Ok, I am not talking about doing anything illegal or indecent here but there are a few things which you can do to make some extra money with your body..

Selling your hair

I don’t know if it’s because more and more people are going bald (probably all the dissolved chemicals in tap water) but wigs, hair extensions and hairpieces are popular again. The best of these are made of real hair and of course, it’s got to come from somewhere. Typically, you need to have hair longer than 6 inches, it needs to be clean with no colouring or other treatment. Banbury Postiche are a major wig make and will pay you about £3 per ounce of hair that is 6-12 inches long and £5 per ounce for anything longer than 12 inches.

Sperm and Egg donation

As a student I frequently saw adverts for sperm donation but the thought of having an untold child freaked me out so I never thought to do this. However, the money wasn’t bad,  you can get paid up to £40 for a.. er, deposit! If you want to go down this route, then go and visit your fertility centre or hospital. As a female, egg donation however involves being given drugs to regulate your menstrual cycle and then a 10 minute operation to remove them.. I would think carefully about donating your eggs as a female however. So, a relatively easy way for a man (if you have good sperm count) but perhaps not so easy for a woman.

Medical Experiments

A lot of students I knew did this when I was a student but being a human guinea pig, you just don’t know what sort of risks are involved. You may experience nothing and find it a very lucrative way to earn some pocket money but then again, what if something goes wrong? Visit http://www.biotrax.com who list all the medical trials which are currently available. A lot of people earn thousands doing this type of stuff but just remember that you never quite know the short term, let along long term affects it may have on you.

Psychological Research

This is relatively easy work and the pay can be quite good. You will be recruited for memory tests, brain imaging and other brain studies. You will get paid in cash for your time and travel expenses. You can get paid up to £60 for a session.

Police Line-up

Just visit your local police station and they will pay you about £10 for your picture which they will use for line-ups… let just hope you don’t get picked mistakenly for something you didn’t do!

Life Modelling

All you need to do is to sit still and be ok with people drawing/sculpting you. Contact the local art schools and adult education centres. You can also put up adverts in local arts schools or newspapers. Each session can last up to 3 hours and you can get paid upto £10 ($20 USD) per hour clothed and up to £15 ($30 USD) unclothed.

Film/TV extra

I have always wanted to do this but I never got picked. Would it be great to see yourself in the background of the new Harry Potter film? Anyway, you can earn up to £70 ($150 USD) a day for just a few hours work… more if you have your own props. All you have to do is to find a casting agency but be aware of the ones which as for an upfront fee.
