Make fast cash in 2018

MAKING some fast cash in 2018 has never been easier if you know where to look.

Whether it’s to pay down debt, boost your monthly income, save for a mortgage or travel overseas, there are plenty of apps, services, strategies and investment options out there which can help you earn a fast buck.

One of the easiest ways to make some extra cash is to join the sharing economy and hire out items which you already own but don’t use.

There are literally hundreds of apps in cyberspace which allow you to rent out things such as your car, house, campervan or camera equipment.

If your car is only driven sporadically, why not hire it out on Turo or Car Next Door while it is not in use? Turo car owners typically receive about 75 per cent of the fees charged.

Or if you are too scared to rent out your vehicle then you can always drive it yourself by joining ride sharing app Uber or the new Taxify.

Other motoring apps include Parkhound and Spacer which allow users to rent out their parking and storage spaces.

If you are going away for a holiday, why not use Airbnb to rent out your house or apartment. The other option if your property has a spare bedroom is to rent it out regularly, which can often yield more than a flatmate as you can charge by the night.

Other sharing economy options include browsing the jobs on Airtasker to find something which fits your skill set, or rent out your bicycle, snowboard or surfboard on Spinlister.
