Extra Money Secrets for Students
So for the average student, with less savvy, a paper route, delivering pizza, baby sitting, shoveling snow, cutting grass and walking dogs are all job options. You don’t need experience for these jobs and these are good ways to make extra money that shouldn’t interfere with school and homework.
One often ignored secret way to make money for the student is with Paid Focus Groups, not the ones that are advertised online which can or might not be a scam, but the real thing. There is a technique to finding them, which is well taught is Mark Springer’s excellent book “Focus Group Insider Secrets” which details his years of experience doing focus groups and how he learned to play the system a bit. Its all perfectly legal. Advertising agencies just want to pay you to look at their ads, taste and try their products, and give them feedback. As Mark points out, he once got $500.00 for 4 hours on a Sunday from a major airline to review their luxury offerings.
You can also join survey sites. You should really be sure to do some research into the legitimate survey sites so that your personal information is not sold or used in some way that you are not okay with. You can make extra money filling out surveys, however, the going is slow, and you aren’t about to make a fortune in this way. Often the payout is so small per survey it doesn’t make sense for your time.
If you have never tried the focus group route before, give it a try but be sure to read Mark’s book, which for 9.95 is a deal. It also lists group recruiters so you can easily sign up.
You can also make extra money using your computer. Although there are lots of scams out there, there are legitimate ways to make money if you are willing to take the time to find these opportunities.
