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 could not only perk their pocket money, but also help them acquire
a new skill. Here are a few interesting ways
by which you can earn some money:
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, sylabii 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 your name and if you something catches your fancy or fantasy, start pouring
your thoughts. Get your thought process running. Once you start writing daily
(some even write on an hourly basis), you can get noticed in the virtual world.
Websites like Google’s Ad Sense are always ready to pay you for your writing. 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. The first one to They develop a certain type 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 neither of the above, you
can earn money on a mouse click. Login to 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 be highly paying, but can sustain your
student lifestyle and you could do some good community service too. So make
yourself useful!
