Freelancing

Every other student has something extra to offer other than their grades. The magic of freelancing is that someone always needs something done and the opportunities are unlimited. Websites like Fivver and Upwork are examples of freelancing websites that are open to everyone alike. There are hundreds of niches available to sign up.

These jobs don’t require much time and can be done along with your studying schedule easily and they pay well. Plus the more you work and build your profile, the more work comes and you can earn a handsome amount of money from the comfort of your home.

Online tutoring

If you are good at teaching and have people skills, a super-easy online job to do is tutoring. You can find websites that can enroll you as tutors for your favored subject or just ask your classmates or juniors to broadcast your tutoring services among their friends and family. This is the simplest way to earn money without any monetary investments on your part. You only need a fast internet connection and a laptop or a smartphone. Various virtual teaching platforms offer jobs as online tutors such as Coursera or Udemy or tutor.com and they pay quite well for your services. 

Data entry Jobs

Usually done part-time, data entry jobs only require you to have good excel and Microsoft tool skills. Many websites are available on the internet that offers this opportunity. You can earn a decent amount without investing a lot of time or money. However, before you apply to any data entry jobs, remember to check the credibility of the website you’re registering with to make sure it’s legit.

Beta testing for apps and websites

Whenever a new app or website is launched it goes through a period of beta testing where companies and developers hire people who can use the app or website and help find any bugs or problems. All you need to do this job is a working smartphone (updated Android or iOS possibly) or a laptop. You can apply to be a beta tester easily and report back on the features or problems of the app or website you’re testing. You only need some knowledge of what app you’re using and nothing else. Websites like BetaTesting, TryMyUI, or tester works offer these jobs and are easily accessible.

Just avoid any scams or hidden terms or conditions by going through the website thoroughly.

It takes 20 minutes and is a no-stress way to start earning money.

Sell your course notes

You can also earn a good reputation for being good at a certain subject or meeting deadlines or simply just being professional. This job pays well and is very easy.
