple and easy job.

Well I hope these ideas gave you some inspiration to hit this summer running and make a ton of money. Don’t waste your summer playing hours and hours of video games because you’ll look back and wonder where did all that time go, with nothing to show for it. This experience may also open your eyes to being a entrepreneur in the future. Good luck!
