Hey Reddit, I'm in a bit of a bind and need to come up with $5,000 fast. I'm looking for creative, legal ways to make this happen in a couple of days. Here's what I'm working with:

(1) Legal Expertise: I have a background in corporate, entertainment, and immigration law. If there are any legal avenues I can explore to earn quick cash, I'm all ears. (2) Music Production: I'm also into music production and have some experience in content creation. Maybe there's a way to leverage these skills? (3) Resourcefulness: I'm pretty resourceful and willing to explore various avenues, from gig economy jobs to unique, one-off opportunities. (4) Location: Based in a big city, so I have access to a variety of markets and opportunities.

I'm open to all suggestions, from the conventional to the out-of-the-box. Just keep it legal and feasible. Thanks in advance!

Is prostitution legal in your area?

Going from not doing it to doing 5000$ in a few days would be a hell of a ride

I've handled a LOT more money. This isn't very complicated, I'm just looking for ideas.

Fair enough advice

If you’re coming to reddit with this question, it’s not going to happen bud. If anybody knows how to make 5k in a few days, they aren’t in this sub, furthermore they’re keeping that secret to themselves.

Go get a loan and pay it back. Entrepreneur ≠ quick cash

Well, thanks for the financial wisdom! I guess I'll have to cancel my plans to buy a private island with Reddit earnings. But seriously, if anyone has any out-of-the-box ideas to make some extra cash, I'm all ears. Let's see if this creative community can come up with something interesting.

Start by living within your means and then QUIT GAMBLING!

Why do assume I'm gambling?

Feet pics? I'll think about it. Seems like you've mistaken this for a high-stakes drama – it's not. I've juggled figures that dwarf this $5k, so this is just another day for me. No dramatic getaways or cloak-and-dagger stuff needed. I'm here for legit ways to make cash, and I mean business.

I have an idea if you are based in the USA, can you make good videos wih royalty free music you made?

[–] Careless_Beautiful34@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm based in the USA, and I own my music. Please DM w/ details. Appreciate this a lot!

If you’re willing to find a job that pays cash like construction laborer, landscaping, and jobs that pay next day, work 20 hours straight earning at least $15/hour. Maybe try doing fall clean ups for $200 that take 4 hours to do.

Then take say $600 in earnings, gamble $450 on $150 a roulette number in Las Vegas with a single 0 roulette wheel if they have it anywhere. You have about 8.5% odds of making $5,400. That’s not that terrible.

Find an expensive thing or service. Find someone who wants the expensive thing or service. Require payment for the expensive thing or service upfront. Charge over a $5k markup (consider legal obligations like taxes, permits, etc). Use the money you received as payment to fulfill the expensive thing or service. Forward it to the buyer. Don't break any laws.

Good luck.
