Most earn their money as employees or as entrepreneurs if they have a business idea that catches on in the market. However, there are people who manage to make money using methods that some people will find strange or, at any rate, strange. Here are just some of them.

“I sell blood plasma. I ask and offer seriousness”

Plasma is a liquid part of blood that can be used to treat many diseases. Erythrocytes and leukocytes, as well as platelets, “bath” in it, plasma is an environment rich in hormones and nutrients – mineral salts, vitamins, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Its preservation is strictly regulated. Liquid plasma can be stored for a maximum of one year at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and provided that it is frozen no more than 6 hours after its collection (from one donor). Should be used immediately after rapid thawing (source)

For example, in the US, the amount you can earn from selling your plasma depends on how often you donate. The American Red Cross limits donations to 28 days at a time, but many private centers allow donations to be made twice a week at least 48 hours apart. The amount you receive for each donation depends on several factors, including the length of your donation and your weight (the more you weigh, the more plasma you can donate). Centers typically charge between $30 and $60 per session. Source )

Rent as someone’s friend

Yes, people are paid to be friends with other people. I know there are banks on this topic; when a neighbor taking you out for a beer with a friend stops you and asks, “How much would you give this man to buy you a beer?”

But yes, people can be hired for various events. There are websites that facilitate this, such as RentAFriend.com. And the folks at The Penny Hoarder even did a great write-up about it, exploring this unusual money-making side hustle. The text states that some “money-paying friends” can earn close to $2,000 a week working full-time in a large, busy city. If you only work on weekends, the earnings are between $300 and $500. Rates range from $20 to $50 per hour. In Australia, Friends for Hire recommends charging between $15 and $50 per hour.

Have you thought about how much money you can make selling used underwear?

Selling used underwear might be the weirdest way to make money you can imagine. However, the potential profits in this industry are far from ridiculous. Thousands of people are turning their used underwear into cash.

Jellyfish for sale, do you mind?

Believe it or not, there is a market for pet jellyfish. Some types of jellyfish cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

What should I do? I am a writer. I write questionnaires for dating sites

What is it like to make money in queues?

Some people are willing to pay others to stand in queues in any queues. This can range from queuing for concert tickets to queuing for the latest iPhone.

Yes, there is a market for feces. Some medical facilities are willing to pay for healthy stool samples.

So you are effectively flushing money down the toilet, pun intended. The demand for such a service, no matter how scary it sounds, is huge. If you’re interested in learning more, take a look at the OpenBiome site, for example, so you don’t think we’re talking nonsense.

And these are just a few examples of the strange ways people make money. With a little creativity and ingenuity, there are countless ways to make extra money. Such as the role of a “professional eater”, a secret shopper, a seller of breast milk and more and more…
