Question Posted Saturday February 28 2015, 5:06 am
Hey everyone im going to college soon and I want to have a little (preferably alot lol) of change in my pocket. I was wondering if anyone knew of legit ways to make money at home. I'm aiming towards surveys...but the few I've tried require me to pay them or they take too much time for too little or nothing (ex: a 25 min survey only got me 0.50) I'm interested in other options. if it helps I use my smartphone and I also have a laptop. Any suggestions are well appreciated thank you in advance!

My advice is to use you phone to stay in touch and use your laptop as a study aid. It's very difficult and time consuming to earn money on the internet.
In order to earn enough money to make the effort worthwhile, you should do as many others, including myself, did and find a job or jobs that will fit into your college schedule. When I was an undergraduate, I delivered newspapers in the early morning, worked in the university bookshop after classes and delivered pizza on the weekends. There's usually a bulletin board somewhere with lodging and employment opportunities posted and you can just also drop in at businesses where you believe a student might be welcome to apply.

As to where to get them, maybe typing for other students? I would check ads in the paper. If you don't mind leaving home/dorm, you can advertise your services for dog walking. that doesnt require much of your time and there are sites on the computer of services offered or wanted where you can post in a local place online and try to get customers that way. If you don't mind washing cars and vacuuming them out, perhaps advertise doing that for the nicer weather, depending on where you live. I wish you the best of luck.
