      Many people can get very decent money "just" for writing here in hubpages.

        Don't get me wrong I love writing on Hubpages.  But I need a little more than a few cents a month.  I have patience and expect my earning to go up in time, but I'm needing a little extra cash now.  Unfortunately I'm having some writer's block.

        no problem! Tons of opportunity. Seems some places are hiring for 2-3 blogs a week and you can get a steady income for it. Lots of stuff out there!

      No online work pays quickly or all that well in a short amount of time when compared to an actual job.  For fast cash,  I recommend temp work with an agency in the town or city where you live.

      This is a pretty good place to start looking.This list has 50 leads. I've gotten a little work from some of these.

      Relache is right, as usual, though. Temping can bring fast cash. Maybe not a lot, but there are day labor places that pay at the end of every shift.

      I have ideas that can and have worked, but they all involve heaps of learning time and some money to get started. I can't think of anything that is fast and cheap online that brings quick returns.

      I wish you well with your search.
      A female friend of mine does have a great online job for a big international, but it is technical and I do not know how much you would know about her job. She "cleans" databases of trick words, porn, funny names, spam etc using queries in a spreadsheet to filter them out.
      She works wherever she likes, in bars, down the beach and is very well paid only working 6 months in any year, She does overload work for them as well at a higher pay rate.

      There must be jobs like hers out there at least. I would look towards things you love to do as a means of maintaining long term motivation. Good luck!

        That's the kind of job I would like to find.  I know my calling is out there I'm just not close enough to hear it.

          fluffymetal (I love the name.) smile the problem is finding the job. Something I know little about, but others here will have ideas. I agree with what relache said. For NOW income local temp work sounds a lot quicker. smile

      How about teaching English online?
      You can sell your your skills & time online to language learners across the globe.

        I really like that idea.  How does that work?

          Just do some research online. You will find a lot of offers.
          You just need Skype and PayPal account.
          I personally know a lot of Russians who would love to improve their spoken English with a native English speaker.

              Me too! I speak english like a second language. No, wait.. nevermind.

              My problem is I live in BF Egypt. The only temp work offered anywhere around here has something to do with chickens. Don't know what, don't wanna know either.

              Don't know if you saw my post at the bottom, but I just remembered another company my wife tutored for. TalkBean. It is a Korean based English tutoring company you may get hired or you can do it independently I believe.
