Ways for college students to make money online. So, I'm going to be going over 4
ways that you can make money online if you are a college student. 4 ways to
make money online or basic tasks to do basic online tasks and earn anywhere
from, you know, 5 to 10 dollars an hour. And I'm going to show you some of
these things on my computer in just a second.
Second way is e-commerce. You can sell products online. You can sell products
that you have. You can sell other people's products and make money with
e-commerce. And once again, I'll go over all this stuff. I'm going to
show you examples of how to do each one of these on my computer in just a second
here. Number 3 is you could do social media marketing. You're a college student.
You're probably know how to use social media. Probably spending too much freaking time
on social media anyways, okay? You're probably spending too much time to
actually make money online. It's a bad distraction. Don't do it. You're on my
YouTube. It's cool. Subscribe for that. But social media marketing can be your
actual job and you can actually make a lot of money doing it. I do a lot of
social media marketing in my business. I hire tons of agencies and you can be one
of those people working for guys like me. And number 4 is you can do affiliate
marketing. Affiliate marketing, it's more like marketing and salesy, right? You
can sell other people's product on a commission only basis. So in this case, I
mean you could make 0. You could make a big fat zero dollars. Because again, if
you don't sell anything, you don't make any money. But if you do sell stuff, you
could make you know hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of
dollars like me if you know how to do marketing and stuff. So, let's come
over to my computer and I'll show you a few things.
Okay. So, basic tasks or just it's basic work. And I just signed up for the
what place I would suggest and where you'll see the most tasks is called
Amazon Mechanical Turk. Now, keep in mind with any of these methods to make money
online, you will have to put in your personal identifying information, your
social security or whatever it is in your
country. And you'll also have to put in your banking information. In order to get
paid, you're going to need to put in those parts of information. So, don't be
surprised when you're like, "Argh! Amazon's asking for my banking
information!?" It's you know, it's... That's how you get money. Now, as you see here on
my screen, there's all sorts of jobs on here. There's transcription, there's
surveys. Look, here's a survey. Pays you a penny though, okay? So, a lot of these jobs
are just... They aren't going to pay much. Here's it... You could classify kitchen
appliances and get 10 cents. You can find somebody's contact information and
get 5 cents. You aren't going to make a fortune doing jobs on Amazon Mechanical
Turk. But the nice thing is you can get started right away without any
qualifications whatsoever. You just click accept and work right here. And you can
start making money. It's not a lot of money though. It's not a lot of money, not
going to be... If you really push it, you can make $10 an hour. But you have to have
qualifications, you have to do all this stuff. So, it's really just... I don't even
think it's worth it. You know, it's... Again, there's humans all over the world.
It's really pathetic how little value a human with no skills are. But again, you
could try it and tell me how much money you make in the comments. I'd love to
hear you try it for an hour and let me know how much money made on Mechanical
Turk for an hour. Okay. Second way of making money is eBay.
So, you could sell stuff. You could sell your junk or you could sell other
people's junk for money. And if you see on eBay right here at the bottom, it says
"Start selling". Click Start Selling, you set up an account with eBay. And you can
start selling products. You know, you could sell a pillow. You could sell... I
mean, you wouldn't want to sell money but you could sell a mouse or a computer.
Whatever it is, you can sell it. Or if you have stuff in your parents garage,
you can sell that stuff and tell them you'll give them a percentage of what
you sell. That's actually a really great business. And that's how I actually
started out as entrepreneurs. I was selling stuff that I
had on eBay. And I made a few hundred bucks each week. And it was a great. It
was a really easy way to get started online. What I moved to is I started
selling other people's stuff on eBay and making the difference. You know, making a
percentage of the profits. So, that's a great way to get started. I like... You know,
it's just very simple. You know, buy it for $5, sell it at 10. You know,
very simple business model. The third way of making money online is social media
marketing. And you can find jobs on Upwork.com. Upwork.com
has a bunch of stuff where you can do social media marketing. I'm just going to
search it right here. So, as we see here, there's
2,386 jobs. Check that out.
2,386 jobs people looking for social media
marketers. Now, once again, you're not going to become rich doing this. This person
is accepting proposals for 5 to 10 dollars an hour. Here's another person
accepting proposals for less than $5 an hour. Okay. So, most of the
proposals... Again, are less than $5 an hour. Here's a proposal for
10 to 15 dollars an hour. Okay? So again, if you're working online,
they're competitive market spaces. You have to understand you're competing with
everybody in the world. So, it's just competitive by the nature of it. And if
you really want to make big money, you generally have to differentiate yourself
somehow. I'm not going to apply to a job but if I did, let's say I wanted to apply to
this job. This person is looking to build their Instagram followers. And they need
help creating engaging posts. So, what you would do is you'd click on the post.
You'd click submit a proposal. So, this person requires credits to submit a
proposal. The fourth way of making money online if your college student is really
simple. Its affiliate marketing. And affiliate marketing, there's varying
levels. It can get more advanced. And if you're looking to do... To learn more about
affiliate marketing, I have a video series all about how to get started with
affiliate marketing. But I'm going to show you a really basic way right here which
is Amazon Associates. So, if you go to Amazon.
com, you'll see at the bottom, they have an affiliate program. It'll say affiliate
program. And you can earn up to 10% recommending people buy products on
Amazon. And again, if your college student, you can do this. If you're any age, you
can do this. And what you do is you just sign up. You see, "Join now for free". It
says for free. See that? And you sign up and when you're on Amazon, you can
basically recommend any product you want. I'll show you right here. So, let's say I
wanted to make money from recommending this book by Cormac McCarthy called "No
Country for Old Men." Really great book. I just finished. There was a movie based on
this book. If you guys saw the movie with Javier Bardem, amazing movie. Even more
amazing book. This guy is a Gnostic, you know. But you get the idea. But what I
would do is I'd simply go up here and I'd click get link. See, it says Amazon
Associates. So, when you sign up for their affiliate program, you'll get Amazon
Associates and I'll show up site stripe. Click "Get Link", click that. You pulled out.
It will give you a link and all you'd have to do is you'd copy that link and
paste it in social media or pasted and forums or anywhere online. And if people
click that link and buy a product, you are in a commission, okay? So, it's
commission only sales. Now, a better place to make money online is CLICKBAANK. They
pay much higher commissions. But I'm not here to talk about affiliate marketing.
If you want to learn more about affiliate marketing, that's how I make
money. I do have a free training. There's a link in the description. But I hope you
enjoyed this. I hope you learned a lot from this training. Whatever you got out
of it, let me know in the comments. Let me know what you were most interested in
and what you're going to apply in the comments if it's basic tasks. If it's
ecommerce, if it's social media marketing or if it's affiliate marketing. Let me
know what was the most useful to you.
