I do WordPress web development/Graphic Design and motion design/python software development at an average level. And I have a stable income from what I do. Recently there happened an unexpected issue that I'm not able to deal with financially. So I'm interested if there is a way or some method that I can earn 1500 bucks literally in 3 days except loans.

I'm ready to do any job in my skills but I'm almost sure I cannot earn this much in such a short period. But anyway, I'm open to any suggestions and opinions.

Thanks in advance.

None that i can think off... The company i work for regularly hires senior consultants for other teams, i know senior consultants that charge >€1500/day, but they are specialized in niche consultancy (for example, setting up and configuring very specialised custom SAP sollutions), they have gained a lot of trust by working their way from junior to senior consultant, and they have to give way more than 50% of their income to the tax collector afterwards.

I think your main problem is that there are plenty of wordpress/graphic designer/motion designer/python experts from low wage countries... I don't think you'll be able to charge >$500/day (after taxes) by staying within your speciality (at least, not shortterm...).

I know you said: no lending... But getting a loan from a bank might be your only shot at getting $1500 in 3 days... Unless you're willing to do risky or degrading jobs.

Thanks for your feedback. Totally agree with the opinion that there are plenty of specialists at what I do from 'low wage' countries and that sometimes makes me feel that I need to change my niche :D.

If what you need the money for is a life threatening issue, then you have no option but  to take a loan from the bank, friends, relatives, business partners, spouse etc, if you're looking for someone to hire you based on your skills, you wouldn't earn that much and the whole process(interview, assessment of your skills)before you get hired may not be in tandem with your 3 days ultimatum.
Risky jobs, theft in particular seems to be the way people seek easy money this days, and no matter the condition, that's never something anyone should even think of, it has damning consequences.

You could try friends or family members since they're the closest.

Also, there's the Loans subforum here but noone's gonna lend without any form of assurance, especially from a non-reputable borrower. You won't get 1.5K unless you've some sort of collateral (e.g. alts) worth more than the amount.

This is one use for credit cards. It isn't advisable, but they can carry you through a crisis. When you get through this, you should consider building up some savings. I've been picking up Bitcoin so that I have something for a final emergency. Your other alternative is to sell something to raise the cash, or to negotiate delayed payment.

Thanks for all the advice and feedback. A guy offered the needed funds for a python automation script, and if this won't work I'll most likely go to a bank.

Sure, produce $1500 worth of value to someone in that time...

There are a number of freelance sites that allow programmers (among other people) to sell their services on an ad-hoc basis.
