How to make 400 pounds fast?

I know most of the answers are gonna be "become a stripper" or "sleep with me" or something 'funny' like that but I'm in a desperate situation so please be serious. I need to make around 400 pounds in a week. I don't live in the UK so please try not to give me answers that involve things that are specific to the UK. I'm just looking for ideas. I don't have a job (trust me i'm trying REALLY hard to find one) and nothing valuable that i can sell. Is there ANY WAY to make that kind of money really quickly? Lol. I know its probably next to impossible but...i'm kinda desperate right now.

Erm.
Short of robbing someone, you would either need to get a job and work for hours and hours, sell ANYTHING you can on eBay/etc and/or start busking/begging....

Go to the nearest city and busk, and if you can't play an instrument or sing, beg. You'll never get £400 though, be lucky to get £40.

you cant really make pounds outside of uk. There's not many jobs that pay uk pounds outside uk. very rare. if u can tell where u are at, that wud help.

and also do you have to make 400 every week or is it onetime only?
And wat skills you possess? how much money you have right now? wat education you have?
Im thinking you have none in terms of the above three mentioned things, thats why you asking for advice.

sorry, you can only beg....

This.

The only problem is that it would cost a lot of money, and we don't know how the OP is doing in terms of finances.

The other thing to think of is that you'll probably not actually receive the money until a week or more after you've done the hours :frown:

Yeah

My first thought was ebay your belongings. I know I could make £400 if i tried hard.

Secondly, get a job and work your butt off - do waitressing, give great service, smile loads etc = loads of tips!!

Borrow money?

Other than that - become an escort.

Carding

No one's mentioned matched betting. Could be quick if you put in the time to learn it and join a load of bookies, you could make more than 400 in your first week, but it falls significantly when you run out of bookies to join that offer a free bet.

By the way, you can't lose on matched betting.

It depends on your skills. But you simply won't make that much money, if it was that easy don't you think we all would be doing it?
To gain extra cash there are plenty of things to do, but it's all about finding those opportunities and you might not be that lucky.
If you're good at graphics- do freelancing, designing flyers for club events, pubs whatever..cash in hands usually but don't pay that much.
Catalog distributing? There are adverts for that everywhere but it's one of those jobs that claim to earn you lots but won't.
Just keep looking for work, especially offline :P go to bars, pubs and restaurants, see if they need extra staff even if for a short term.
