I haven't tried this one for so long, but I tried it once only. Most of my colleagues and friends do tutoring. May it be by themselves or through a review center or tutorial service institution. They get to have their extra money by tutoring. It is a nice earning hobby as you got to teach others and also learn at the same time. Also, rates can be good depending on the status of who you are tutoring. Sometimes, free food comes along your way too if the parents of your tutee is quite generous. But you have to set some extra few hours of your precious hours to get going in this endeavor.

This is a good idea. You can teach school students that have difficulties in what you learn in university this way you will gain 3 things; 1) money (of course) 2) You will help a child in need 3) you will ;practice your material (in the basic level, yet it is practicing), which will help you in your own learning as well.

At my school most departments had a tutoring program set up in which a student who already had taken a course and performed well teach students who are struggling. Do you know what topic you want to tutor? Perhaps you can approach that department and see what opportunities they have available. Also, when I tutored SAT Math, I joined an online community in which there were listings of tutors and listings of students requesting tutoring. There I was able to message students who I thought could benefit from my knowledge and students who thought they would be a good fit for me also contacted me. I think it worked out well, and I was very pleased with the progress that my student made. That made me much more happy than getting paid, so I would recommend doing something that has other benefits besides money. It will keep you motivated to continue and it will make you feel as though your work is appreciated.

I write articles online, and use affiliation programs. It is great since I invest in it when I have time. Yet, the money (which isn't the big at first, but gets better as you build your name) keep getting in later as well (i.e. passive income).

@Ixodio Hey, where do you write articles online? Care to share the lead? I am quite interested too, but I hope that the writing schemes are flexible in schedules. Thanks!

I prefer to write for online writing sites. This way I have full control over the content & the payment depends on how much I promote my own work (and how good iy is, of course)

There are hundreds of ways to earn extra money. You can do odd jobs on your neighborhood or find a part time job but if you are looking for online ones, then you made the right choice on signing up in mylot. I suggest to search around in mylot and you will find hundreds of discussions about sites where you can earn online.

Ah, yes, yes. Another way to earn money is to collect the junk of others. I do make a decent amount collecting the recyclables of our home and selling them in junk shops and recycling centers. Decent money can be earned especially with metals, newspapers and plastics. Many people here in our country use this as their means of leaving being scrappers in the trashes looking for such items that can sell. Not only will you be able to earn, you get the pride of helping Mother Earth and partaking in reduce, reuse and recycle activities. Isn't that noble and easy?

Hi, my friend, it seems that more and more students who take their spare time to make extra money online, I think this is a good way for some students to reduce the burden of the home. To be frank, you have already found good place to make extra money, this is mylot, I think you can make good money if you can keep active here. Of course, there are some others programs which can make more, but I don't think they are suitable for you, to be frank, there are some money making programs online which require you make investment, As students, I think you should try to choose some free programs,after all, you don't need to take risk.
