Guide to Start Blogging

What ? You want to write Blog?... Wow ! Then you’re on right track ! Seriously, Blogging is good way to start writing and sharing your ideas and talent to viewers. Blogging is a bit confusing task specially for beginners as they have no idea about writing a blog. It can 1-2 month for totally understanding the criteria of blogging. As before writing a blog one search everything about Google and it happened to me as well.

It took me around 4-5 blogs and lot of  “ write and trash” work in order to learn the basics and still I am learning..                        
                                                                                                      
There’s no need of any specialization or language to start a blog. It’s a completely a free task profession if you want to do. There are many sites likes Wordpress and Blogger which provide a good platform for the beginners as they provide various editing concepts as well as their homepage is self guiding , once you enter in blogging you will understand everything.
Why I said “Blogging is a good platform”  then you must see this article  “ 7 reasons to start blogging”.


Choose your Base of Blog:

Since its your beginning so make sure what you are going to write or choose anything which you are passionate about like technology, food, adventure, money, politics etc. Setting up your blog topic will be the biggest hurdle in blogging and once you cross this hurdle you will get the idea itself about writing.

But, if you have no idea about what to write then, Relax ! you can start it up with everything about you like your hobbies , your work , your passion and ofcourse if you have wide knowledge about your specific passion or if you are in that from long time then you can start sharing your experience by writing any niche/topic  about it.
I’ve written some blogs , you can take idea from here:



Choose your platform:

Choosing your platform is very important! Wordpress and blogger ( a google product) are the two free platforms where you can begin your talent. These sites have variety of themes and layouts as well their design sense is quite good , so you can choose any of one according to your wish.

Choose wisely:

Wordpress compared to blogger is much better site as many blogs have been written using wordpress. As far as blogger is concerned, blogger does have different themes and design but not as such wordpress, but blogger is reliable as its google products and you will get many other analytics and adsense product where you can easily interconnect them to get viewers feed on page.

Domain:

Domain choosing is quite tricky task as you have to choose such a topic which is eye catching to users and short.

Big and difficult names are difficult to remember, even if you make domain, its not actually yours as blogger and wordpress will both provide subdomain will seem like www.xyz.blogspot.com or www.xyz.wordpress.com , so it’s not actually your blog.

Note: If you want to purchase your own custom domain then you need to buy domain from blogger or wordpress on $10/year cost, which is quite cool.

Themes/Layouts:

Both the sites provide good quality range of themes by which you can design your blog and you can choose categories according to your blog topic.
Layouts are much good if I talk about blogger as compared to wordpress. But , that’s your choice. The more you setup your layout by feeding post link, logo design label etc. more the chances will stay hang up.

Making money/ Earnings:

From my experience if I say, earning money will not be easy task as far as you are good writer and your blogs are eye-catching.

From blogging, you can’t make million or thousand dollars in a month because it takes time to reach there also, the cons of these sites are they will cut-off 50% of your earnings.

So, in start you can start writing in learning manner , once you get a hold of it then you can buy your custom domain from blogger or wordpress only which cost around $10/year as mentioned above, so whatever you make will be yours plus you get more viewers on custom domain.

Publish Everywhere:

Once you have made your blog, its time to publish it to viewers. There are many social sites where you can post your blogs like;


·         Twitter

·         Pinterest

·         Stumbleupon

·         Google+

·         Tumblr

The another thing you can do is connecting and making social contact and other bloggers on different websites and following them also do follow different ideas and upcoming features of websites and add them to your blog, because the more you share, the more people will see it.

13 Essential ways to Save your Money


How to save money :

Well , This mathematical calculation runs everyday in our life and every single person is worried that how he/she can manage his/her account in order to save sums of money.
So, here are some mind blowing incredible ways which can surely bring the smile on your face by managing your budget. If follow these ideas then I surely believe that your entire family or workers would appreciate it.

