Creative ideas to get like ~$500/month. What have you guys done? I'm not talking about your typical scribing / emt / phlebotomy sorts of gigs which would require you to commit x hours per week. Thanks!
[Serious] How would you make ~50-100 dollars on the side

in a pinch. that could perhaps be furthered into 500/month if one wants to continue. sorry for not being clear
Escort service? Or get your massage therapy certification.
It was clear, just a strange question. If you're comfortable with high school level material that sounds like something you could do tutoring chemistry/math/physics. Some people want just a couple hours especially before the semester, others turn into more long-term work. Or pawn your printer?
Tutoring, there will always be a market for tutoring
Tutoring, day labor, handyman work, amateur pornography, pawning and doing little favors for friends for petty cash, I guess.
I've not done any of the above, FYI.

Uber can be a good option, but careful with the insurance, you're exposing yourself to some serious un-covered liability. As someone with major future earning potential, you're an ideal target for a PI lawyer.
Take a look at labor-ready, etc. If you're decently handy, you can find stuff to do. Craigslist too. Lots of little odd jobs people need done.

I dabbled in selling sports apparel on ebay for awhile. For a period I could consistently make $25 per shirt but I would only sell like 10 a month so I usually hit $250 a month. Eventually I was shut down by ebay for being an unauthorized retailer in the brand I was almost exclusively dealing in, but not before I made about 2.5k

If you can do mechanical work, and know what to look for, fixing broken cars/motorcycles can be a good option, though you need some capital to work with.

What do you guys think about charging $10/hour on campus to help students with mock interviews ( for med school, research position, leadership positions). This could be a bad idea because it could turn out to be the blind leading the blind
I feel like you have to get in before you can charge for that. Or let the market decide.What do you guys think about charging $10/hour on campus to help students with mock interviews ( for med school, research position, leadership positions).

Task rabbit has alllll kinds of stuff, even jobs that don't require sacrificing bodily fluids.
EBAY!! Get rid of all that junk you have accumulated. Sold my old Gameboys from middle school with the games last year for $50!! People like all that "vintage" tech stuff.
The correct answers are obviously these
Now where did the translator go?
Oh, you could do volunteer research studies, if no one has mentioned that yet.
I earned like, 500 bucks and all the free nicotine patches I wanted through a stop smoking research program. I wasn't even obligated to stop smoking, they just wanted to see how effective the patches were.

Plasma/Platelets can be a good option. A high school friend does that for beer money in Washington. Basically they pay him to study and eat free snacks while having IV's. I swear the kid is actually a hobo, he looks more and more like it every year.

Ah, wait I forgot - I'm an avid weightlifter. Donating blood will seriously kill my gainz, don't know about platelets.
If you do both make sure you don't get the buildings confused, could end up in a legal tangle.
If you were Brad Pitt you could just find a sugar momma and be done with all this nonsense of scrounging for cash.
Once upon a time Brad Pitt was just a lowly waiter in Hollywood trying to catch a break. One night, he went home with a very beautiful woman. When they arrived at their house they did their thing.. until f'n Mike Tyson showed up. Yeah, Mike Tyson's ex-wife took Brad Pitt home.
Tyson didn't do anything to Pitt - he let him go.
If you did really well on the SAT/ACT, do private tutoring.
The better your resume, the higher you can charge people, who'll still hire you. I did between $50-100/hr, don't go work for a company they'll rip you off.

solid first post.get a bando
start trapping out of it
also, G4P. they offer $2,000 for a solo scene, $5,000 to bottom
Volunteer as a research subject. (Healthy or allergic to certain things etc). Many don't require you take any new drugs or anything, some want blood/bone marrow etc. I tend to make $25-$1500/study, depending on what they need. Has really helped pay for rent
If you're comfortable naked and enjoy weirdos, posing for artists is fun.
What kind of studies do you participate in? Im living near the NIH and would love to make some money doing this. But most I found require a yearly commitment for 12 years.....Volunteer as a research subject. (Healthy or allergic to certain things etc).

Find the research study department at your nearest university. I once participated in a study that paid $50-$500 per session over 2 years
