Do you have any hobbies, like craftwork, knitting, gardening? If so, you could find a place that sells handmade things for you, or you could sell them yourself. I take cuttings off of certain plants like bushes and trees and root them. If you do enough of these, gardening centers might buy them. Lace-leaf Japanese maples sell for a lot of money, and rooting the cuttings isn't as hard as you think, and doesn't take up a lot of room, either. If you have enough knowledge about something, write an "e-book". Set it up to sell online with a merchant account and everything is done automatically for you... you don't have to have access to a computer every day. When people buy your e-book, it is downloaded to their computer and the money is put right into your bank account. If I can think of any other ways to make money without a computer, I'll be sure to let you know. Good luck! Oh, and welcome to myLot!

Oh, here's something that completely left my brain for awhile! LOL Must be a blonde thing. I am currently in the process of creating a website to sell quality hand-made items. I already have the domain name, Snow Mountain Gems. One of things I will be offering is to sell things that other people make, as long as they have quality. A sock with a knot in it for a dog toy isn't what I consider 'quality'. Jewelry, knitting, crocheting, sewing, any kind of craftwork, etc. is what I'm going for. If you do anything like that, please do let me know and I'll let you know when I'm ready to go online. It won't be long now.

Well, at least you are not looking for what everybody else seems to be looking for: computer jobs! The fact that you are a nursing student tells me that you are a people's person, so I would suggest you do something in that regard to get your extra income. People might not be looking for a trained nurse, but mothers, older people and the handicapped always need somebody to help them and a nurse training and attitude might come in handy in those cases.

Since you did not mention which country are you from, it doesn't listed either in your profile, I will give you some common ways to earn in your excess hours. As a nursing student, you can apply as nursing aide or assistant in hospitals or even in a clinic nearest you. You can also do some babysitting. Teaching children or being a tutor is another option. You can also ask your school if they need students assistant. I am also a working student before and I was a student assistant in our college. Or you can also do the laundry of others or clean their house every weekend. It is now your turn to choose. Good luck!

I think the best way for you to earn online is through freelancing. You can try getting jobs like writing articles and get paid good dollars for it. But of course, this will require some skill and some exames of your work. Perhaps you can establisha a website showcasing your portfolio to make yourself more successful. All other forms of earning require constant internet connection. You can try checking out getafreelancer.com and elance.com. These two are good freelancing websites. Note: You need a paypal ccount for this I believe. You can sign up for a free aount at paypal.com
