FusionCash is a great supplement along with others.

I have a web site with some other online earning ideas. Sites similar to Fusion Cash like others have mentioned - but these are mostly small peanut earnings (none as profitable as Fusion Cash) and only accumulate over time. 


Be careful with Uber as that can affect your vehicle's warranty and possibly void it altogether.  It's fine if you never have any issues, but if you have a $400+ car payment and something goes wrong and then voids the warranty because you were driving for Uber - then the money you made from Uber is no longer so enticing!

Even worse, someone could stick a gun in your face. NO THANKS!
Even delivering stuff, I had a good friend that delivered Pizza until he delivered to a party with a bunch of drunks and got shoved around for their fun.

Sell the car (if you can get enough to pay off the loan) and get a "beater" for cash... no car payment!

Why would you do that? Get some piece of crap that is not reliable and you have to spend money fixing stuff all the time.

Giving plasma twice a week can give you a few hundred dollars per month.depending on your weight. Visiting five to ten sites like, but not as good as, fusion cash can put a few hundred dollars in your pocket. I have read a few dozen articles and Uber eats/Uber driving/Lyft seems to be working for quite few people. Some people donate semen for a few hundred dollars a month (you said anything). Being a non-sexual escort/companion helps clients out when they don't want to have a relationship but must show up to events with a 'date' and is supposed to pay well. Recycling scrap metal can be worth a  hundred dollars or so. Task rabbit pairs you up with people looking to have things done around their house. Rover pays people to walk dogs. Or some people fall back on working forty hours  a week.

I have never known anybody that for real made "a few hundred" dollars on these sites per month.

If you had read his post you would see he needs something to "SUPPLEMENT HIS INCOME" so obviously he has a job.  Depending on the area you live in jobs are not always that easy to come by. Where I live there aren't a lot of jobs and the jobs that are available are part time and pay around $8 an hour. There is no way to make a house payment on that little of pay. And before you say it rent is $200 or more than most mortgage payments.

You could be a dog sitter for people going out of town.  There's a real need for that.  Also, there's driving for transportation services like Uber on your own time, whenever you are available.  I just heard of a service with Uber that delivers food/groceries? to people who have ordered online.  I don't know anything about it, but if it appeals to you, you could do some research.

I think that is only available in certain areas. I did see something about that the other night though.

Get rid of the $400 car payment.  Heck it sounds like you are living on credit so get rid of the house too and start living how your paycheck reflects.  IMO - I lived off credit and regret having run my first 20 years of adult life that way.  Boy if I'd only known then what I know now.  Living house poor is no way to live.  Not for this girl anyway.

You are seriously suggesting someone to sell their house and their car because they are struggling to make ends meet? You have to have somewhere to live. Rent is as much or more than a house payment. And you need transportation that is reliable to get to work. And not every where has public transportation. There is NONE where I live.

He isn't living off credit. Most people do not pay cash for a new car nor do they pay cash for a house. Having a car payment and a house payment is not living off credit. And I don't bash people who have to buy groceries on credit cards. Some people are doing the best they can and until you have lived their life, which you can't, then you cannot understand.

How would they know you were driving for Uber? If I have an issue with my car and take it in for repairs I am not going to tell them where I was headed or who was in the car when it tore up.

I tried getting another tenant but he turned out to be a heroin addict. LOL. Leaving well enough alone for now.

Yeah, I do not trust random people. No way I would allow anyone to move in to my home with me. Esp someone I did not know really well.

Anyone have any tips on how I can supplement my income? I'm willing to do just about anything because my employer barely pays me minimum wage (and I'm a college graduate).

What I currently do:

1.) Phone sex (I told you I'd do anything)

2. Fusion Cash

3. Selling sodas to coworkers at a slight mark-up

4. Grocery store couponing apps

5. One tenant who lives in my basement

Any other ideas? I have a $1600/month mortgage and $400/month car payment. I'm gonna be broke for awhile. Lol

I am assuming you have cut out the extras like Cable? Eating out? Eating cheaper? I would also look at ways to save money as well as ways to make extra.

You could be an Uber driver, since you pick your own time.

They probably meant InboxDollars.   I use that site too.  Getting hard to get anything on there anymore though.

LMAO Brian!! I was so about to do number 1 also and number 3 can get you into trouble depending on the state you live in if you don't have a vendors license. But I am so with you on supplementing our income on a whole new level. The economy is crap! But I love your attitude and spunk! lol

Well, I suppose in order for it to get out someone would have to ask and you could choose to lie about it. But sometimes that sort of information just comes out in casual conversation.  I'm just tossing out the warning as a tip because it happened to someone that I know quite well.


I don't know the specifics of how the conversation went, but this happened to my brother in law when the engine in his relatively new car suffered a breakdown that would have normally been covered under warranty, but was voided because he had used the car to drive for Uber. They couldn't afford the repairs and then couldn't make their car payment and it was eventually repossessed from the repair shop, leaving them without a vehicle for pretty close to a year or more until they were able to get another used car.


So lesson learned. IF you drive for Uber, keep it a secret!   ;)
