Online Surveys
They can be a touch time consuming, but if you find the right ones, online survey filling can be a good way to make a quick buck. Make sure you’re using a reputable site and read the fine print before embarking, though! Sites like Toluna and Swagbucks are good places to start.
Enter Some Competitions
There are no guarantees, but competitions are something of a dying art and if you dedicate some time you’ll likely see some payoff. A good tip is to make an exclusively “comping” email address to avoid spam or too many emails.
Tutoring
One valuable asset you have as a student is your current and high level education – so why not sell it? Look for local community Facebook groups and post, advertising your skills and availability.
Sign Up For A Delivery Service
Places like Deliveroo and Uber Eats pay well and allow you to choose your own hours. Local takeaways are often looking for deliveries close to home, too. Sign up for both to maximize your earning opportunities.
Use Ebates
Ebates is a cashback service that allows you to refer yourself via affiliate links. If you do a lot of online shopping, it’s a brilliant way to earn money back on purchases. You get rewards per month, almost like earning money by spending money.
Look For Temp Work
A part time job can be tricky to manage as a student, particularly if your essay schedule is erratic and you just can’t be sure when you’ll have time to commit. Searching for temporary, freelance or cover jobs on usual jobsites can turn up a shorter term, lower commitment gig.
Product Samples
You can sign up online to various sites which let you register for free samples. It’s usually things like skincare or cleaning products, but you can also get food and drink for free too.
Sell On Course Books
Getting rid of your uni books post use is a great way to make some extra cash. Most students will be happy to buy them off your for a slightly reduced rate, and you’ll get rid of stuff you’ll, let’s face it, be unlikely to look at again.
Product Reviews
Signing up for review sites is another quick way to make small amounts of cash without leaving your house. UserTesting.com is a site which will pay around £7 for a review taking about twenty minutes.
Couponing
It gets a bad rep, but being savvy with coupons is a brilliant way to save cash, or get your essentials for next to nothing. Always have a quick search on the internet before you buy anything to see if you’re missing out on a deal.
