Repair Cars

The majority of college students who have a car don't know how to make minor repairs on their own or how to deal with sudden situations that might face them. If you do, you're in luck. Consider making a small investment in tools and supplies and then advertise for reasonably-priced onsite repairs and maintenance work like oil changes.

How to Make Money on Youtube

Here's an interesting video we found for making money on Youtube. Enjoy :-)

Time Management

As we all know how students are enthusiast and energetic when it comes to trying and exploring new situations. When students start making extra income through what they enjoy the most such as; cooking, photographing, teaching and drawing, they become more eager to make more and more money. 

Where can they go wrong? Lets keep in mind that those students have other responsibilities like studying, assignments, home duties family obligations. Getting into the "money making" field, it will affect the students time management regarding all the duties and tasks they have. 

My advice to you is, you still have time to become one of those people who have millions in their bank accounts. Take the advantage of being a student but it does not mean that you cannot make money, time management is important. 

Advantages and Disadvantages of Making Money Online

Here is an interesting video highlighting a few points you might consider when trying to earn money online :-)

Shedding light on the darker side of the coin

Talking about the alternative methods of income often engages work from home – it's more  convenient, doesn't involve long hours in traffic in your way to the office plus you can do some of the housework during your “office day”. The big question that arise does it make you more productive, stimulated and motivated or there is a possibility that you are missing something by not seeing your colleagues face to face every day.

I found an interesting article that discusses the decision of Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer to ban “working remotely”. From Yahoo’s point of view working side-by-side is a crucial component of working effectively and efficiently and that the speed and the quality when we work from home “are sacrificed”.

Another opinion that supports Yahoo’s view is given by the Virgin mogul Sir Richard Branson saying that working remote from the office and your coworkers is “a backwards step”.

So what do you think? If you work from home, no matter whether is a part time job or full time job, permanent position or just an alternative way of making additional income, how much time do you actually dedicate on working and how  for much making tea, checking the press or shopping online?

Being a specialist in organising...Why not?!

Professional Organizers may sound weird and most of the people don’t know that such profession exists. And yet why not? Disorder is everywhere you look in offices and homes.

What is a Professional Organizer?

Just like the title suggests, professional organizers sell their organizing services to businesses and homes, helping other people bring order out of chaos.

From what I can tell after a quick research, professional organizing is a “legitimate home-based business opportunity”. You can read about it at CNN Money (there is also a professional organization you can join, called the National Association of Professional Organizers, or NAPO).

The only disadvantage that I found out is that before starting you should be ready to invest… it’s more than $500 for the startup system, but if you are good enough you can compensate that money for a week.

I guess you are thinking what system and the answer is a Professional Organizer Business Complete Startup System

This system advertises itself as a comprehensive guide to getting started in and running your own successful organizing business. If its advertising is true, it does seem to be quite comprehensive...but expensive also, at 549 dollars. However, if you really can up to 60 dollars per hour as a professional organizer, and system can help you get there, a 500 dollar investment is perfectly reasonable.

Campus Brand Manager

How do you do it? Big companies – including Apple, Reckitt Benckiser (maker of Clearasil and Strepsils), banks, and law and accountancy businesses – pay a few students to represent their brand at universities. This usually means putting up posters, running events and talking up the firm to fellow students.

Fred Coppin, 21, a fine arts student at Oxford Brookes, is a student brand manager (SBM) for Red Bull, the energy drink firm: "The work is varied but always fun. It can involve anything from giving away cans to working with the uni's elite athletes. To promote the Red Bull Music Academy Radio, I threw a massive party at my student house, getting the best DJs in town, and inviting all the cool kids on campus. We had to have security on the door as everyone wanted to come."

How much can you make? Law firms and their ilk tend to pay a fixed fee of about £200 a year for promotion work that includes "shout outs" about recruitment opportunities at lectures. Brand managers can expect about £7 an hour, working at least 10 hours a week. "You can work when you want and it's on campus, so it fits around uni," Coppin adds.

Pitfalls? Tough competition for a job. "The most annoying thing is everyone asking if I have vodka to go with the Red Bull I give out."

Sell tickets to school games and events

Is your university hosting a hot off-Broadway play? How about a rival college basketball or football game of the season? Everyone, including those that don’t go to your college, enjoy snagging tickets to games and events that they don’t get first picks at because they aren’t students. Since you get first pick at tickets, why not buy a couple of extra for really hot events and sell them online in Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and Twitter for a small mark-up for your troubles?
