How to make money online as a student
Earning an income as a full-time college student can be a challenge when your academic plate is full. When you’re loaded up with with 18 credits in a semester, taking on even the smallest part-time gig might get in the way of class, studying, homework and other important stuff you can’t go without, like eating and sleeping. Thankfully, taking on a side hustle or two is a way to make money without spreading yourself too thin.

Benefits of the Hustle
  • You build a professional network while in college
  • You gain broader skills and knowledge
  • You get a crash course in market and industry standards
  • It Helps You Get Creative

1. Become an Affiliate Marketer
If you stop to think about it, affiliate marketing is in some ways like starting a business. You have the distinct advantage of not holding inventory and typically don’t need to hire employees, but you’re still setting up an online operation.
Affiliate marketing is when you promote other companies’ products. When someone buys through your affiliate link, you get a commission.

As an affiliate, you’re a salesperson for the company. You help to make a sale, the company rewards you.

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can do it at scale. A typical salesperson only sells products from one company. As an affiliate marketer, you can promote products from many different companies and earn commissions from all of them. 

2. Dropship Products
Drop shipping is an extremely popular business model for new entrepreneurs, due to internet marketing skills far outweighing financial capacity. Since you don’t need to stock or handle the items you are selling, it’s possible to start a drop shipping business with limited funds.

An ecommerce website that operates a drop shipping model purchases the items it sells from a third-party supplier or manufacturer, who then fulfills the order. This not only cuts operational costs, but it also frees up your time to focus all of your efforts on customer acquisition.

3. Monetize Your YouTube Videos
YouTube is the world’s leading video content platform. Proudly owned by Google, YouTube has since moved from the conventional video publication platform to the one where money can be made.

Are you good at shooting videos? You are not shy of the camera and you can speak fluently and help people understand what you are saying? If so, consider creating video content on your YouTube Channel and monetizing the same.


4. Create and Sell Courses Online
The global educational system has now evolved. It is no longer all about learning from the classroom.

Instead, you can take up online course creation as one of the side hustle ideas you can start as a university student.

These courses simply mean that you will create information about specific topics and sell them online in the form of Electronic Books (e-books).

Your online course can also serve as a marketing tool and strengthen connections with your clients. Use your online course to show people what your brand is about. Show them what makes you better than the competition. Build strong relationships and watch how loyalty and advocacy for your course grows.

5. Sell Stock Photos
The easiest way to make your photographs available as stock images for sale is by using a third-party microstock website such as iStockPhoto, Dreamstime, Shutterstock, 123RF, or Getty Images via Flickr.

Selling your photos through a stock agency like this is quick and easy. They do all the marketing for you and thousands of people search for images on these sites every day.

While many photographers get started in selling stock photography by listing their images on a site like this, there are drawbacks to this approach.

You’ll be paying a large commission on each sale for every image that you sell. These fees vary quite a lot between different sites and depending on the restrictions of the licenses you offer. 

6. Become a Blogger
Blogging still pays up to this day. In fact, it is one of the most lucrative side hustles for college students that you can start and begin to make money after some months.As a blogger, you’ll be spending your time writing articles (posts) about things that you find interesting. There will be very little time pressure, and you’ll largely be able to decide the topic of each new thing you write. A successful blogger will also be able to enjoy enthusiastic feedback from countless readers, and active discussion around subjects that make them come alive.


7. Online Freelancing
Across the world, small and large companies have significantly increased their use of freelancers. If you've decided to become a freelancer, the numbers say you're on to something good. Whether your goal is to earn some money on the side or make freelancing a full-time career, you'll need to arm yourself with knowledge, a determination to learn and improve, and lots of patience.


8. Sell On Amazon
Do you have old books, CDs, or DVDs? Then you should consider selling them on Amazon. It's incredibly easy to list your items to sell, and you'd be surprised how much you can get for old stuff sometimes.
If you're a college student looking to sell your old textbooks, you should compare the Amazon prices to your bookstore buyback prices. Amazon is often a better place to sell.


9. Become A Virtual Assistant
Now that many businesses are online, it creates more job openings. One of such lucrative online businesses you can do as a university student is to serve as a virtual assistant.
In case you don’t know what this means, we will explain it the more for you to understand. A Virtual Assistant (VA) is someone that acts as the front or mediator between a business owner and the potential customers and returning clients.
What you will be doing is to handle all the tasks of the business and company you represent.
