Paper route -  My local newspaper advertises that they will pay you $400 per month to deliver newspapers. I haven’t done a cost-analysis to determine what it would come to per hour, but it’s not too shabby for some part-time work. You’ll be forced to wake up much earlier than the 10 or 11am that you might be used to, but you’ll have to decide if having some extra money is worth losing some sleep.

Mowing Lawns -  I’d be willing to bet that many of you mowed other people’s lawns for your first job when you were a kid. Why not go back to it and do it while in college? I’m not saying that you should start a business and do a ton of lawns, but maybe get to know some people that live near you and see if they’d be willing to pay you to do the work for them. There’s always other students who are renting a house or apartment and are responsible for doing the yardwork, but don’t want to spend the money to get a lawnmower also.

Deliver Phone Books -  This job will NOT be a steady source of income, however, once or twice a year, you can make some extra cash. Phone book companies are always looking for capable people to deliver their phone books to certain neighborhoods or whole towns and cities. This last year, I saw some kids that were delivering them to my apartment complex and they were walking around with a big stack of books in a red wagon. They said they were getting a $100 for doing it. I’m not sure how much work they were doing, but I think this one is worth looking into.

Be a Golf Caddy -  So this one might seem a bit weird, but there can be good money in it. I think your best bet on cashing in on this one would be to find the course that costs the most in your town and figure out a way to hang out in their clubhouse for a while. Then do some schmoozing with the players and see if any of them need some help carrying their clubs. Obviously, you’re going to do much better at this if you actually know something about golf. Give it a shot and maybe you’ll find a guy that will need you once or twice a week and you’ll have some steady income!

Babysitting -  This one probably takes you back to middle or high school, but it can have some good money. Families with kids that I know often have a hard time finding reliable people to watch their children. They often have to use irresponsible teenagers to do it. Although you might not be the most responsible person in the world, you are definitely a step up. I know lots of families that would jump at the chance to have college students watch their kids and even more who already do. I’ve seen people make anywhere from $10 to $30 an hour babysitting.

So there you go! I hope one of these side jobs can help you out. Choose the one that you think will fit you and your schedule the best and go for it!

I wanted to make a quick update about this program. It happens to be one of my favorite ways to make money. Why? Well, mostly because I have to do absolutely nothing to make money with it! All I do is leave my computer on and I make money from it. The exciting news is that the Gomez Peer program is now paying out even more money than they used to!

In addition to the normal money that they paid you before, they have now added a feature where if you leave your computer on and connected to the internet for at least 20 hours in a day, you will be paid an extra 10 cents per day per computer!

Yeah, I know it’s not a ton of money, but I’m now seeing about $5 to $8 per month coming in to my pocket from this program. This is money that I wouldn’t have had otherwise so it’s worth it! You’ll have to decide whether it is worth it for you, but if you leave your computer on all the time anyways, why not get paid for it? I hope you like it! Feel free to post a comment and ask questions if you have them!

You’re basically doing a “recon mission” for the companies. In exchange, you are paid for your time and are often also reimbursed for the purchases you make. You really can’t go wrong with it! You might have to work around particular deadlines, but this should work around your college schedule. This is a great fit for us poor college students!

So where do you start? I think the first thing you’ll want to do is learn all about what this whole mystery shopping thing is about. Take a look at this site or this one. They give some great information to get you started!

Let’s start with that. You go and check those out and I’ll make another post in the next few days to give you more insight into this and what has helped me be successful at it. Stay tuned for more!

That list is straight off their website. There are a ton of different tasks you can complete and the pay and workload varies for each task. By the way it looks, you’re not going to make a ton of money, but I think you can definitely make enough to cover entertainment and recreation costs. It just depends on how much time you can spend and how quick you are with the computer.

As an online juror, you get to serve as a mock juror for a mock trial. You take a look at the evidence and get to cast your verdict. It’s really pretty cool. For your work, you can earn anywhere from $5 to $100 per case depending on the content of the trial.

A couple of sites out there that might work out for you are eJury and TrialJuries.com which both provide this service. Update: eJury has been found to not be a reliable site.

I really can’t guarantee that you’ll be selected as a juror, but I’d say you have a pretty good shot. Once you have been chosen, make sure you do a good job and pay attention to what is going on. I’m guessing it’s easy to earn a reputation (good or bad) while you’re on there, so don’t slack off if you actually want to make some decent money!

So are there any online jurors out there? Are you going to give it a shot? If not, how come? Share in the comments below!

This week I’d like to focus on tutoring. You’re all likely aware that you can get paid for tutoring through your school. Maybe you’ve already tried it, or perhaps it’s just not for you. Why isn’t it? Too much work? Don’t like dealing with other people? Well, what if you didn’t actually have to meet face to face with the person that you were teaching? Would that change your perspective?

Well here’s a perfect opportunity for you then. There are some great websites out there that will pay you to tutor people over the web. Some of the main options out there are e-Tutor, Smarthinking, and Tutor.com.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never actually served as a tutor for one of these companies. I really can’t tell you how much you’re going to make, or which one would be the best for you. You’ll have to take a look at each of the sites and determine which one is the best fit for you.

What do you guys think about the possibility of online tutoring? Is it for you? Do any of you readers have any experience with any of these sites? Can you offer some insight? Leave a comment and share with us all!

So how much can you make? Well, you can make up to $240 per month at the center nearest to me. They allow you to make two donations per week and you can earn up to $60 per week. I think $50 per week is likely more typical around the US. That’s a whole lot of money for what you do. Imagine having an extra $2500+ of income! How sweet would that be? They’re even now giving you the money in the form of a debit card, so you don’t have to deal with cashing checks or anything like that. You go in, you donate plasma, and they add money to your account. It’s that easy!

You basically sit there for about an hour and a half during a process that is very similar to donating blood. The only difference is that you don’t have all the nausea and dizziness that can be associated with donating blood. They put all your red blood cells back in you so you don’t feel those side effects. It’s great! If you can handle donating blood, you can certainly handle doing this.

Go and check out Biolife and see if they have a center near you. They’re located in a ton of different places in every state. Go and make some more money!

So how much are we talking? Well, not a ton to be honest. It just depends on how many computers you have your program running on. I use two computers and I make about a little over $5 every two months. I didn’t have to do anything for it, and that’s a cheese pizza right there. Not great, but not bad either. The limit of how much you can make is $45 per month and there’s a ton of people that get there judging by their “leaderboard” on the site.

My last payment was for $5.80 and the payment was sent directly to my Paypal account. You really don’t have to do anything to make money with it. Just let it run and wait for your money! I’ve now made $42.14 to date through this program! If you decide to join please enter “mlcarls72″ in the referred by field on the application. Thank you and enjoy!
