How to make money as a college student

College is a time when you have the zeal and energy to do different things but no money to do them. You are financially dependant on your parents, you don’t want to put extra burden on them but still want to go on that trip with your friends or try out that new pizza place everyone is talking about.

The best way to do the things you want is by becoming financially independent. And to do so you need to put the extra work in what little time you’re left with after attending classes and finishing assignments. So, here we are providing you with some easy and some not-so-easy ways to make money in college.

1. Part-time jobs: Many colleges have on-campus jobs available for students, such as working in the library or as a resident advisor.
2. Freelancing: If you have a skill such as writing, graphic design, or programming, you can offer your services on freelancing websites such as Upwork or Fiverr.
3. Online surveys: Companies are often willing to pay for consumer opinions and insights. You can participate in online surveys and earn money in your spare time.
4. Tutoring: If you excel in a particular subject, you can offer your tutoring services to other students.
5. Selling items online: You can sell items you no longer need on websites such as eBay or Amazon.
6. Starting a small business: Consider starting a small business such as a lawn care service, dog-walking service, or a tutoring service.

It’s important to remember that making money as a college student can take time and effort, but with persistence, you can find a way to earn extra cash.
