How to earn money online as a college student? Here are the best ways...

Are you tired of your 9-5 job and want easier way to earn money? What if I tell you that all you need is an internet connection and a laptop/smart phone to get your life on the route of financial freedom.

I quit my day job cause I was just not happy from it and I think that most of you aren’t too so here are some of the ways by which you can earn more money than your day job.( Note that I am not disclosing any amount as it will vary from person to person but your limit is the sky!).

But here comes the biggest factors that results in failure of these ideas. The factor is ‘CONSISTENCY’. If you don’t remain consistent than these ideas won’t work. Just keep in mind the reason you started this and never give up!

So without any B.S, let’s get started!

Here are my some of the best ways to earn money online (no qualification needed):

1. Creating a Blog/Website:

This is the most simplest and fastest way to earn money online. All you need is a blog/website and you are good to go.

There are plenty of websites where you can buy a domain for free. Just google them! And then host it to blogspot (a service provided by google) or even some free hosting plan from 000webhost.com.

You can then promote the blog/website through social media or by paid promotion on bing or google search engine. As soon as you start getting traffic you can add ads to your webpage and your earning meter will start ticking. There are many advertisement programs such as ADsense, Infolink, media.net etc.

I have seen people earn almost 10k-50k a month by just advertisements1

2. Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing is a big field and I will surely upload more about it in the near future. But here is a brief about it. The laymen definition of affiliate marketing is that “ when you help a brand/company make a sale they will give you some %age of the profit or else commission “.

Many people have succeeded by only doing affiliate marketing. And the best part is that you can do this for FREE. Sometimes you don’t even need a website for affiliate marketing.

You can sign up on Clickbank, Clickbooth, MaxBounty etc. for free. All you need is a mind that is good in marketing and you can literally and figuratively earn million(s).

You can promote the product on your social media account ( Any platform) or even your website if you own one. You can even make sales through email marketing.

To conclude I can say that if you are looking to make a complete career out of your online work then affiliate marketing is one of the most essential field to be there on your list.

3 3. Fiverr Freelancing:

This is also an pretty big topic to be covered in this brief article but here are some of the advantages of it. Freelance means to be self-employed. Most of you might happen to know what is freelancing exactly.

If you have a skill (let’s say Website Development) that you think might be useful for some other people or companies then you can make “sell” it to them.

Fiverr is a platform for freelancers that is wide and growing exponentially nowadays. So if you put you skill on fiverr and a company/person requires your skill then he will pay you for it.

I have seen many examples of people making $200k+ annually with this.

4. Dropshipping:

Dropshipping has been a popular way to earn money since amazon has set new records. In dropshipping you make an online store which sells a product from a buyer to seller. The biggest advantage of dropshipping is that you don’t need any inventory or warehouse of your own. You even don’t need your own product.

You can create your own store with Shopify and import products from Oberlo. All the process will cost you like 100$ maximum. After that you can make a budget for marketing and then its bread and butter! Don’t worry I am going to make an whole series of articles on steps for dropshipping.

If you select the right product and advertise it well then you can get minimum of $100k per month!

5. Domain flipping:

Well it is just like it sounds! You have to buy domains that are catchy ( And you think are most searchable across web, and sell them at higher price at GoDaddy Auctions, Squadhelp, etc.

The method is simple. Think of some catchy creative respelling ( like skool) or some blend of a two words (like Shoegasm) and check whether is is available online or not.

If it is then buy it and create an auction in any of the domain selling websites for at least 8-10x of your buying price. Trust me if it is swell then it will sell!

Although domain flipping business maybe risky sometimes as you don’t know how much time you have to keep the domain before it can sell. But if you already have a good capital and VOCABULARY then you can for sure make it regular thing.

I have seen people make almost $100-200k annually by just domain flipping! So you can try on this one too.

6. YouTube:

And here it is! The secret weapon of every self-employed person out there. YouTube is one of the great content sharing platform and if you have the right content then its not just your lucky day but also an entire lucky life.

You are allowed to post almost anything on YouTube, except you know what…

But just make sure that the content you are making is unique and catchy so that it can earn you some

YouTube money via advertisements.
