What are some legitimate ways to make money quickly?

Some legitimate ways to make money quickly include writing online content, selling unused or barely worn clothes to a thrift store, and making and selling unique crafts through websites such as Etsy, notes The Penny Hoarder. As of 2015, these techniques may earn an extra $50 to $150 per week.

In addition, many people are able to make a few extra dollars by selling recyclables back to grocery stores or scrap metal, such as old car parts, to junk yards. These methods to make money quickly, especially the ones that include online work, are not "get rich quick" scams, explains The Penny Hoarder.
