You only have a few options when you need to make money fast with no job.

Searching online about “how to make money fast” might lead you to payday advance apps (e.g., Albert, Cleo, Chime, Dave), but these apps are unreliable methods of making money quickly. Not to mention that these options charge interest fees that leave you right back where you started.

So, how can you make money fast with no job (even when you are homeless)?

JobStack is an application where people find temporary work from employers. Many job categories are available to you, including General Labor, Construction, Cleaning, Food Service and Packaging, Events and Venues, Hospitality, Manufacturing and Production, Mechanical, Moving Services, Transportation, Retail Work, Warehouse Work, Waste Collection, and Recycling.

But most important of all, you get paid the moment your shift is completed.

No need to thank me. When you work at least 8 hours, I earn a small referral bonus at no additional cost to you.

Here is more information about how it works.

JobStack by PeopleReady functions similarly to a temporary work agency: Employers pay PeopleReady to source emergency employees. Then, PeopleReady takes a cut and pays the employees their share.

And if you are lucky, the employer might even hire you.

All of this labor is coordinated through the JobStack app.

  1. Get set up with working documents in a few minutes.
  2. At your local branch, take an “interview” to verify your identification, then take a short safety test you cannot fail.
  3. Use the application to find jobs and manage your work.

Once you finish a job on the app, you confirm your hours; then your payment is processed.

Now, here is how you get money fast.

A regular job might require you to wait two weeks before you receive your money. And that’s in addition to an unpaid, month-long interview process!

With JobStack, you have access to two payment methods the day you get approved:

  1. Payment via Direct Deposit, which pays you in 3 to 5 business days after the day you worked.
  2. Payment via Wisely Card, which pays you the moment you complete your shift. When you need cash on that same day, withdraw cash from any Walmart.

But how can you get approved for JobStack quickly?

Call your local PeopleReady branch and ask for the (week) days you can interview in-person. Then, set up your account on the app before that time comes.

It’s that simple.

This temporary work app is the fastest way I’ve found to make hundreds of dollars while homeless, with no skill requirements or lengthy interview processes required. I started receiving jobs within 24-hours of setting up the app and got paid within a week (after opting for Direct Deposit).

So, when you need money fast, download JobStack now: https://switchupcb.com/r/jobstack.
