Quickest way I'd be able to make $100 today is to sell something I already own and no longer use.

Another way would be to get someone to prepay you today for a job you will do over the course of the week or something similar.

I agree..if you need to make about $100 for one day, the easiest would be to sell off items around your place that you are not using anymore.

We just sold a few things around the house and made about $250.

Find someone who wants to sell an ebook and offer him to post it to lots of sites?

I actually always felt that no one would buy any of my old stuff. And then I stuck them on craigslist and was surprised by how many people bought stuff. Nearly 80% of everything I had put up sold within 5 days. Even old tae kwon do gear which was 7 years old.

I wish I had done this much earlier in my life. I would have had way less stuff. I unfortunately had a "learned helplessness" syndrome about selling old stuff.

The money is of course nice but the things you learn about selling is and negotiating is really cool.

And finally the peace of mind that comes with having less stuff is probably the best part.

Perhaps I've misunderstood the question but surely most people who have a normal job e.g. software development make $100 every day? For example I am self-employed and my hourly rate is $91/hr so today after 8 hrs I'll have made $728 which after the 50% tax in my country is $364. And today wasn't even a very stressful day.
