Students have to pay for tuition, apartment rent, food and many other things.
There are a lot of costs to keep up with.
But in this post, I will highlight many ideas on how to make money as a university student.
These are some easy ways to make money from home all you need for these to work an internet connection and a computer.
Most of these sites are free so you can earn money without investment.
Make Money Online as a College Student
1) Make a Passive Income Every Month Blogging
Â
Blogging is reliable not only to cover your expenses but also to live the lifestyle you have always dreamt about.
Blogging is not hard it’s easy indeed you need to give it time and do it right.
The best part about blogging is that you don’t have to be an expert, all you need is.
- A Passion: what is your passion? Do you like Fishing? Football? Whatever you like can be turned into a blog that generates passive income.
- Â Hard work & patience: Â Yes, you are not going to make money with no hard work, blogging is slow it takes time to see the income rolling in.
If you want to start a successful website Wealthy Affiliate will help you with that
Here’s what Wealthy Affiliate will teach you.
Â
2) Take Online Surveys
Surveys are not as rewarding as blogging but they can bring in some extra cash if you join the right reward sites
In most Reward and survey sites you only need to do some simple tasks like taking surveys and watching videos
There are many survey and GPT sites that you can join to earn easy money online
Here are some of the best survey/reward sites:
Here’s a list of the best reward sites
 3) Make Money Listening to Music With MusicxRay
Music Xray is basically a site where musicians are looking for exposure pay people to listen to their music.
The musicians and artists want feedback for their music.
They use this site to upload their stuff, they need to pay a fee in order to do that obviously.
And a slice of that fee goes to your pockets if you listen to a song for only 30 seconds and click on whether you like it or not buttons, for every song you listen to, you get 10 cents.
If there were many artists you would make $12 an hour, for now, there are few artists and musicians, but surely the site will be well known in the future.
But you can make $40 a month with it (or maybe less) even though the site does not pay well.
I still wanted to share it with you, since you only have to listen to a few songs 30 seconds each and get paid.
Once you register on the site with your email, they will send you songs whenever they are available in your email inbox, so whenever you get a song in your inbox listen to it and you will earn some cash.

3) Get Paid to Shorten Links With Adfly
This is another idea to make few bucks every month, the only difference between this one and Music x-ray is the fact that with adfly you can earn a good amount of money but you need to spend too much time.
Being a student you don’t want to spend too much time sharing links.
Here’s how Adfly works, the advertisers pay to make people visit their websites or products on adfly and this one will pay you to help them promote the products of those advertisers.
You basically get $5 for every 1,000 people that click on your link, to get your link you need to register on their site and get your own that you should promote.
If you have a blog you can get banners and ads.
This is a good method to earn few bucks online.
I suggest to create a facebook page or a blog, or simply send your adfly link to your friends or by email, the more you spread your links, the more the possibility of people will click on them Join Adfly by clicking here
 4) Get Paid to Answer Questions with Just Answers
With JustAnswers, you can really make good money.
But you need to be an expert on a topic or know a lot about it and can help people with it.
You as a university student, surely you have picked up a course that you like, and now you know a lot about it.
For example, you study languages (like I do) you can give answers to people that ask questions related to languages and get paid If your answer is accepted you will get anywhere from $5 to $25 per answer and cash out through PayPal.

5) Make Money Writing Articles Online
You know blog masters or people that have websites with lots of traffic earn lots of money every month from their websites.
So they are willing to pay you well to write content for them below you will find the best sites that pay you for every post:
- HireWriters: This is an awesome site where you get paid to write articles, the best part about Hirewriters is you can make money even if you are not an experienced writer, read my Hirewriters review
- TopTenz:Â Can you write articles about travel, entertainment, general knowledge or science? If yes you can make $100 for every article if you want to join and read their guidelines.Â

How to Make Money as a University Student: Conclusion
All the sites mentioned in this post are good and you can make money online for free but I recommend you to start a website because it’s definitely the most reliable way to earn a solid income online.
I hope you enjoyed this post if you have any question or need help with anything you can leave a comment below I will be more than happy to help you out.
I see you’ve highlighted some really cool concepts here for uni students to make money online. 🙂
I’m also a member of Adfly but I find the best way to earn some money from the program is to stand on the other side of the fence and be an advertiser because for only $5 you can generate 5 Thousand visitors to any Affiliate offer very quickly.
Just Answers seems like a very effective way too, and the more time you put into answering questions, the more you’ll get back from the site.
However, blogging is a new concept for me but I can see how students could turn it into a full-time income for not just paying off their student debts but to create a totally different lifestyle.
I’ll read your WA review for sure. 🙂

Hi Neil, I think blogging is the best way for students to make regular income from home, the other options are good as well but blogging and Affiliate Marketing are the best, thanks for stopping by Neil 🙂
Wow great information on making money in college. Most college students have to write papers for school anyways so i think that article writing would be the best option for college students. Which article writing site do you suggest for making the most money out of or which site approves articles the best?
I think the easiest way to earn money from your writing is HireWriters most of the other sites reject and it’s difficult to get your posts approved.
While looking through your site I came across this page and I think this would be very helpful for my older son who is currently in college and needs a means of getting additional income. He loves music and your idea of MusicXray was a possibility, but realized from your review that it doesn’t pay very well. My son is an English/Writing major and could be interested in your suggestions for blogging for earning money – I’m interested in blogging myself and so I will forward this info on to him. Thanks for this!
Glad I could offer something useful for you and your son Randy, I’m still a member of MusicXray and trust me when I first registered I listened to two songs and earned 20 cents, still waiting for songs since then.
I have written a review about HireWriters, it’s a good company that pays you to write and i’ts not hard to get your articles approved.
Good ideas for students to make some cash online instead of working as waiter or cleaner which were the only options when I went to the college 🙂
Yeah me before joining WA those part time jobs were how I used to make money, thanks a lot for stopping by Xena
Hi Great Site!
The information is very informative. I never knew of those other sites like MusicxRay or adfly, very interesting. I’m building my site with Wealth Affiliate. I think it’s one of the best places to build your online business.
Surely WealthAffiliate is a great community, hope you will join those sites that you have discovered and let me know how are they, thanks for stopping by!
Wow, these are great resources to gain some extra money, I appreciate the links. I’ve never heard of MusicxRay or adfly, but I’d be interested to give them a go. However, the best option (and most promising) really looks to be Wealthy Affiliate. I like that it’s free and has a community to help support you. It looks like a great opportunity. Thanks!
You are welcome Maggie, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I appreciate it!
Some great options here for students to earn a bit of cash – and everyone else!!!
I quite like the idea of the College Humor site – I suppose if you’re lucky enough to have a good sense of humor you could really do quite well there!
Are there any ‘big earners’ on that platform?
Yes, many writers with good sense of humour make big bucks on the site, so students and any one with good sense of humor will make a lot of money from this site! Thanks for stopping by Chris!
Cheers
