Every Student Can Earn Money Online in 2022
Chapter 1: Earn cash from YouTube
YouTube is a global phenomenon and one of the most visited sites on the planet, which means that there is a chance that you could earn some cash by creating some homemade videos that become an online hit.
Many of us are aware of the videos that go viral and earn large sums of money for the owner by racking up millions of views but even if you don’t manage to hit the big time with your offerings, you can certainly create an income stream if you do it right and give people what they want to see.
Get involved with the YouTube Partner Programme, which lets you earn a percentage of cash from the adverts that run alongside your videos. The sums of money that you can earn can vary quite a bit and are reliant on the number of views you manage to achieve, but with a series of videos running, you could generate a regular income stream.
You need to apply to YouTube in order to become a partner and as long as you already regularly upload clips that attract a reasonable amount of views before you make your application, you stand a good chance of being accepted.
It will cost you about $100 to set up, but you have a reasonable chance of earning upwards of $50 per month once you get established. Some people earn a lot more than that and many of the success stories involve establishing a niche in something you are good at demonstrating or doing, so that you become the go-to person on YouTube and every new video you then post, adds more regular income.
Chapter 2: Get paid to watch videos
If you prefer to get paid to watch videos rather than make them, there are several sites who offer payments or vouchers in return for rating promotional videos and adverts.
Check out the forums for sites like Maximiles and Jingit amongst others, to see how other people find the system is working for them and to try and avoid getting involved in a scheme that is either not very lucrative or doesn’t pay out how you would expect them to.
Rate My Video should serve as a warning. It was very popular and had plenty of members signed up, but closed without warning a while ago. Always keep in contact with other on forums to keep up to date with any developments on sites you are doing work for.
Using Maximiles as an example, they upload new videos every day and you earn points for each one that you view. Watching these quick ads won’t earn you a fortune and might amount to about $250 of vouchers for the year, but getting some money in your Amazon account in the form of a gift voucher, is always a welcome bonus.
Other sites to consider include Swagbucks and Gift Hulk, which offer other ways of making money as well as by watching videos, such as searching the internet, answering online polls and other related web activities.
Chapter 3: Get paid to write
If you have a bit of creative talent and fancy the chance to earn some money for your literary abilities, there are a number of ways in which you can get paid to write online.
Sites like Textbroker, act as a your literary agent so to speak, which means they work as a middleman and take a cut for finding a buyer for your articles or other content. You can expect to earn somewhere between $7 and $50 for each article that gets sold and you may find yourself writing content for adverts, newsletters, website content or blogs about sporting events or topics like finance and home maintenance etc.
Sites such as Constant Content and Textbroker will ask you to submit a short piece as an example of your writing skills and in order for them to assess whether you can accurately construct sentences and use correct grammar.
It may take you a short while to establish a regular flow of writing work to begin with, but if you enjoy writing and have good grammatical standards, you can create a good regular income by being paid to write online.
Another source of income as well is written content, includes data entry, providing product reviews and carrying out web research. Take a look around to find companies such as Clickworker, who have a range of paid jobs on offer that can earn you a regular income.
Be prepared to take a test for any of these companies offering work for writing and remember that regional differences can make a difference when it comes passing the assessment and providing the writing style they are looking for, so don’t be disheartened if you don’t make the grade with first company you apply to.
You might want to take a look at sites like http://www.minterest.org/how-to-make-money-writing-articles/ and http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/how-to-make-money-writing-for-the-web to get some more ideas on who to approach and how to go about writing content that will sell.
Write an e-book
If you have specialist knowledge or think that you could write a book that others might want to read, there is a chance you could earn money by self-publishing.
If you want inspiration, consider that Fifty Shades of Grey actually started out as a self-published Kindle e-book. Whilst you may not be able to emulate the amazing success enjoyed by the author E L James, it is worth remembering that every book that sells, will earn you up to 70% of the list price, which soon adds up to a tidy sum, even if you sell a few hundred copies.
Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing tool is very easy to use and allows you to upload your e-book instantly and without any charge. Your book can cover any subject and if you have specific knowledge about something in particular, you might find that other people will pay to read your opinions and advice on the subject or topic.
