I donate plasma once a week but right now have to take a break for a bit cause I got a tattoo. Only real Side effect is a craving for snacks and some additional cash in my wallet.
The cash part is quite nice. The donation facility I go to always has some kind of bonus programme going on too, so you usually get even more money than for a regular donation (800ml=25€ here - which is quite low, actually, as I've heard from US donors lol - plus a couple euros here and there).
Back when I was still working at GameStop and could barely afford rent, I'd go donate plasma 1-2x a week (2 times really is pushing it - your body needs to be fit for that) and tutor kids for some video game money. Or sometimes I'd just pay rent with the plasma money... Man, having no money sucks.
