I received an email the other day from a College Student wanting to know how they could make extra money online. The email stated they didn’t have a lot of time because of their studies. So after giving it some thought, I came up with a list of 7 quick ways college students could make extra money online.
I dismissed blogging in general because it takes some time to get a blog established and making money (the exception is local websites and blogs, see below). I assumed the emailer needed money fairly quick.
Here are my suggestions to the emailer.
Project Payday: A few months ago, I experimented with a legitimate way to make money quick online with a program called Project Payday. I took about half a day and researched this project online. Seemed real people were making real money with it. Not getting rich, but making enough extra money quickly to pay some bills or other stuff. The next day I signed up with Project Payday, watched the training video’s and browsed the Forums to get a feel as to how this program worked. In all, this process took me a few hours. The next day I followed the directions and made myself available for some “jobs”. The first day, I made $50. The next day I hit it hard for about 6 hours and brought down $225 for my efforts. The following day, I worked 3 to 4 hours total and made $130. I soon found out one drawback to this program. It’s boring! No special skills are needed other than the know-how to operate your computer and use the Internet, but it is tedious work. I’m not cut out to spend hours behind a computer! Most people can make money quickly with this program, but you’ll have to put the time into it. The more time you put into it, the more money you’ll make generally. It’s that simple. If you’re interested, check out Project Payday by clicking here. It’s free to sign up, so go ahead and sign up, read the promotional literature they have and watch the training video’s. They even have a guarantee that says if you follow the simple 4 step process in Method 1 and don’t make money in 24 hours, they’ll give you $100! This is the best guarantee I’ve seen online. I doubt anyone will need it though, because it is that easy to make money with Project Payday. Read Emails - Taking Online Survey’s, etc: In my opinion, this isn’t as easy as Project Payday, but it’s real close. There are companies that receive thousands of emails every day that need to be read. Obviously the CEO or other employees can’t spend every day reading emails, so they outsource this. There are several companies where they outsource this type of work as well as other tedious, time consuming chores such as product testing, online surveys, online mystery shopping and other. Send Earnings is one such company that other companies outsource to. Consumers such as you sign up and are normally paid on a per assignment completed basis. The pay varies by what type of assignment you choose. You choose where you want to make money. Click Here to learn more or to sign up for this opportunity. Become a Freelance Writer - Can you Write a sentence Then you may have what it takes to make money as a Freelance Writer. You don’t have to have a degree in English either. In fact, if you can write in an easy to read manner, you have what it takes to make money writing Web content, short stories and other media. You can sell articles on Forums like DigitalPoint and SitePoint, but don’t expect to make a whole lot. Or you can sign up for a service like Freelance Home Writers. Basically this is a job board for Writers where Companies and Individuals needing Writers post their offers. You can either accept or reject them, it’s up to you. Click here for more information about the Freelance Home Writer program and learn how to make money as a Freelance Writer. Ebay - Yes, ebay. As long as there are College Students, there’ll be some students who need money and those who are making money. You could easily sell stuff for other Students and take a small commission from them. A better way would find Dropshippers and Wholesalers. This is how many Power Sellers make their living from eBay. Back when I made money with Ebay, I visited Garage Sales and Estate Auctions to buy stuff to resell. It wasn’t until I got the FREE Ebay For Dummies starter kit (I think I had to pay 2 bucks for shipping) that I really started making some good money. This starter kit is full of tips and advice for people wanting to make money with ebay. It also has lists of Dropshippers and Wholesalers that you can use. Click here for more information on this free starter kit. Become an Online Tutor - I’m not sure what this pays, but I’ve known people in the past who have worked with companies like e-Tutor, SmartThinking and Don // Jul 18, 2007 at 3:50 pmThanks for sharing that site with us Michelle. I just took a quick look at it and it does seem like a viable option for someone needing a quick paying part time job they can do online.
Definitely a very good blog post. My blog is about working from home and I’m going to link to your post because its a good list not just for college kids but for just about anyone that would like to work from home and are tired of all of those “work at home” scams.

Hmmm. That’s actually a nice list there that I have never encountered before. Thanks for the tips!
[...] you’re a college student needed a few extra bucks for the keg party, a stay at home Mom who needs some extra cash for the [...]
I was going to comment on, but I see I’ve been beaten to the punch. It’s a really innovative service for both contributors and for students seeking help with study, I recommend them heartily.
Another option is the ‘new wave’ of survey/offer sites cropping up on the net recently, such as TreasureTrooper or CashCrate. A far cry from the borderline-scam survey sites of old, there’s no promise of overnight riches, just realistic payment for surveys and offers completed, with payouts by check in increments of $10.
Where they really shine is in their multi-tier referral programs, where a user can get a percentage of the earnings of anyone they get to sign up, and also anyone that person signs up. If a student can get everyone in their dorm to sign up, it can mean an easy 50 bucks (and 10 or 20 for those they referred, so everyone wins).
This is a great place that is just getting started and you can Join for Free. Share it with you friends. Log in and Out 30 times a month and you will qualify for your share of the bonus money that comes from the advertisers. It should increase every month.
These sound like good suggestions yet e jury and project pay day are only open to the U.S, does anyone know of any sites open to Australia
actually, making a blog really isn’t that difficult nor does it even take that long. You can always buy an already established blog for less than $100 off many trade sites and start by selling reviews or buzzes for anywhere between $10 to 25 a post and collect on maybe google adsense or link rentals. You can start earning in usually as little as 3 days after maybe some basic simple seo work and etc.
Thanks for your 7 tips friend
So I’m confused. In this day in age when professors are getting more and more into the digital age (even the oldest ones), isn’t having someone else write your paper for you sort of “illegal” at any school Isn’t it like plagarism since it’s not actually the person’s own work but the work of another student
I want to appreciate you. may God Almighty bless you for the above information, they will work in such a country as mine where we are still developing
Thank You
