1. Plasma

Plasma is the forgotten part of blood. As we already know, red blood cells, white blood cells, and also platelets are important components in order for the body to function properly.

Another important component is plasma, which also plays a key role. This is a fluid that is responsible for carrying the blood components throughout the whole body.

There are a lot of medical centers out there where you can donate plasma and get some extra cash. They pay anywhere from $25 to $50 for a donation.

If you don’t have any idea what this fluid looks like, we are here to explain. After a doctor or a nurse collects a quantity of blood from a patient, the liquid separates and plasma is actually the clear fluid that remains at the bottom.

Plasma is being bought because it can serve as a component for many treatments, including genetic diseases, such as autoimmune disorders and hemophilia.

The more you weigh, the more plasma you can donate, and as a result, the more money you will get. Keep in mind that you can donate this fluid every two weeks, but it is better to consult with your doctor before deciding to do so!

2. Hair

What woman hasn’t dreamed of having nice, long, shiny, and strong hair, that will make everyone stare at her? Those who took care of their hair didn’t dye it and kept it nice and healthy, are lucky, because if they are tired of the inches, they can get some money for them.

Just like blood, hair can also be donated to a good cause, such as centers that are responsible for creating wigs for those who are suffering from cancer or leukemia. But if you just want to make some extra cash, you can sell it at a pretty sweet price… up to $1,000.

However, if you want to obtain the extra cash, you must respect some rules. Your hair should be as long and as “natural” as possible. That means you shouldn’t have applied hair dyes, either permanent or temporary, or other chemical treatments that could damage the quality.

Usually, buyers are interested in making wigs and hair extensions, and they are not going to be interested in how many dye jobs you’ve had or in your split ends.

3. The whole body

This one is interesting, especially if you have ever wondered what it would be like to be a mouse or a monkey scientists do experiments on. There are many clinical trials out there, where people serve as testers for drugs or other treatments for different conditions. However, these clinical trials are not usually advertised by researchers and hospitals.

According to Consumerist Commentary, people who are willing to go through a process like this can earn up to $1,000 per person. On the other hand, before someone even thinks about enrolling in something like this, they should consider the fact that there might be potential risks after.

4. Sperm

Men who are eligible for sperm donation can make up to $600 per month, according to the Sperm Bank of California. By doing this, the donor helps couples that have trouble conceiving a baby.

The person who makes the semen donation can be either known or anonymous to the recipient. If the recipient knows where the donations are coming from, the process is called directed donations.

The sperm that was previously donated can be injected into a woman’s reproductive organs, which is called intrauterine insemination. Another way of using it is to fertilize mature eggs in a lab, a process known as in vitro fertilization (IVF). When someone uses donated sperm in order to conceive, the whole process is known as third-party reproduction.

Before men decide to donate sperm, they must be checked out for medical conditions and other risk factors. Speaking of money, they can get $125 for every sperm sample that is accepted.
