It is obvious that college students need extra money. Going to class, taking notes, and studying for tests is what you’re spending a lot of money on, but there’s more to the college experience than these things. It will take extra money and a good spender to enjoy things outside of the classroom. Below are some suggestions that will give you some ideas on how to have the funds to enjoy college life and still have time for your studies.
If you haven’t thought about using the internet to earn some extra money, it’s time to start. The Internet can provide the additional Ka Ching you need. You may not get rich as a student on the internet, but you can always have money in your pocket. Who knows, it may generate huge income in the future. I personally know a man who graduated from one of the best universities in the US and became rich on the internet in an area unrelated to his degree. He can earn a little or a lot of money in cyberspace. It depends on you and only you.
You will need to sell something or help others to sell something. You can do this by creating a simple website or websites and selling your own products and helping others sell their products to affiliate programs and advertising programs like Google AdSense. Don’t buy AdWords unless you have a lot of money and you probably don’t or you wouldn’t be reading this page. eBay is a great way to get some quick cash. Find something to buy very cheap and sell it at a reasonable price to the customer.
Some things will do a lot more than you expect, especially if it’s a vintage band or star t-shirt. Check out goodwills, garage sales, etc. They are still out there and the owner doesn’t know what they have. They just want him out of his house. When you find something like this and you will if you search diligently, SHOUT because you’re fixing to make some money. These finds are little treasures. It’s not hard to set it up on eBay if you haven’t already. I just play around with it and sell 12 to 16 thousand dollars a year. It’s not all profit, but it’s all money, and the money left over feels good in my pocket.
Keep your eyes peeled for junk, on the sidewalk, waiting for trash pickup. When mom tells dad to take the trash out of her house, that’s money in your pocket. Dad doesn’t care, he just wants mom to be happy and mom is not happy with the garbage in her house.