Mind your calculation:

            Always keep track of your budget, if you forget maintaining then dear you may miscalculate your order of spending money.
For this you first need to fix some budget of your monthly earning, by this you can get idea how much you are spending per month.

Maintain Credit card/A.t.m.

        Keep track of record of items you’ve purchased, for this you can use your credit card/A.T.M, cheques etc. which shows your expenditure data.
In this way you can get the idea of amount you need always to reallocate in Savings account.


Say “No” to expensive items

          Makeup your mind that you will not buy any expensive item each month , infact try to buy any expensive item once in three month whenever possible. This could lead to more savings which you did in 2 months. And you won’t have any regrets and you managed to sum up savings.


Setup your list

        Make a order of list of what you buy or spend on categories like food, movie, games, luxury items, clothing. This will improvise the habit of your buying any non-required item. Also, it will added advantage as whatsoever you saved avoiding such items will be credited to your “thank god “ account . J



Bargain ! Bargain !

         Always bargain ! Haha , bargaining may be difficult but yes ! it is the shortest and easiest way to find savings and small bargain of $ 10 of 10 times may add you $ 100 .. isn’t it cool !
z


Sale ! Sale ! Sale !

         Try to buy only those items or buy items when the market cost is low and there is huge “Off” on items , this sale may would play double bonanza for you as you are getting the item and on other hand your saved money.



Avoid Misuse of Calls

         In 21st century , mobiles, internet, are gasping large amount of money from your savings secretly. In order to meet savings requirement buy only those data/calls plans which fits for you and avoid misusing such plans. The benefit of it will be that this would avoid you to expending large money on plans and please please ! do not surf unecessary  or talk whole day ( especially womens ).


Simple and short

          Keep it simple and short ! don’t fix your yearly budget by dreaming $200/year infact what you can do is saving small bucks of $20/month. By this,you won’t have to think much and it will be easy to handle, and see (12x$20=$240), cool !



Fix it ! Deposit

         Fix it hard ,  fixed deposits are much added advantage in your savings account,for this you need to save your savings in your bank or whichever bank who gives more annual interest on amount. Fixed deposits can be made of 6-month plan or yearly plan whichever suits you best. Let us consider you make F.D. of $1000 at $4% so by yearly plan you get $40. Though, it is slow but as amount increases ,sum increases and why not choose, at least you are making several dollars once a year for no reason :P



Emergency Backup plan

       Start your life insurance policy, these policy will bring great advantage when you are in die hard situation as these policies are for 2 years or more but depositing money may bring good return with annual premium, whenever required.


Hey ! taxi..

       Try to take public transport as much as possible rather driving by your own vehicle as the fare you will pay for 10km is likely equal to fare you can travel 30km by your own car. So this will bring a huge advantage to your monthly savings. So cab riding, metro riding, rickshaw riding would be perfecto !


Cheap airfares

       If you are travelling to some other country or city by airways then best thing here you can do is to select those flights which are giving cheap fare on ride or you can reserve your tickets 3 or more months before travelling. As in peak time the rates are very high. This strategy will bring huge amount of savings in your Balance.


Stay Close !

       If you are a businessman/shop owner then best thing here is try living near or somewhere around your workplace as it can save the time as well transport fare. Double Bonanza right..?

35+ amazing ways to make money online

  1. No-risk matched betting

    Hands down the quickest way to make a lot of money (well, without breaking the law). Lots of students have genuinely made £100s from this technique. It’s completely legal, risk free, tax free, and anyone can do it.
    free bets from matched betting
    It works by taking advantage of free bets regularly offered by betting sites (such as PaddyPower.com) through ‘matching’ them at a betting exchange. Matched betting eliminates the risk (you are betting both forand against a certain outcome).
    This leaves you being able to squeeze out the free bet, which can be as much as £200! Multiply this by how many betting sites there are and you can quite easily come away with a profit of a few hundred pounds.
    Owen walks you through how to make your first £15 profit (using a real life example) in this gem of a guide to matched betting. If you know of any better way to make £30/hr sitting at home, please let us know!
  2. Online surveys

