20 Ways to Sell Your Body for Money

October 2, 2015 by Will Lipovsky

If you are looking for ways to make some extra money there may be one source of income that you haven’t considered – your body. It is illegal to sell organs, but there are ways to make money selling your body. Here are 20 ways to sell your body for extra money:

Advertising

Turn your body into a billboard. Advertising agencies pay for people to place advertising on their body. The ads are either permanent or temporary tattoos.

Blood and Plasma

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies pay for blood and plasma donations. You will not be paid for donating at a blood drive by the Red Cross or a hospital because blood collected from paid donors cannot be used by hospitals for transfusions.

Bone Marrow (Stem Cell)

Stem cell donors in some states can be compensated for their donation. This is a little more invasive and there is a 8 week recovery period after donating stem cells.

Breast Milk

Not every new mother is able to produce enough breast milk for their child. If you have extra breast milk, you can sell it to an online broker.

Clinical Drug Trials

Drug companies, medical facilities and the federal government compensate healthy participants and participants suffering from a specific condition for testing new drugs. There may be side effects from the drugs.

Eggs

Fertility clinics compensate egg donors that are successfully matched with a client. Donors should be healthy 21-34 years old. The process involves several doctor appointments, injecting hormones and a medical procedure to retrieve the eggs.

Escort

Escorts are paid companions. If you are attractive and have great social skills you may find that you being an escort will not only be a source of income but also an opportunity to get paid to date.

Feces

Yes, there is a company that will purchase your poop for a medical treatment. You could potentially earn over $1,000 per month selling poop.

Hair

Wig makers want virgin hair. Virgin hair is hair that has not been permed or color treated. The value is based on the color, thickness and length of your hair. There are several websites that act as hair brokers.

Hand Model

Hand models are used for photos that only include the human hand. You must have perfectly manicured nails and hands free of scars or veins to be a successful hand model.

Life Model

Art schools pay for nude models. A life model stands nude in front of an art class while the students draw the human body.

Placenta

Human placenta is cooked by a professional placenta preparer, encapsulated and sold as supplements. Selling human placenta may not be legal.

Platelets

Donating platelets is more difficult than donating blood and not for those squeamish about needles, but donors are compensated more for platelet donations than blood donations.

Pornography

Pornography is not for everyone, but it is a legal way to sell your body.

Prostitution

You can sell your body through prostitution, but it is only legal in some Nevada counties.

Psychological Study

A psychological study is a non-invasive study of your mind and how it works. Research universities usually have paid psychological studies available.

Sperm

Men aged 18-39 can be compensated for donating sperm. Sperm donation requires multiple donations with a frequency of at least once per week.

Surrogate

Surrogate mothers carry an embryo for another woman. This requires a long-term commitment that will affect your health and lifestyle.

Testicle

There are conflicting reports about the legality of selling a testicle, but one man claims to have sold one of his testicles for $35,000.

Used Panties

There is demand used women’s panties. They can be sold through a broker, craigslist, eBay or your own website.
