    Full time student here. I started out in college waiting tables and what not and eventually kind of fell into a groove with internet marketing. If you understand how to push traffic to blogs and read up on how Google works, you can make a pretty penny. I managed to put myself through college working from home, as well as buy a house and a fairly decent car.

    If you're interested, computer savvy, and have some time to read and learn, I'll put some information in the spoiler.

    Spoiler: show


    Some sites:
    www.fiverr.com
    www.flippa.com

    Forums:
    http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/
    http://www.warriorforum.com/
    http://www.blackhatplace.com/forum.php

    Read these to learn some methods. Check out the money making forum on bhw and just copy some methods you see. Most are investment free and require basically no effort to get started with. You won't make huge amounts of money, but far better than waiting tables, and you'll get some real world marketing experience.

    You should also learn how google itself works:
    Google's own SEO guide:
    http://static.googleusercontent.com/...rter-guide.pdf

    And some videos on creating backlinks and linkwheeling:
    [Don't buy this dicks software, just a good explanation of what it is.]


    I started this as a college job and its kind of turned into a full time job for me. You can either sell services, or build a site from the ground up and sell it on a website like flippa.com. The last site I sold, I sold for $46,000 after 3 months of work. If you're creative and able to do some research, this is a job that requires really little effort, a blog post or two a day, and posting on digg.com, and if you keep with it, you'll pull down some serious bank.

    TL:DR: blogging

    For a college job, it works, man.

    Just as proof, here is yesterday's work.

    For the record, since I got a pm about my above post, you really should just read the money making section on blackhatworld and absorb what they're saying. Thats how I got started. Learn the ropes and get to work and you can make fairly decent money offering services.

    I don't work during the semester but over breaks I usually do little odds and ends. Like last summer I was a follow truck for oil rigs, fed rabbits, watered plants, and fixed computers. The first is obviously out of the question unless you're in an oilfield heavy state. My friend who is a blackjack dealer at one of those party planning places also does the test/placebo group things for new medicines. I don't suggest this unless you really don't have any allergies, etc. Think he said he gets paid $150-200 a week for that. This past Christmas break I painted pipe fence for $10/hr and now this summer I'm hotshotting (delivering parts) and moving oil rigs for the company I did it for last year. Most of the time it's an easy job as all you do is drive but sometimes they send me out to help work on a rig. Those both pay me $10/hr and I get plenty of hours. Usually the money I make over break lasts me the entire school year. Usually.

    Instead of making a new thread, I was wondering if anyone knew much about investing money? I'm a full time college student as well but I have some decent assets that are just sitting in the bank not being used at all. I figure I'm wasting my time just leaving it in there but I have no clue where to start, I got a number for an investment banker at my local branch but I'm wondering if he'll just tell me to throw it in a CD or something that doesn't sound too appealing. And if it helps, the amount is around 150,000.

    I was about to come in and suggest this. Did you play live or online? To anyone starting out I would recommend playing live. It's pretty easy to learn and develop a good enough strategy to make a living playing live. Online poker is pretty shitty right now if you live in America, and probably will be until it gets regulated.

    I have a whole summer to kill, with retarded amounts of free time beyond that. Thanks for the info.

    If so, build a bitcoin mining farm.
    In my school, if you live in any of the decent dorms, there's a limit, and once you exceed it, you get charged for it. Always ended up getting charged anywhere between $10~70 per semester, depending if all my roommates were home or not, and were wasting power or not. (I lived in a 4 person style apartment. I don't think the regular crappy share a room with another person and share a bathroom with your entire floor type dorms have this kind of limit.)

    Also, I didn't get accepted into the internships that I applied to over the summer, qq

    Just throwing this out there: http://fiverr.com/
    You could probably make more than a few bucks a week on it if you did something prolific like proofreading or something that is in great demand. Haven't tried it myself (yet). Gist is post a thing you'll do for someone for 5 bucks, they pay you for doing it and I guess 1$ goes to the website, 4 goes to you, so...should really call it FourRR but whatever.

    I feel it has to be against their tos or something. Looking through the fun ones is amusing though. I feel like giving one of them five bucks. There's a lot of non American accounts though. Sucks for the europeans when they get paid like €2.60

    As I posted above, Fiverr is a pretty easy way to make some money. Read into some computer services (more specifically, social media and directory submission) for some quick cash. I run several services on Fiverr and can pull in about a thousand a month in extra cash, although, you'll end up establishing lasting customers on fiverr which will pay you more for bulk services off the site. Once you get that, money comes easy. Keep your eye open for some simple tasks that sell frequently, and the "Looking for" section. Establish your connections and contacts, and then move on from Fiverr.

    Thanks Seno, was reading that forum you linked. They suggested making e-books and loading them onto torrent sites. I wrote my first one today, we will see how this goes heh.