    Searching on a laptopAn increasingly popular way for students to make money is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. Research companies are always recruiting new members to answer surveys and test new products.
    For a few minutes of form filling, you can make a couple of quid which is paid as cash or in rewards. You can make up to £3 for some surveys!
    Also sign up for Swagbucks.com which rewards you for surveys as well as simply surfing the web, watching videos and playing games.
    Update: See our new full guide to the best paid online surveys!
  3. Paid for searching the web

    Interested in earning cash for doing what you already do online? This has to be one of the easiest methods of making money online without really any effort or change in your behavior.
    This innovative idea by Qmee.com rewards you for searching in Google, Bing or Yahoo. You just install a simple add-on to your browser and when you conduct a search there may be a few sponsored results alongside your normal search.
    qmee paid search
    Each Qmee result has a cash reward attached – if you are interested in it simply click on it and collect your reward.
    The best thing is there is no minimum to cashout – our first one was just 72p wired to our Paypal account. You also have the option to donate it to charity.
    Sign up now for free and start earning from your own searches! Click here to start.
  4. Social Investment Networks

    The historically hard-to-break world of investing in stock markets and currencies has been cracked wide open. Today there is no need to be a fat cat or fund the yachts of Wolf of Wall Street style stock brokers. You can do it all yourself with the help of free online market trading platforms.
    Having spent many hours researching this new opportunity, I’ve been experimenting with eToro.com which has over 4 million users worldwide. It was recently featured in the BBC 2 documentary “Traders: Millions by the Minute” and the Financial Times.
    etoro trading
    One of the best things on eToro is the CopyTrader feature. This lets you literally see, follow and copy the investments of other top performing traders. There’s also lots of training material and videos to help you out, and it’s free to create an account and use.
    Start trading with a reasonable deposit and learn the ropes slowly. I think $200 is a good amount to get the most out of the learning curve by trying out a few different markets. If nothing else you’ll learn a great deal about various investments and industries.
    Warning: trading can be volatile and you can lose money, so don’t throw your life savings into it!
  5. Mobile phone recycling

    Sell My MobileSee how much you can get for your old mobile phone using our in-housemobile phone price comparisontool! Maybe ask your parents if they have any lying around too.
    You can get some good money and help the environment by recycling mobile phones with certain companies listed on the comparison tool. Most phones are shipped off to Asia to be dismantled and we know of at least one student who received a £120 cheque in return.
  6. ‘Get Paid To’ sites

    swagbucksSimilar to making money from online surveys, GPT sites reward you in cash and vouchers for completing various offers or activities online.
    The most popular sites today are Toluna,Swagbucks.comInboxPounds andPaidOffers.
    Exciting update! We’ll soon be launching our own GPT service for our readers. Invites will be limited and UK only, please join our mailing list if you’re interested in hearing once it’s live:
  7. The ‘Disney Vault’ secret

    To keep demand high across generations, Disney Studios carefully restrict the supply of some home release classics. They are locked away in the ‘vault’ for 8-10 years before being released for a short unspecified time.
    Buy them in this window at normal retail price and you can turn a nice profit when they go off sale for another decade or so.
    disney vaultFor example, in 2011 you could buy Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray 3D for just £24.99. In just a couple of years it’s now on Amazon for a staggering £74.99!
    Importantly, not all Disney releases are subject to the vault and only the true most popular classics will maintain such demand.
    Right now there are just 2 titles out of the vault which I would recommend snapping up. They are Bambi Diamond Edition Blu-ray for just £13.50 and Cinderella Diamond Edition Blu-ray for £14.
  8. Start your own website

    mark zuckerberg facebookIf you’ve ever seen the film “The Social Network” then you’ve most likely had your brain spinning as to what website you can start-up to make you billions.
    And of course there are lots of stories out there about successful students who have started a site while at university, or even bought a domain name and later sold it for 1000s.
    In fact, Save the Student is one such example of a website started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and successful enterprise.
    Read Owen’s 4-step guide to setting up a website if you’re interested in finding out more. It’s really not that difficult to get started and there are plenty of opportunities to make money online.
  9. Write and publish a Kindle eBook

