Personal finance experts have revealed that hard-up Americans could earn an additional $30 per session by donating blood plasma, while also performing a good deed. Blood plasma is required to make medications for people with blood clotting issues, and Americans can safely donate several times a month. The personal finance blog, Wealth of Geeks, has included this unusual income idea in a guide of 41 ways to make quick money for those who are experiencing financial difficulties.
Michael Dinich, the personal finance expert and founder of Wealth of Geeks, said that many people believe that the only way to make extra money is online. However, the guide lists many ways to generate additional income without the need for a phone or computer. Dinich suggests that donating blood plasma is an unusual way to make money while doing a good deed.
The Wealth of Geeks guide also includes offline income-generating activities, such as washing cars, selling items from home, pet care, starting a dog-walking company, or providing support to an established dog-walking company. The Rover app is also recommended as a means of securing dog-walking or pet-sitting gigs.
The guide points out that many people require assistance around the home or office with tasks such as furniture assembly, garage or garden clearing, shopping, appointments, or lawn mowing, and that there is an endless list of possibilities.
Michael added that there are many individuals who need this type of assistance, and people should get their name out there and begin working. He also stated that the guide has something for everyone, ranging from completing online surveys to driving for Uber or even flipping cars.
The Wealth of Geeks blog aims to make personal finance enjoyable and provides advice and tips on potential side hustles, money management, as well as fun aspects of travel, food, and favourite TV programmes and movies.
