Five Effective Ways Students can make Money Online

Often, I have noticed that students are hooked to their systems for hours  together on social networking sites and   chatting. They  literally  while   away  their  time. Instead  they  could  utilize  the  same time earning money online.  This  would   not  only   add  up  to  their pocket money, but also  help  them acquire a new skill. Here are a few interesting ways through which you can earn a quick buck:

1) Become a teacher

Most people are busy building their careers and some drop out of academics early, because they want to earn some money. Learning takes a backseat and they cannot afford to join a university for a regular course anymore either due to time or money constraints. So, online tutorials have become popular. For instance if you were good at a subject, you could start online tutorials, create study materials, syllabi and charge a fee. Spread word around to help you get prospective students. For instance, I know of a lot of students belonging to different nationalities who want to learn English. They simply login to online tutorials, register and learn the language. So you could really make hay while the sun shines!

2) Words earn money

Words sell like crazy. Buy a domain for a nominal rate, choose a domain name and if something catches your fancy or fantasy, start pouring your thoughts. Once you start writing daily (some even write on an hourly basis), you can get noticed in the virtual world. Google’s Ad Sense helps you earn money in lieu of the number of clicks generated through your posts. The more frequently you update your blogs, higher will be the number of subscribers to your posts, more will be the earnings. Apart from blogs, there are websites that pay to review movies, music and gadgets. But be sure to check the terms and conditions.

3) Jobs per hour

A lot of companies have started a new trend of distributing tasks online. They develop certain types of product such as software, hardware or even assembling of mechanical parts. Employers divide the task of developing it (according to specialization) among groups of people, especially those who have access to the net and surf all day. They advertise about these tasks online and pay them on an hourly basis. If you think you are good at technical jobs and have some time of the day free, then don’t waste time. Start applying now!

4) Earn to participate in surveys

Brands have become conscious about public feedback on their products and even consumers love to see feedback on their favorite brands from time-to-time. Cashing in on this, most companies have started paid surveys. Once you register yourself online with any of these brands, you will keep getting alerts about surveys. This way you can keep yourself up-to-date with brands as well as earn a decent amount of pocket money. Regular market research groups also pay to simply give opinions. All you have to do is take a few tests and get paid. Once they find you dedicated, you could become their regular subject.

5) Sell your ware online

Last but not the least, if you can do neither of the above, you can earn money on a mouse click. Login o sites like eBay, Amazon and other sites, and sell your gadgets, old CDs, clothes, furniture etc. Lots of buyers are waiting to buy them. So what are you waiting for? Get started now! These jobs may not pay much, but can sustain your student lifestyle and you can do some good community service too. So make yourself useful!
