As your blood is drawn out it goes through this machine that separates out the plasma from the red blood cells and other material. That material is collected and held separately and once you're done with the plasma donation, it is returned to your body. So the difference is, you get some of your blood back! Since the body is able to replenish plasma a lot faster than red blood cells, you're able to donate plasma again within days unlike blood donation where the wait time is quite long.
How should I make some extra cash?

Explain to me the difference? Do they not take out your blood either way?

I see. I do not think I would want them to put the blood back in me once they took it if I did do that.