    If students are good at anything, it’s researching and writing. With theAmazon Kindle storeanyone can publish an eBook and make money.
    And the Kindle app is now available on almost any device (laptops, iPads, smartphones and yes, Kindles) so your global market is huge!
    List your book for £1.49 – £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal.
    kindle ebooks
    The key to success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Simply bundling information you have researched and complied on a common problem (eg. ‘secrets’ to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook) justifies someone spending a few quid on it.
    Another big tip is to have a great cover designed so it stands out, and once your book is live on the Kindle store (approval takes less than 48 hours) it’s really important to get some reviews so it shows up higher in results. Encourage readers to leave an honest review at the end of your book.
    The best thing about this lucrative idea is that once you’ve invested the time (say 20 hours), you’ll earn a passive income for years to come! For a step-by-step guide to publishing and earning with eBooks, see “How to write a nonfiction eBook in 21 days“.
  10. Affiliate marketing

    If you’ve got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.
    Affiliate Window logo
    Sign up to an affiliate network such as Affiliate Window, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your link you’ll make a nice commission.
    To take it a step further, set up a website (read our guide) or a topical Facebook page and invite all your friends to join it and post your affiliate offers on there.
  11. Review music for money

    music reviewIf you love music, make it your business by reviewing unsigned bands and artists for cash. I know… we couldn’t believe it either.
    It can take a while to build up your reputation but some users of the site have said that they have earned £40 a month. This may not sound like much but if it’s something you enjoy then it shouldn’t be hard work and is another thing for your CV. Money you earn will be in $US but anyone can sign up and review.
    To get started, head over to Slicethepie now or read our quick guide for more info.
  12. Competitions

    Entering competitions of course comes with no guarantees, but there is a growing community of so-called ‘compers’ in the UK consistently making up to £50,000 a year through all sorts of competitions.
    Types of competitions available to enter range from simple registration forms and Facebook page liking to answering questions correctly over the phone to being a TV game show contestant. Imagine you made it ontoDeal or No Deal instead of just watching it!
    Start by entering our very own monthly student competition (Like our Facebook page to see when our next one is)!
    competitions
    Then head to our active competitions page to enter other free competitions that we have found. Just note that some of these sites may send you spam so use an alias email address and opt-out of as many of the offers as possible.
    For loads more tips on achieving success and making money from competitions, read our guide to entering competitions.
  13. Claim tax back

    Many students work part-time or during the summer months, and others will be on placements or paid internships. More often than not, if you are a student working during the year, you will be overpaying income tax.
    Why? Simply because few students reach the personal tax-free income allowance each year but are put on an emergency basic tax-code by their employers meaning tax is being paid when it shouldn’t be.
    Click to use the Tax refund calculator
    Use our student tax-back service to help you reclaim any tax you should not have paid. Just enter your details in the calculator here to work out what you may be owed. Otherwise for more information read our guide on claiming tax back here.
  14. Get cashback when shopping

    Our Quidco Cashback
    I earned this much in 2 years
    This is not only a way to make money but also to save money as a student. If you look at it in a different way then you are making money with every purchase you would have made anyway, whether it be 10% or 0.5% cashback.
    There are a number of cashback sites out there which pay you the commission they otherwise would have earned.
    We recommend signing up with both Top Cashback and Quidco.comwhich are free and offer the best selection of retailers and exclusives.
  15. A part-time job

    bar jobsA part-time job is the obvious first choice, opted for by most students looking to supplement their student loan. It provides a pretty steady flow of income and can enable you to gain valuable work experience.
    However, depending on where you live, jobs are not always easy to find. Check local classifieds, our student job searchstudent job websites and your university careers service for vacancies.
    It’s also worth signing up with the Graduate Recruitment Bureau, a free service which will match you with both part-time jobs or graduate opportunities.
    Read our guide to finding a part-time job whilst studying for more tips.
  16. Gigs on Fiverr

