Giving of Your Time
Things that simply take time include:
Filling out surveys, being part of a simple research study or mock trial.
There are many different kinds of research companies.
One online resource that has a listing of companies is www.greenbook.org.
There are various online survey compaines that offer everything from gifts to cash, a thorough search for "paid surveys" will get you in the right direction.
Mock trials are a way lawyers try to determine what
the general public will think about a case.
There are many forms of these but
finding one to participate in is not always easy.
You can call different attornies offices
and simply ask if they are having any mock trials,
or research sessions. You can look through greenbook also.
Giving of Your knowledge
If you know something really well,
you may be able to sell or teach that knowledge.
Some universities may need the aid of a specialized teacher or tutor,
or may benefit from having small lectures about what you know.
The way to find out is to call and ask if they need any aid in the field that you know.
You can also write a book about what you know.
It may seem like a big task, but if you've got a good knowledge base
and feel comfortable talking about what you know, you may be surprised at how easy it is to then type out those conversations.
You don't have to become a best seller to make a good bit of dough,
in fact you can aslo turn your book into an e-book and sell it that way.
If you have fresh new knowledge or a new idea,
don't be afraid to share or teach it.
Giving of Yourself
You can give of yourself in literal ways..
Donate Your Blood Plasma
Seems daunting, but it is not that bad when it's over.
The whole process takes an average of 1 - 3 hours,
and you can get paid anywhere from 15 - 35 dollars per donation.
Most places let you donate twice a week.
In some places you need to have an appointment in order to donate,
at others you can simply walk in.
If you don't like needles then it's probably not for you,
otherwise it can be very nice. Some places even have TVs on or music.
It is a good emergency cash option,
and the plasma you donate helps to save lives.
Popular donation compaines inculde Grifols
(biomat.grifols.com) and Adventus.
You can also find ads for these kinds of places in
local classified ad newspapers or pamphlets.
Medical research
Medical research can pay very well, if your willing to stay in a center for a month or take various pills and also have your blood drawn on a regular basis (basically turn your body over for study).
However, a lot of medical research studies are qucik and easy
and involve only a simple pill to take, or just a few visits to a clinic.
A popular medical research center is called Novum.
A lot of studies are general studies that just about anyone can participate in. There are also many studies that require you to have a condition of some sort like sunburn, muscle pain, headaches or even things like diabetes.
There are all kinds of medical research studeis that happen everyday.
You just have to seek them out. If you can spend some of your time,
and give of yourself, there are studies that pay as much as $2,000
for a couple weeks of research.
Some of the quick ones can pay nicely too.
The best place to look for local research studies is in free classified ad papers. You can find these at grocery stores and other stores where
free little magazines or newspapers are offered.
Other places to look include www.clinicaltrials.gov and www.centerwatch.com
