This post 5 Ways to Make Money with Your Body (Legally)<\/a> appeared first on Daily Reckoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Could you use some extra cash? Donating body materials can be akin to a part-time job. And the pay is often better than driving for a ridesharing company or working as a retail clerk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with the easiest way to earn money with your body and work our way to the more complex.<\/p>\n

<\/b>1. Hair \u2014 up to $1,500 \u2026 or more!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Buyers want healthy, attractive hair for wigs, extensions, and art projects. Hair that has never been dyed is the most popular. The longer the better \u2014 at least 15-35 inches.\u00a0<\/span>
\nColor is also important. Redheads fetch the biggest bucks followed by natural blondes and brunettes. Not much demand for gray.<\/p>\n

You can get an idea on how much your hair is worth here<\/a><\/strong>. Once you have that, there are online markets such as HAIRSELLON.com<\/a><\/strong> and BuyAndSellHair.com<\/strong><\/a> where you can post your locks for sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/span>Blood plasma \u2014 up to $400 per month<\/b><\/h2>\n

Plasma is the light-yellow liquid portion of blood that remains after it is separated by a machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Donating is like giving blood, and you can do it up to two times a week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plasma therapies help people with genetic, chronic conditions such as hemophilia and Kawasaki disease lead healthier and more productive lives.<\/p>\n

And patients need a lot of it …\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, it takes more than 1,200 plasma donations to treat one hemophilia patient. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Cross and similar organizations won\u2019t pay for your plasma. But pharmaceutical companies will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are licensed and International Quality Plasma Program (IQPP) certified plasma collection centers throughout the U.S. You can search for one in your area by clicking here<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/span>Sperm \u2014 $500 to $2,000 per month\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Guys, this isn\u2019t as simple as going to a clinic and handing over a mason jar containing your sperm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The qualifications are tough because sperm seekers are paying big bucks. And they want the perfect specimen \u2026<\/p>\n

They\u2019re looking for men who are healthy, well-educated, and maybe even a minimum height.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you pass the initial screening, you\u2019ll have to provide your family\u2019s medical history, undergo STD testing, submit a sample to measure the quality, and undergo genetic testing.<\/p>\n

A longer-term consideration is that with the rise of more DNA testing services, the offspring you helped create could one day look you up.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/strong><\/a> to find a sperm bank directory in your area. And if you\u2019re married, I suggest you check with your wife first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/span>Eggs \u2014 $6,000 to $8,000 or more<\/b><\/h2>\n

Egg donation is a complex process in which an egg is surgically removed from a fertile woman and donated to another woman in order to help her conceive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A series of screenings, tests for diseases, counseling, and genetic tests are required and take about two months.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t for everyone … generally fertility centers are looking for healthy donors age 21 to 35. Potential participants who smoke, use drugs, have a high body mass index, or have mental health issues aren\u2019t eligible. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thought to keep in mind \u2026<\/p>\n

While some donors might get satisfaction knowing they\u2019ve created a new life, others may find that giving up a child is psychologically troubling. And like sperm donors, there\u2019s the possibility that the children you helped create may someday try to contact you.<\/p>\n

If this is of interest, fertility centers are in almost every community. You could also check with your gynecologist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/span>Surrogate \u2014 $35,000 to $53,000 or more\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Carrying a couple\u2019s sperm and egg until a child is born is a long-term commitment \u2026 15 to 18 months.<\/p>\n

Also, the screening process is much more intense. It can include medical and psychological evaluations, criminal background check, home visits, and even financial status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also be required to follow a certain diet and lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, paid a surrogate $45,000 to carry their third child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They stipulated that their surrogate could not smoke, drink, or do drugs during the pregnancy and had to refrain from going in hot tubs, handling cat litter, and applying hair dye. Nor could she eat raw fish or drink more than one caffeinated beverage a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The legality can be an issue since some states ban surrogacy contracts. So you might want to obtain legal representation beforehand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/b><\/h2>\n

A final point when making the decision to sell your body\u2019s materials \u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only about the extra cash you\u2019ll receive, there\u2019s the altruistic point \u2026<\/p>\n

You might make a chemo patient feel better about herself, create a life when helping a childless-couple become parents, or save a life when your donation is for the research needed to treat a rare disease.<\/p>\n

To a richer life,<\/p>\n