    Fiverr pranksFiverr is now the world’s largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as ‘gigs’).
    What you offer could be absolutely anything, from writing and translating,social media postingplaying pranksand teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people all around the world!
    The default price is $5 (hence Fiverr..), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money. Whilst it might not seem like much, it can quickly add up and there are plenty of examples of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimises the time spent on each gig.
    But there is another way to profit even more from Fiverr for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere. For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Elance or even local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it’s repeatable!
    If you’re not interested in selling at all there’s SO much good stuff you can get done for yourself. Have a browse and get inspired!
  17. Sell second-hand course books

    One great way to make money is to buy other students’ text books at the end of the year, and then sell them just after freshers’ week – when the new intake of students know that they need them!
    You can either advertise on campus or list them online very easily onAmazon.co.uk Books Trade-In (just bear in mind they take a commission on books sold).
    For more tips on selling items online click here.
  18. Become an Amazon ‘Mechanical Turk’

    Don’t ask us what this means, all we know is that it’s an easy way to make fast cash from your sofa. The concept is based on ‘internet crowd-sourcing’ where businesses advertise specific, scalable tasks they need completing quickly.
    mechanical turk
    There are a variety of tasks (known as HITS), but most commonly they involve mindless data entry or form filling. You are rewarded in cash (though $USD) for the work you do, and you can choose for what and when you work. Give it a go [Update: Currently US signups only, tryClickWorker].
  19. Buy and sell domain names

    domain-for-saleA domain name is just a website address (eg. ‘savethestudent.org’ or ‘mysite.co.uk’) and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc).
    They cost as little as £1.99 to register with 123-reg.co.uk or GoDaddy.com yet premium domain names can fetch £1,000s if not millions when sold on. In 2007 VacationRentals.com went for a cool $35m!
    Now you’re probably not going to come across anything like that, but you can still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like DomainLore.
  20. Be an extra

    Do you fancy yourself as a budding young actor or just that person that walks past in the background shot of an episode of Eastenders? It could be you if you apply to be an extra.
    The pay isn’t bad either – £60-80 a day on average, and you hardly have to do anything!
    You can apply at Be On Screen for a number of opportunities or 2020 casting is another agency (just know they take a cut from your earnings).
  21. Sell all your old CDs, games and movies

    cds and dvdsIf you are looking to make a very quick buck, then selling your old bits and bobs that are cluttering up your room is a good idea.
    The best thing about it is that you can rip all the songs and films onto your laptop or external hard drive before selling them. This means that you are only really selling the plastic and artwork!
    You can earn anything from 10p to £20 per item, and the earnings can really add up if you have a large collection. Whilst you’re at it, see if your parents have any ‘clutter’ they’d be happy to see the back of.
    You can also sell almost anything for free on Amazon Trade-In orPreloved and sites like MusicMagpie will pay you instantly for sending in unwanted items.
    For more tips and places to sell check out our guide on selling DVDs, CDs and games.
  22. Sell on your education!

