College can be very busy between clubs, organizations, classes, friends, and family.
Some people are able to work jobs with school though, but not everyone chooses to do that or is able to.
We all have heard the jokes about how broke college kids are so they just sit in their room eating ramen, but for the most part it is very true. So how do you make money in college among all the other things that you have on your plate?
Well here are 7 ways to make money in college without having to sell a kidney.
1. Tutoring
People need tutors all the time
Tutoring with your school or on your own is fairly easy if there is a subject you feel confident enough to help people in.
Simply make some flyers and online posts advertising your service and people are sure to come your way for help. This is a great way to make some extra cash and actually help people out!
2. Babysitting
Babysitter
Babysitting or being a nany is a good way to get cash quick.
As long as you are comfortable being around kids and feel you are fit for the job, then try babysitting out. Plus yo can get consistent clients sometimes and build up your client base.
Make sure that you are actually qualified to watch the kids though because you need to be ready to help the kids in case of an emergency.
Plus there are apps that help you find babysitting jobs these days so there is always a way to find someone to babysit!
3. Dog walking
Look how fun
You can either start dog walking by yourself or even download an app like Rover or Wag if you live in a big city.
If you are an animal lover and think you can handle taking care of people's pets then give this a try because there are tons of people who want their pet to be taken care of while they are working during the day or on trips over the weekend.
This allows you to make your own schedule and you get to pet some furry friends!
4. Start an online business
Crafts
If you are crafty or good at making something then an online store on something like Etsy is a great idea!
It can allow you to do something you love and to get some money for it.
5. Sell your cloths online
Cloths
If you download an app like Curtsy, Poshmark, or Mercari you can sell cloths and even other items.
Of course they take a percentage of what is earned, but for stuff you are not even using anymore it is a good way to make some extra cash.
If that doesn't seem to be working for you then you can always sell them back to places that take used cloths for a small profit.
6. Music lessons
Best music teacher ever
If you are good at an instrument or singing then teaching others with private lessons is a great way to make money!
Just build up a client base through ads online and you are sure to be booked in no time.
