Need money for your college education? Or just some extra funds to add to your allowance? You are probably asking, what are the top ways to make money while staying in school at the same time? Here are some answers:

Take up Freelance Writing Jobs
The demand for solid and professionally written articles for online publishing has been on a steady rise since the launch of Google and article marketing. If you take time to search the Internet, you will stumble upon sites that offer a few bucks for a set of articles. The good thing about freelance writing is that you earn according to the amount of effort that you give into it, so that if you turn in assignments quick, you can get more assignments and earn more than the rest. Also, the topics are usually easy and resources abound in the Internet. If you know your way around the world wide web, you will find things to be pretty easy.

Be a Virtual Assistant
The big companies, especially those that market consumer goods, receive a lot of emails from all over the world every day. Ever wonder how they manage their inboxes? Simple: they hire virtual assistants whose job is to open their inboxes, read their emails, and file or sort out the mails according to topic, relevance and urgency. Sounds like a no-brainer? Go for it!

Take Online Surveys
This is where you have to be really careful. While there are legitimate Internet marketing companies that do pay survey respondents, there are others who are only out to pick your brains, get you to give them your personal information, and don’t give you anything in return. If you want to try out earning by taking online surveys, be sure to research on possible websites or marketers that are safe to deal with.

Sell Stuff on Ebay
There are lots of ways to make money on ebay, sell your own stuff or sell other people’s stuff and get commissions out of closed deals. You probably already know how Ebay works. Some of those who have capital to spend find great deals or buy stuff wholesale and resell them on Ebay. Sounds like fun? It sure is.

Do Jury Duty—Virtually
If you think lawyers were born with perfect grandstanding skills, you are totally wrong. They don’t go to court without practicing their spiel. And just how do they do that? They stage mock trials before online jurors, whom they pay an average of $5 to $60 depending on how complicated the case to be heard is.

Be an Online Tutor or Give Webinars
You know things


that others don’t. It could be expertise in MS Excel or in World of Warcraft or flower arrangement what have you. But remember that there will always be someone who will be interested to learn whatever you know. Work up a teaching module and explore how you can get people to sign up for an online course. Then follow through with online marketing tools like email blasts or social networking groups.

These are just a few ways to make money, there are literally thousands of variations and methods that you can use.
