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

OK...I want to get my credit cards paid off. Fast. If you had to make $1000 in two weeks, how would you do it? It is possible? Would it take longer, say maybe a month? This would be in addition to your regular income.

I guess I would sell something. Or get a second job. (I don't have a job at all)

I agree with Ima saver. If it had to be done in two weeks, I would sell something. What's the going rate for a cranky 6 year old boy with a bad attitude? Hmmm...we might be onto something here!

I agree with a garage sale. I'm doing that as we speak.

Currently, I make more with overtime than I will with a second job. However, when that condition changes, I'll gladly pick up a second job.

Just finished a garage sale with over $1100 in sales (they weren't all mine though). I guess that means it can be done, but it would probably be easier with a few pricier items on ebay if you have them.

Garage sale is good if you have stuff in your garage. You have to make 500 dollars a week for two weeks. There is temp work. You could sell some personal posessions.

It might be a tad easier if we knew your skill set.

sell a kidney

just kidding...Find one of those daily work, daily pay jobs...night shift..you could make that (depending on how many hours you work)

I'd check my local Craigs list for the wanted items.........to see if I had anything someone was looking for. Easier & no cost .......compared to the garage sale.
I would also check the temp. help wanted posts.........to see if there was something I could fill.

And, I'd advertise my skills and my time frame, to see if someone needed what I could do.

Ima saver--Does your slot machine work? I would love to buy one for Dh! If you're ever on your way to Canada, bring it on up...I imagine that the shipping costs would be HUGE!

I'd have to instal a red light outside the door.

Id put an ad in the paper for firewood and pray someone was still chilly ...if that didn't work, Id do a preseason sale and have to sell more to make the extra up....

Other ways I could do it:
babysit (alot)
donate plasma
recycle every can/bottle I could find
get a part time job
sale something

Figure out how I got in this predicament and get a game plan going so it wouldn't happen again....

But I could also tap into the Freedom Account and come up with a good portion of it.

all of the replies were great... i might add my two cents... i would free lance, like marketing jobs, where i would do product demos, find treasures at the curb prior to trash day and post on the local bulletin board... i would rent out a room to a college student or retired person.. i would pet sit.. i would look for an office cleaning job... hth
