3 Ways to Make ‘Fast’ Money Online as a Student
Hey Mama, do you have a teen or a first year student who needs to supplement their pocket money?
This post will discuss three ways you can offer your teen or young adult child to their money drama.
How can I make money while I am a student?
On my TikTok platform, I often get students asking me this question. I have rattled off a few options to them in the inbox.
And not feel I might as well create a blog post that will be easier to send off as a link.
An if you are a mom who has a child who is itching to earn money online then you can share this post with him/her.
Let’s get started.
Sell Stock Images
If there is one thing teenagers, and adults, are held captive by is their cellphones. Why not turn that into a way to make fast money online?
You can start by going through your current camera roll.
What pictures do you have that ca be used in different scenarios across the internet?
This can be a picture of unique scenery, it can be a picture of an experience etc.
I would caution against sunset and beach images, for obvious reasons- there are just too many of those out there.
Here are a few stock image platforms you can use:
Head’s up
Make sure that your images are clear and crisp for these platforms. Lighting is important. Go on these platforms and see what type of images are uploaded to get a better sense of how clean your pictures need to be.
Create an Educational YouTube Channel
Pick a subject that you know well and find that people struggle with and create lessons on YouTube.
This can be as simple as using your already existing notes.
On YouTube you can make money through Google Adsense , this will may take some time.
Not as long if you are laser focused on what subject you will go in depth with.
The bonus to creating a channel that helps other learners, is your watch time.
Additional streams of income
More watch time increases your chances of YouTube recommending your videos which leads to more views and subscribers.
Another way to make money through your channel, is to offer studying sprints. You can offer your audience a Live study sprint where you go over material in real time and they have the opportunity to ask questions.
Yet, another way to make money as a student is to offer, digital study templates.
Yaga Consignment Store
University students are on a budget. This is your opportunity to source fashionable items and list them on your Yaga consignment store, or you can run a mini boutique from your room.
If you don’t have the money to source items, you can start with the clothes or items you no longer use.
You can also ask your friends to add to the pile and you share the profit etc.
The beauty with listing your items on a platform like Yaga is that it expands your reach beyond your school and immediate circle.
Bonus Way to Make Money Online as a Student
Share your journey, be honest about what being at University looks and feels like for you. This is not a fast way to make money. It needs consistency, these all do.
But making money from being yourself is the best feelin and the best way to make money without it feeling like work.
Content Ideas
In your content, you can share the tools you use to study. Check if any of the tools you use have affiliate programs, join those programs and make money when someone makes a purchase.
Use your platform to share your stylist and get a commission for every successful recommendation. Offer advertising on your platform and make sure you have a rate card ready for an and all brand deals.
To wrap up!
Mama, it is my hope that you will pass these along to your kids, so they are able to start making real financial changes in their lives. Until next time, I wish you the courage to live the life of your dreams.
Bye, Mama Xx
