10 Best Ways for College Students to Make Money Online

Money. It’s what every college student wants and what every college student lacks. You can save up all summer and it is sure to be gone by Thanksgiving. Or, more likely, Columbus Day weekend. There are tons of ways students can earn money online and keep up with the trust fund kids. Here a few:

  1. Teach the computer illiterate. Do you know your way around a computer better than you do your school’s library? Branch out your services to those who think a click of the mouse means their vermin troubles are gone.
  2. Help others set up their computers. Many people have computers but often incorrectly install their new machines or aren’t aware of the upgrades their systems offer. It can also be as easy as making sure they’ve got everything plugged into the right outlets.
  3. Join the blogosphere. Does everyone tell you have great ideas? Or maybe just you think you have great ideas. Either way start your own blog and if you’ve got something to say that people want to hear then the advertisers will be eager to be seen on your site.
  4. Create and update web page designs. Every company now wants to and needs to be on the web hocking its wares. If you’ve got experience creating webpages then your services will be in high demand.
  5. Join an online auction. eBay is the place on the web to sell anything from your prized possessions if you’re really in a bind or maybe old baseball cards for some extra cash.
  6. Help others join the digital music age. The old record collection doesn’t have to lie in dusty heap anymore and, if you have the little equipment needed, you can help transfer these old classics to a digital library.
  7. Clean up computer messes. Computers are constantly being ground to screeching halts by viruses and spyware these days. Computer users are eager for help cleaning up their systems.
  8. Scour the internet for lost records.Scan the internet for background checks for employers or track down old classmates for clients.
  9. Sell the next hot .com name. Selling domain names may sound silly since it seems all the good ones are taken, but with new domains extensions emerging the possibilities are endless.
  10. Be a photographer. With digital photos taking the place of the old family scrapbook, computer savvy individuals are in high demand to help computer illiterates in this new direction.

    My two cents… do what you have an absolute passion for. If you do what you love, you become an absoultely fierce competitor and will beat up on others that don’t have the same passion as you.

    On the other side of the Adbrite vs Adsense argument lays Adbrite, the slightly smaller company that has just as trustworthy of a reputation. Many marketers have been using Adbrite for some time now and will swear by their product. Their advertising options come in a number of different formats, including CPM and CPC. You can use in-text ads as well as full page ads to show between content pages (similar to newspaper sites). You can also choose to have checks mailed out at smaller, $5 increments, so you won’t need to wait for months when you start a new account and are building traffic. ‘

    The problem is I doubt if the majority of our youths out there are willing to work hard as to doing any of the listed options…
    They always look for small work big pay jobs and thereby falling into the hands of scammers or eventually turning into scams. I wish they follow these steps, choose just one nd follow it, it will do them a lot of gud!
