Donate plasma? At least if you're in the US, "donating" plasma actually involves financial reimbursement. I'm a pblebotomist at a plasma collection center, and with the goal of getting donors to come in twice a week, you can make almost one hundred dollars a week (coming in twice, about an hour for each visit). Plus, the plasma is used to make medicine so it's really helpful! No contract, no hours, just make an appointment. I don't know if you have a place like this near you, but if needles don't freak you out too much it's really easy.

Hmm...speaking as someone else who also needs some extra cash, how would I go about doing this/where would I go to start this process? At this point, even an extra $10 or $20 a week would be a boon, forget $100, as I can't get full-time hours at my job.

Provided there is a center in your area, it's pretty easy. If you're eligible to donate blood, you're probably okay donating plasma, too (FDA regulations and all). The first time you go, you usually need to meet with the center nurse for a check up and vein check (you should have pretty good sized veins to donate), but after that, it's quick and easy. At my place, you make an appointment whenever you like, provided we're not totally booked (but we're open all day so it's not too hard to find a slot. The whole process takes roughly an hour or less each time, and you can bring your laptop, books, whatever to entertain yourself. Ideally, they want you to come twice a week (but you can't go more than that). Because of this, most centers I think have a "bonus" the second time you come in a week (for example, each visit is thirty dollars, but if you go twice a week you get an extra twenty dollars, so a total of eighty per week)

Most of the policies are probably similar, but I guess it would depend on the company you go with. The big thing is just having a center in your town. If you have one near you, it really doesn't hurt to try, making appointments is free. I used to do it myself, but I'm not allowed since I work for the company now, haha.

That sounds really good, actually. Beyond just Googling "where do I sell my plasma", is there a good way to find plasma centers to donate to? Any companies you recommend looking for in particular? :)

I'd probably just Google, I'm not sure how else to find them myself! I don't know many companies besides my own (but I know they are out there), and mine is only in my region I think. Good luck! :D

That would be sweet, sadly you don't get money for that here.
