Gumiyo is a great way to sell things too... much cheaper than eBay - bc Gumiyo doesn't charge any up-front fees and they don't take a percentage of the sale... and they will deliver qualified buyers to your cell phone - so you don't have to be stuck in front of a computer all day monitoring your auctions... I found them on facebook UCLA and they were super for me.

An interesting idea, but there're at least a couple of omissions. First, WHICH sites will pay you to blog? Second, what about going into World of Warcraft, or Second Life, and doing things which can earn you dollars?

There's a lot of serendipity, too, so it's not as easy as it sounds. Still, I like encouraging people to think outside the box.

When I attended college, none of these options existed. Nice to know my son will have the opportunity to make money sitting at his computer.

I know quite a few people who blog, (B-and C listers)AND use Adsense...and they make pennies a day. Most of them have real jobs. In order to make money at blogging, you have to have information people want, in order to get the thousands of hits a day you would need to make any money on advert clivk-through. which, in itself, can be a long-term, full-time job.

If you can make loads of cash like this... why attend college in the first place?

Sorry, but the majority of these ideas will make you next to nothing. Playing moola to play your way through college? you'll be making pennies an hour. ReviewMe and PayPerPost - to make thousands you must be the top blogger in a popular field. Digital photography? yeah, maybe if you're good.

Bullshit post.

Ha. Haha. Hahahaha. Ever looked at the average revenue for bloggers based on their blogs? Most of them lose money after paying for someone else to code their page, and paying for the domain name, and paying for hosting fees. Google Adsense has made it easier for ads to bring in money on a website, but it still doesn't add up to much. Not to mention that to get enough traffic to have a successful, money-making blog, you need to have an actual life - and sitting in front of a computer screen all day isn't near interesting enough to get thousands of people reading your blog. Amateur video-makers and photographers are even worse off, given how competitive the market is and how hard it is to get someone to notice you even if you are doing good work. Paid review positions are hard to find and don't pay enough to be worthwhile, although they make for great pocket change. Helping others find jobs is just silly - if the company trusted your recommendation that much, they'd probably want to hire you in the first place. Gaming is a slight possibility, assuming you can set up enough bots to farm enough gold to make a true living. Freelancing is a possibility, but it's not something you want to do long-term, unless you're good enough to start your own company. Not to mention that it's difficult to do freelance work solely online, unless you're a programmer or graphic designer or something similar.

In short? This article is utterly worthless.

There are loads of great places online to make money - don't forget the real world to though. When I was younger it was all about grape picking in France during the summer holidays to earn money!

The big ones are getting a job early as most of the higher paying ones are taken before school starts. But really you can only do so much to earn an extra buck inside of college.

I have a bunch of ways to make college easier and other good college tips at they may not be the frat boy ways of trying to make a quick buck, but they sure help to know some things. http://www.stillundeclared.com/
