I currently give plasma twice a week (the limit) through CSL Plasma. I've been doing this for over half a year and I usually get about $400 a month (amount is based on weight). The big drawback for me is the scarring. I have a bump like scar on my arm from where the needle goes in. Aside from that and the initial pain of having the needle go in and out, I don't have any complaints. I literally sit in a chair for an hour on my phone while the machine does its thing.
It's a nice bit of extra income that I can use on whatever. Usually on trips or unexpected costs (such as having to replace a flat tire).
Btw, after they get the plasma from your blood, they pump everything else back into you and it is COLD. Bring a blanket.
