1. The Free and For Sale page

One person’s trash – in this case your old clothes, accessories, and decorations – is another person’s treasure! Sell some old belongings that never get used to make some quick and easy money from the comfort of your own room.

2. Participate in Psychology studies

Many psychology studies are offered on campus all the time, and for as little as fifteen minutes of your time you can be putting a few extra dollars in your pocket!

3. Street Performing

Got a talent? Put it to use on the streets of Downtown Santa Barbara! Tons of people walk around State Street every day, and you’re bound to get a couple of dollars by the end of the day – and for doing something you love!

Happy money-making, my lovelies!
