Over the last few weeks I have gotten a lot of questions about making extra money to either help survive or to buy equipment for their music career.
One of the ways I started my business was selling my blood plasma to buy things. I made about $1,100 in my first month. Another great benifit is you LITERALLY are saving lives.
Who it saves:
People with Primary Immuno-deficiencies
Plasma theropy to help chronic diseases.
People with Hemophilia (bleeding disorder)
In emergencies, it can be used to for people experiencing shock, trauma and serious burns.
How long does it take?
It's super easy. takes 2-3 hours your first visit, and about 1 hour every time after that. You can donate up to twice a week as long as you don't donate for two consecutive days. At most locations you can just walk in with no appointment.
Why donate to the Red Cross for free when they sell your plasma and at least you get something back for it...
How would an extra $100 in your pocket every week change your life?
How could you leverage a few hundred extra dollars every month to put a little bit more BLOOD sweat and tears into your music career?
It's super easy. Just pump your arm and watch Netflix like what I did.
I go to CSL Plasma, there are over 300 locations in the United States. They are in every major city!

I’ve been selling things online for a long time. I found that Mercari is a great way to make money, in fact, when you sell your first item, you save $20 after you earn your first $100 after you use my affiliate code.
It is possible to make money today just by donating your plasma. I understand there may be things that get in the way from that such as if you take certain medicines or if you are hyperglycemic.
So for this part of the blog, I’ll explain step by step how to make money from home by flipping items.
So let us start here. Find items around your home that you don't use anymore. For example, I sold my old Snapchat Spectacles and a GoPro and so I could start with a few hundred dollars. Then once I had that bit of money, I started to find things on OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, a garage sale, or a thrift store.
Here is some very helpful advice. Meet up and buy locally, sell online using an app like Mercari. You will get more qualified eyeballs selling on Mercari from people searching for those items than you would if you try to sell a camera or a specific video game.
This method is better than selling it locally on Offerup or Facebook Marketplace around your city. Does this make sense? It will save you the headache from driving all around town as well!
You can even open up the Amazon App, go to “search”, tap on the barcode and scan everything in Walmart and possibly find items you can sell on eBay to make a profit. I found that this method is much harder to find items in Walmart. They are normally really good at pricing items and you will still have to take shipping to account, mercari wants their fee, and you’ll most likely be left with chump change.
Do NOT sell new items at the new item price and think you will make a profit. For example, You will have your Nintendo Switch listed on Mercari for a LONG TIME if you sell an open boxed item for the same price you will find at Walmart. What do people use these second hand apps for? To get a great deal.
How to Stand Out On These Apps
This is the most important part of selling items on apps like Mercari. Don’t just look at what people are selling these items for and copy their price. Go look at the prices on Mercari or eBay under “SOLD” and average out the price. Use your common sense when it comes to missing cables for an Xbox 360 or a controller with some scratches.
Take pictures of these items, front, back, side. If you find free furniture on craigslist such as a table or a cabinet, list the dimensions with a tape measure or you will get tons of questions about the size.
Mark it down by $1 the average price others are selling it for to sell it faster.
Make them pay for shipping.
Know your fees BEFORE you buy the item. Here is a sneaky little trick. You can look at Offerup for items in your area. Look at their price and try to haggle them down. Look at what it is selling on Mercari before you go out and buy the item that way you know it is a guaranteed profit. The great thing about Mercari is, they will tell you the total of how much you will make before you list it up for sale.
Rinse and repeat with a more expensive item.
Please note that the more funding you take out, the slower your money will compound and grow. Shoot for putting some more money away for taxes. Think about what percentage you can take away from your honeypot and still continue to grow your side hustle.
Don’t have a printer or ink for shipping labels? I used to go to the library and print off my pages for 10 cents! I used old Amazon boxes and new boxes I bought from Walmart.
That Is All It Takes To Make Easy Money
You won't be a millionair overnight but if you actually put in the work, you can actually make some really easy cash, really quick if you know what you are doing.
Almost anyone can sell their plasma to make some extra money every month. You can make easy money listing things on Mercari as a side income. Please do not over estimate the value of garage sales. Flipping mugs from $0.25 to $25 easily. That is a great ROI.
