How Can I Make Money (like $50) Fast? I Need Creative Ideas Please!

Fast is probably meaning around a week. And I can't drive or work yet. So I need like "Lemonade Stand" ideas, which would have been fine, except that it's winter and my yard is covered in 6 inches of snow. FAST!

    SWistar a good entrepreneur always senses the needs of other people and then
    works towards fulfilling those needs. Since people need the thing
    he or she is selling, they will definitely buy it and the entrepreneur
    reaps a nice pile of money as he sells it to them.
    I would
    suggest that you do a little research for yourself and see what people need that you are
    probable to come into contact.  Are they complaining about a
    missing facility? Do they need help in any way that you can offer?
    Since
    you say it is very cold nowadays, think about what people would like in
    this cold? May be they would not welcome lemonade in the chill but they
    might love a warm cup or two of fresh brewed coffee. Scope out areas where
    you can sell your product. Is there a local market where you can easily
    go? Then, pick out a place where you  lots of people come, like
    bookstores, parks or a super markets. You might also want to try bus
    stops. A lot of people waiting for the bus would gladly wrap their
    hands around a warm cup.
    Now, give your product a selling edge.
    Instead of just offering  coffee, try serving it with milk and something to eat like warm pastries or something you think will work. This will help you to establish a business for yourself.

    Besides
    coffee and pastries, you can look around the block. If it snows in your area, a lot
    of people might pay you for removing snow from their driveways and door
    steps. If there are any old people you know, ask them if you could get
    their groceries for them - with a commission, of course. May be
    somebody needs a babysitter for a week, or a shop needs somebody to
    help them set up their valentines gifts.
    Another thing that you
    can  do, thought do not get into this habit, is to sell some old stuff.
    Rummage through your belongings. Is there anything that you have kept
    around for long and you know you are never going to use? Sell it! But
    make sure that you or somebody else in the family has no use or
    emotional value for it.
    Good luck and do let me know what you did then! Bye.

      Now, give your product a selling edge. Instead of just offering black coffee, try whipping up some cappucino or even different flavored lattes. My personal favorite is vanilla tinted latte. When you heat milk, put in just a little vanilla (not a lot) and you have a yummy treat. Don't tell, its my secret recipe!
      Add some warm muffins to your load or a stack of doughnuts and you have established a running business for yourself!

        I would say to babysit, pet sit, watch peoples houses for them while they're on vacation, do chores around the house to get allowance, etc. Maybe sell bookmarks or jewelry??

        Here's a great plan to make decent, legit money online:

        You sign up at www.mylot.com .

        If you just want to make a little bit of spending money, then just sign up and post like normal. But if you want to make a nice chunk of cash
        then you have three choices:

        1. Work your *** off posting and make the money yourself.

        2. Invite a bunch of people and earn 25% of their earnings (so all you'd have to do is invite 4 people and you'd have 1 person's work without doing anything!) Imagine how much you could earn if you invited 100 online friends!

        3. You can do both and earn maximum income!

        Hope I Helped!