    Become a tutor to local GCSE or A-level students (find out more about tutoring here). There are now a few online tutor sites too, so you can go also global without too much hassle.
    graduate_studentYou may feel as if you aren’t qualified to be a tutor, but seeing as you are at university you will most likely have the qualifications to tutor for GCSE or even A-Level. Some parents may feel that their child will react better to a younger tutor, and it can be great experience, so why not give it a go?
    You can advertise on SchoolsTrader or sign up withBright Young Things & UK Tutors. You can expect to earn around £10 an hour. However, make sure you don’t have to do too much tutoring around your exams!
  23. Sell your photos

    If you think you’ve got a good shot and a little creativity, try uploading your photographs for free to stock websites. A good starting point isFotolia or istockphoto.
    Make more money selling photo subjects that people are demanding, and there’s a great resource to find this out here. It might be a good idea to test them out in print first yourself (get free photo prints here).
  24. Rent out your car parking space

    saving petrol and saving moneySome student accommodation comes with a drive or garage. If you aren’t using your parking space and you live in a busy area then you might be in luck. There are plenty of people that may work in the city centre and are fed up of paying through the roof for daily parking.
    Advertise your space on GumtreeParkletor Just Park.
  25. Work as a charity collector

    Ok so this job takes a certain kind of person, as you’ll have to take a lot of rejection and be persistent.
    But if you are bubbly, personable and reckon you could sell ice to an Eskimo then this could actually be a great student money making idea. You get paid commission on new sign ups (typically around £20).
    Have a look at Wesser as well as charity websites like Oxfam.
  26. Babysitting

    messy kidAdvertise your services locally. It’s a classic money-maker, and for good reason. You get paid (well) to watch TV and not very much else!
    Be warned that you will need a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check to look after small children, even though some parents may not ask for one. If you are wondering what to charge, then look at local ads but you can expect to be paid over £6 hour even if you aren’t trained in child care. It really is easy money (unless you get stuck with the child from hell!).
  27. Become a freelance interviewer

    Do you have ambitions to take on a career in HR? Do you love asking questions? Believe it or not, there are companies that will ask you to carry out interviews for them and pay you for your time. It couldn’t be simpler.
    You could make £185 a week plus have your travelling costs covered. The downside is that you will have to commit to at least 20 hours a week, so make sure that you have the time! Apply at NatCen.
  28. Mystery shopping

    Be A Mystery Shopper, Its Easy!Becoming a mystery shopper is easier than you think. You can get paid to spend money in shops, usually in the form of a voucher for the shop in question.
    For more info on where to apply check out ourguide to becoming a mystery shopper.
  29. Dog walking

    Dog walking may sound trivial but it’s big business. Just think that as a student you’re likely to have free time during the day when others are out at work and worried about their pets at home.
    You could make around £7 a dog for a 1 hour walk, and it’s also a great way to keep fit. Advertise your services locally with fliers or on classified websites such as Gumtree.
  30. Rent out your house for filming

    filmreelDirectors for TV and film are always on the hunt for houses to film in. For instance, a scene forCoronation Street was recently filmed in the student house one of the Save the Studenteditors used to live in!
    Not only can you make good money but it’s crazy seeing your own place on TV. Start out by looking at film-locations.co.uk.
  31. Rent out your body

    student thinkingOk, ok – this isn’t what you think. “Renting out your body” can go as far as you want it to go. For example we reported on a story a while back about students who are turning to lap dancing to make a quick buck.
    If you are comfortable taking off your kit for a more acceptable cause then why not try life modelling. Sit there in the buff while budding artists capture your every curve (or pokey bits) in frightening detail! Try RAM, a website especially designed for these kind of jobs.
    You could also get involved in clinical drug trials. If this scares you a little then you can find more information here about what’s involved.
    Warning: Do not do anything you are not comfortable with, no matter how desperate you are for money! There has been an unhealthy rise in student prostitution in recent years – do not fall victim to it!
  32. Freelance work

    Perhaps you enjoy writing, managing Facebook pages or doing a little bit of graphic design in your spare time. There are so many freelance jobs out there that require simple skills or just time that someone else might not have.
    And the best things about freelancing is that you can work for clients in the UK and around the world with just an internet connection from home, to your own hours whilst developing valuable skills.
    A great place to start is with the leading freelance site Elance.com. Or try using our student job search to find freelance jobs.
  33. Busking

