Get paid for plasma donation

BioLife Plasma (www.biolifeplasma.com) will pay anywhere from $55 to $85 a week for plasma.

You can make 2 visits every 7 days. The first visit they pay $20 ($30 on a priority day). You can go again 2 days later and then they pay the rest. Right now the program is running based on a month. The first week will get you $55, the second $65, and the third and fourth weeks will pay $75, plus $10 extra if it's priority day. They will give you a debit card that they credit every time you donate.

A note. If your first visit is on a Wednesday then you can't come the next week for your first visit until Wednesday, because you can't have more than 2 visits in 7 days. So I recommend getting in on a Monday for your first visit then your second one can be anytime from Wed. to Sat.

Each visit takes about 45 minutes to an hour and a half. It just depends on how fast your blood pumps through, which is more about how much water you drank in the last 24 hours. They have a great childcare room. I take my 2 little girls (2 and 4) and they play with dolls, the pretend kitchen, watch movies, color, and paint. Two sweet little old ladies work in there and the girls love them now.

You will need to call and schedule a first visit/physical and donation. The physical isn't really a physical it's a lot of questions about your health and whether you do anything (tattoos, drugs, etc.) that would make your plasma unusable. Once that's finished (about an hour) you can go donate (about another hour). The first 2 visits you have to call and schedule, after that you can do it all online.

So if you're looking for away to make a little extra money, this is a great way to do it for only a couple hours a week.

If you have questions, let me know.
