Online Jobs For College Students That Don't Cost Much

By Matthew Farrell


The best online jobs for college students mostly involve internet marketing right now. I say that because it's so easy to get started with no startup cost. There are many scams out there so make sure you pay attention to the legitimate online job offers. I'll discuss a few below.You can start writing articles for article directories, such as EzineArticles.com, this directory, and be making good money eventually. You just need to have some consistence and point your resources box at the bottom towards legitimate offers for your readers.

It's really as simple as that....There are a myriad of subjects you can write about. The possibilities are endless when it comes to article marketing. You might ask how you make money? Well they're called affiliate programs and you can get affiliate links for Free from virtually any company that has a website. I'll explain that more later. You can also make money by building a blog, which is very similar to writing articles. Eventually, you'll have a steady stream of customers and they will buy from you over and over if you provide them helpful information on your blog.

There are surveys that pay 10-15 dollars each. Now these are few and far between so there are very few of these online jobs for college students. Also these surveys all require you to download and install products as well as purchasing products. This not only cuts into your profits but it also causes computer issues. Many times it will slow your computer down as well as download viruses onto your computer which is just asking for a disaster.If you have experience in building virtual machines on computers and are an expert at fixing computers then this could be worthwhile however this is not one of the very practical online jobs for college students.

If you provide them valuable information then they are more willing to buy from you. It's really karmic, treat your readers well, and they will treat you well by buying stuff from you. A great way to live and to make money on line is following this simple rule.I just showed you three ways of making money while in college. I feel these are the best online jobs for college students because you can get started with no money and these avenues have been proven to work for many people.

Are you a college student? Would you like some ideas about online jobs for college students? Do you have access to a computer? If you are reading this, than I assume so...wink. It is funny when I think about it because way back in the olden days when I was in college (1994-1998), it was uncommon for students to have computers in their rooms. Some of us did have PCs, but for typing papers only. I laugh out loud when I think that we didn't have access to Google if we needed to look something up. I mean really, we had to go to the library. I went to Virginia Tech, so naturally the library was 5 miles in the snow uphill both ways. And if we got stuck in the snow, its not like we could call for help from our cell phones. Yikes... Sorry.

Anyway, back to the present. I am assuming that unless you live in some far off remote private island with no human inhabitants, that you have access to a computer. I have also concluded that since you are still here that you can read. Well, today is your lucky day! All you need to be successful in affiliate marketing is access to a computer and the ability to read.

Let me explain how I learned about affiliate marketing. I was a stay at home mom. One day my husband lost his job and took another one which was not making ends meet for us. I searched online to find out about possible online jobs for stay at home moms. I was quickly bombarded with a load of 'become a millionaire today' and other get rich quick schemes. Some programs were so ridiculous that I almost gave up. Luckily, I searched on and found a company called Wealthy Affiliates. This program claimed to teach you how to become a successful affiliate marketer. I was thinking, what is an affiliate marketer? Upon further research of Wealthy Affiliates, I learned that an affiliate marketer is someone who basically builds websites to sell products online.

I was still very leery because I didn't know how to build a webpage and I had no products of my own to sell. Well I dug a little deeper and found that Wealthy Affiliates would teach me step by step how to build a website for virtually any product in existence. And I didn't need my own product because virtually every company online wants and needs affiliate marketers to promote their products for them. The reason for this is that it saves that company dollars in advertising. So it is a win win situation. I make money promoting products and the company saves money because I am promoting their product! And the greatest thing is that this is all FREE to me. It costs absolutely nothing to build a website and promote products online.I wish that when I was in college I had an opportunity like affiliate marketing. I would have loved to stay in my PJ's all day pecking away at my computer instead of walking in the snow uphill both ways to the bagel shop I worked at... So, that is why I believe affiliate marketing is the absolutely best online jobs for college students.