    Busking studentIf you can sing or dance then this is your time to shine baby! Did you know that Justin Bieber started off busking? That’s right, with a little work you can be as annoying as him.
    There are really no tips for this except choose a good spot with high footfall, make sure you are good and play your heart out. Some buskers in the past have been known to make upwards of £20 hour.
  34. Sell clothes on eBay

    ebay-logoEveryone’s best friend when it comes to getting rid of junk is eBay. Online auctions are a sure-fire way to turn that sleeveless jacket (which came in and out of fashion in a week) into hard cash.
    Some eBay sellers look at trends and try to predict what will be big ahead of the market. If you are good and don’t mind taking a risk then you can buy early in bulk and sell on when the craze hits.
    For lots more tips on selling on eBay read this guide.
  35. Sell your stories and videos

    If you have an interesting story then you could try selling it to the papers. It could be anything from sleeping with a professional footballer to getting caught in a clothes horse!
    One of the Save the Student team was unfortunate enough to have a pigeon fly through and smash their window at university and sold the story to The Sun for a tidy £50.
    You could also film your mates at all times and send it into You’ve Been Framed to net yourself £250 and a few seconds of fame.
  36. Sign up for psychology experiments

    These are the things you may get to your student e-mail inbox from your university or careers service every now and then. They aren’t dangerous and usually don’t require too much effort or time. They tend to compensate you quite well (around £10/hour), and they may even interest you!
    It’s worth bearing in mind that these are different from the medical or body experiments/horror stories that you hear about. There will (hopefully) be no strange probes involved!
  37. YouTube videos

    google-adsense-youtube-logoAccording to recent stats we now watch more videos on YouTube than searches on Google. And with the recently introducedYouTube Partner Program you can now profit from making and uploading videos. You will receive a percentage of the advertising revenue collected per 1,000 views.
    Depending on how successful you are (virality, subscriber base and topic) you can make a lot of money, and there are plenty of stories every week of more and more YouTubers making it their career.
    For more tips read our guide to making money from YouTube.
  38. Network marketing

    the business of the 21st centuryAlso known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), this is a business model that allows you to generate ongoing income in two ways: by making a commission selling products and by recruiting other members who go on to sell. The later allows you to make money from the sales made by those you have recruited.
    Importantly, this is not a pyramid scheme (they are illegal) because there is an end goal which involves a customer buying a product or service of value.
    It’s also not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. You will have to work I’m afraid! However with the growth of social media, network marketing is becoming easier and lots of people are now making a decent living from it.
    This is a serious way of making good money on your own terms and it’s well worth reading up on it. I recommend getting “The Business of the 21st Century” by Robert Kiyosaki.
  39. Source property for wealthy investors

    contents insuranceWe all know how much money there is in property, but on the surface (with house prices as high as they are) you might be thinking this market is off-limits.
    Truth is, lots of people make a great deal of cash simply sourcing suitable properties for wealthy investors who simply have no time.
    The trick is to find properties below market value (BMV) by avoiding estate agents and instead flyering your area with your contact details offering to buy houses. Then approach investors with a no-brainer offer to pass on the details of cut-price property in exchange for a % of the sale value.
    Most cities will have monthly networking events for landlords and property investors. Track these down, sign up, put on your best suit and go along with lots of business cards. Or you could start on LinkedIn or even Twitter to build some initial contacts.
    As you might imagine, this isn’t necessarily a quick way to make money but once you’ve got a few investors in your phone book it can prove to be very lucrative in the long run. If you’re interested, I recommend readingthis book.
  40. Advertise your other skills

    Coke Can artWhat can you do well where others struggle? Fix bikes, computers, write articles, create websites, make cupcakes or fresh lemonade?!
    The key is to be creative and think outside the box. A writer at Save the Student actually made small models out of beer cans and wire and sold them to other students. Great idea with big profits!
There are many other creative ways to make money as a student. With any luck you’ll be on the road to making millions! Please feel free to share your own ideas by leaving a comment below.
