Ways to Make Money on a College Campus

Ways to Make Money on a College Campus - With college being so expensive these days' college students are constantly looking for ways to earn some extra money. These ideas are for when students are in school and have a busy schedule. During the summer it is a better idea to get a steady job.

1. Donate plasma- Believe it or not your plasma is worth money. You can usually donate around twice a week and get somewhere in the ballpark of $25 ,give or take based on the center, each time you donate. If you go to a middle sized or larger university you are sure to have one of these clinics nearby.

2. ChaCha- ChaCha is a site that has users answer questions that are sent in via text message. You earn at least $0.10 a question and at high volume times, you will have an endless amount of questions to answer. It takes commitment and speed with finding answers for this to pay well per hours spent, but it is possible to make a decent wage.

3. Find old professors that will pay well to have yard work done. I personally have had a couple of classes where the professor offers an above minimum wage rate to students to do yard work. This is a great way to make some money, and to get to know the person who will be giving you your final grade. You never know it might help your grade.

4. Participate in surveys- There are many paid surveys that are run on campus for research projects. You will have to find them yourself as they will not be well advertised. They usually pay decently for the time commitment and require little work on your part.

5. Tutor- As a college student it is very easy to find people that need to be tutored, whether it is fellow college students, or children from the local community. Get good grades and have a good reputation and you will have no problem landing a gig. These are usually very well paid for the amount of hours that you actually spend.

These ideas are just to get you started. Just keep your eye open and you'll be sure to find something on campus that will pay you. Just make sure you get the word out that are you looking to make some money and you will probably find an opportunity.
