This article will suggest ten ways to make two hundred dollars in one day. The amount of motivation that you have is directly proportional to you achieving this goal. I will break down the numbers and apply them realistically to jobs you can complete and things you can do to make two hundred dollars in one day.
Let us start with the numbers. You need to understand the numbers first and the rest will make sense. There are twenty four hours in a day. Let us assume that you will sleep for eight of them.
24 –8 = 16
You now have sixteen hours left. You need to eat three times and get clean. Let us assume that time for three meals and time for personal hygiene is two hours.
16 –2 = 14
I could stop here and have a fourteen hour workday. Let us not forget time for friends,family,and your favorite TV show after we get done making two hundred dollars. We can also throw in time to check our email and read this article. I will four hours to this time. A normal working day for our sake will be ten hours.
14 –4 = 10
Now that we have our time outside the working day accounted for we see that we have ten hours to make $200. Let us break that down to figure out how much we need to earn in one hour to reach our goal.
200 / 10 = 20
We can now see that we need to make only $20 an hour! At twenty dollars an hour for ten hours we can make two hundred dollars in one day. With this type of breakdown it seems so much easier to achieve the goal,doesn’t it?
Now it is time for the nitty gritty. What can we physically accomplish or trade for twenty dollars an hour? Let us think about what we can do on an incremental basis.
Be a dog walker
Walk four dogs at one time for one hour for five dollars each. Conversely,walk one dog for fifteen minutes for five dollars.
Hand wash vehicles
In one hour you can wash,dry and even vacuum one vehicle. Don’t forget about the windows on the inside! Tip- pickup trucks are the easiest but may the most dirty.
Yard work
A reasonable size yard can be edged and cut in one hour. This is considering using a push mower. I would recommend a self-propelled mower for the task. Remember,edge first and cut second. If you get really good you will become faster. If you get a few houses on the same block you could actually make more than twenty dollars per hour!
Change oil
Everyone needs the oil changed in their vehicles. You can charge twenty dollars to change the oil in someone’s vehicle. If you choose this method please be responsible and dispose of the old oil and filter properly.
Writing skills
If you have good writing skills and know someone looking for a job you can write a resume for them. You can conceivably turn one resume into a two hour project. Spend forty five minutes to consult with them and get an outline of their skills,job history and info about the job they are applying for. Allot one hour to write a cover letter and one page resume. After you complete the resume spend 15 minutes going over it with your client. Two hours equals forty bucks!
Clean a pool
You can clean the leaves out of your neighbor’s pool. Scrub the sides of the walls at water level. Don’t forget the filters on the side and the corners. After those steps are completed start the vacuum for them. You can charge per the hour or per visit.
Wash windows
There are several ways to go about this one. You can charge twenty dollars per house,twenty dollars per story,or five dollars a window. There is lots of money to be made here if you charge per window. Do not be reluctant to bargain with the owner. Remember your goal is twenty dollars in one hour. Just be careful if you decide to do the second story!
Conclusion
You see it is easy to make two hundred dollars in one day. Realistically it may be difficult to keep this income going with just the few jobs listed here. Use your brain and see where there are opportunities to make more money or other ways to earn the same amount.
The ultimate way to earn money in my opinion is to do something once and continue to get paid for it over and over again. You can only trade so many hours for dollars. You have to give the majority of what they want. If you can duplicate that…even better.
There is an old saying that goes like this,“Find something you like to do and you will never work another day in your life.”
