Selling stuff would be the quickest/easiest way - especially if you're still working a normal job.

Default Re: If you had to earn $1000 in two weeks how would you do it?

i have just recently lost my job, i found this website and tried it (figured it was only $10.00, i NEVER do these things.) well it has only been a week but i am up almost 400.00 give it a try whats 10.00.

This is an amazing thing. THIS REALLY WORKS!!! And it's legitimate, it's honest, it's legal, it actually works and you will definitely - DEFINITELY - make great extra money with this! Oprah Winfrey loved talking about it on her recent show, mostly because it can help regular everyday folks like you and I make GREAT extra cash! You won't be disappointed. I've already made enough to pay literally all my bills in the last couple of days, and all it cost me was ten dollars, which I made back immediately, and then I started receiving so many gifts of cash!!!!!
Make Money With Pay-pal!! Seen on Oprah!! Very Legit!

Here is what you need to do:

1. If you’re not already a PayPal user, sign up at www.paypal.com (it doesn’t cost anything and it is very easy)….make sure you sign up for a Premier or Business account (again, both are free). If you have a personal account already set up, just upgrade to Premier or Business so you may receive credit card payments.

2. IMMEDIATELY send a $10 payment (That's it! Only ten bucks!!) to the email address in position 1 or 2 below (depending on your birthday to help sort things out), along with a note in the subject line saying "Here is a $10 gift for you!" Please remember to add the note about GIFT because it keeps this program legal. (PayPal knows about this, the government does too!…Even The Wall Street Journal reviewed it!).

a. JAN 1-JUNE 30 BIRTHDAY – cowgirl4always@msn.com
b. JULY 1-DEC 31 BIRTHDAY – HelpOthersTD@hotmail.com

3. Now remove whichever email address you just sent $10 to and replace it with YOUR email address that’s registered with PayPal for future postings. VERY IMPORTANT: Use the same EMAIL ADDRESS that is registered with YOUR Paypal account or you won’t receive your $$.

4. Copy and post this letter in at least 50 message boards, chat rooms, or newsgroups, online interactive sites, etc etc. You don't need to post to 200 groups (but you certainly can if you want to, since the more you post the more you make!!). This really works and is legitimate!! Just post it where at least 50 people will see it. Do it as many times as you can.

Now the fun happens! Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars!! Seriously, it’s common sense….you do it and 25 or more people see and do the same thing… so on and so forth…everyone wins!

TRUE STORY --> June Alscar tells how she ran this gifting program four times last year. The first time, she received $6,000+ in cash in two weeks and then $14,000+ in cash the next three times. When this program is continued, as it should be, EVERYONE PROFITS!!

And the BEST part is that whenever you need extra cash, just start the program again.

YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME! THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. This is excellent easy, fast money to start or expand a business, buy your dream home, car and pay off whatever bills you may have.
Good luck and try it now! It works -it really works!!!!!!!!!

Default Re: If you had to earn $1000 in two weeks how would you do it?

I have been selling bags that I make, but I would not be able to make and sell $1000 worth in 2 weeks, while working 40 hours a week at the same time. At the end of November I sold about $670 worth of bags, then sold maybe about $100 worth each month from January through March. At the end of April I sold $490 worth of bags. And this past week I just brought $460 worth of bags to be sold in a shop a couple towns over. I've got names of two more shops where it has been suggested I bring my bags, I just need to make more before I can do that!

In the past couple weeks I've taken some short shifts at work on my day off for overtime. (Time and a half is a nice bonus on the paycheck!) I just can't do this too much or I start to feel burnt out.

So, I don't think I could make $1000 in only 2 weeks. but I could try my best by working over time, making & selling more bags (the making part is easy, selling takes a little more work), and selling some stuff on Ebay.

Quickest way to earn an extra $1000 in 2 weeks?

You would have to try a combination of things. But you'd have to be willing to work very hard at it.


1. Yard sales - and not just on Saturdays (try Fridays and the rest of the week too!)

2. Sell your stuff on Ebay and Amazon.com.

3. Moonlight with a high-paying part-time job. Scour the classifieds.

4. Take out an ad in the classifieds and offer your computer skills to others willing to pay for it.

5. Pet sit for a pet sitting agency.

6. Walk dogs. Wash cars. Flip burgers. Wait tables. Deliver pizzas!

7. Take frugal to the extreme! A penny saved is a penny earned.

8. Pray!

You can get some part time job at night if you work during the day, but as far as I know those jobs pay much less an hour than the same full time jobs. Yea, I work nights only, but I save by not having to have childcare.

Other ways to get the money just depend on you luck. You might find some, or sell some items that you gor free-after rebate. I sold some razors (free samples, don't like that kind), and haircolor (don't use it) on ebay.

The other way is to change your W4 form so they would take less taxes. (take some interest-free loan from govmt)

I don't think I paid more than $1000 for all my kids clothes including those they are wearing now and those that are still big for them. But I don't want to sell them in case I have more kids.

I'd moonlight to different firms and offer to draft docs as an independant contractor. Wills and trusts would be enough, especially in a paper-pushing firm that does high volume and won't pay for full time employees. I've thought of doing this to help fund my CJ's 529 and mad money fund.

You could mow 40 lawns. Paint address numbers on curbs.

Well, I could always sell one of my cars! I wonder what someone would pay for Sherman's signature?(the guy that burned Atlanta) I would probably just take it out of the bank.

Sell stuff like crazy. I admit, we're aiming to get outta debt. But we weren't so terribly bad off that we sold near everything. I've got a few things on hand that I could sell for $1000 if I needed it in two weeks, no problem. (Dh and I could share one vehicle, one of his toys could be sold, a tanning bed, a welder, some tools, etc.) I just feel like this all is extra insurance should something terrible happen. Nothing has yet, we're still able to hit about $1800 a month to debt, so feel like we're doing good enough to not sell everything but the kitchen sink.

Yep, sell stuff, get more stuff from garage sales, curbs and sell it too. I like the mowing yards idea. That is just gas and time and if you are good and have a good mower, you could make a lot in a weekend!!

ok..honestly..i could sell my old pickup truck. it only has 78000 miles on it..but i hate to drive it..i could sell a bunch of my extra things thta i dont use anymore....if i was desperate to make the money...id sell my horses and my kareoke things...(this would be only if i couldnt get the cash anyother way and it was a matter of life or death). i have a dimond ring thats not too important to me..and cds and dvds..theres alot i could sell to make money.

i dotn think i could do any job where i could earn that much in a couple weeks. but i have alot of extra stuff to sell. thats my only idea.

I agree with ebaying whatever you can (that you can part with).

Or maybe...you can find some people who work alot and offer to clean their houses/apartments (specific areas like kitchen/bath/dens only) for $40-$50/per visit (depending on your area's market). I know my sister would upfront someone $1000 if he/she would clean her place once a week for however long they agree to it. I'd put it in writing though - look at it as a loan but payments are made in labor . 2 hours (or however long it takes you to clean) per week for 20-25 weeks is doable in my opinion.

Of course, I would bring my own cleaning supplies, but use their vacuum cleaner. You can make cleaning supplies for next to nothing!

Just a thought!
