Student debt is no joke. College students need to get as much bang for their buck as they can. With using as little money as possible, or even being able to gain money fast, a college student can save their money to ensure they have at least a little bit of money to put toward their tuition. There are a few websites that I've stumbled upon that I think every broke college student should know about to help them avoid stress and student debt.

1. Online Survey Websites

GlobalTestMarket.com and Toluna.com are websites that you can take paid surveys on. You go on the website, put in your info and you earn points to be able to achieve prizes, either cash or gift cards. These websites aren't always super fast ways to make money, it may take some time to accumulate points, however it is a very simple way to do so.

2. Freebie Websites

There are so many websites online that you can search through to be able to find free items that can be sent to your front door. Some websites, such as Influenster.com, require you to do product reviews and then they decide if they want you to receive full-sized, free items from them that you must then also review. Other websites, such as MySavings.com, you can search through hundreds of samples, fill out a form and then the samples will be mailed to you. How simple is that? A free sample means something less for you to by, or allows you to not have to blindly buy a new product to try out.

3. Coupon Websites

I think everyone knows what a coupon is, and if you're like me you have way too many of them in your purse. Coupons are very helpful ways to be able to get the things you want at a much cheaper price. Coupons can be found in stores or in sales papers, but they can be more easily accessed online. These websites can provide printable receipts to bring to the store, or even online discount codes for websites. Two great websites to find coupons would be Groupon.com and TheKrazyCouponLady.com

4. Student Discount Websites

A really cool thing about being a college student means you get a lot of perks. My favorite perk is student discounts. A website called StudentRate.com gives examples of great steals you can get just for being a student. These range anywhere from fashion discounts to textbook discounts.

5. Money and Budget Managing Websites

For most students, starting out the independent college experience can be very stressful. Not everyone knows how to budget and manage their expenses, so you may need some help in this department. Even though you have already found awesome ways to get a little extra money, you now need to know how to budget it. Mint.com allows you to create budgets, receive alerts on suspicious account charges, get tips on saving money and even get your credit score for free.

6. Job Search Websites

If getting a job in college is something that you need to do then the first step is to start looking for jobs and applying for them. There are various websites online that allow you to select your area and the types of job you are looking for, and then you can search through the jobs listed and apply.
