There are many scams out there so make sure you pay attention to the legitimate online job offers. I'll discuss a few below.You can start writing articles for article directories, such as EzineArticles.com, this directory, and be making good money eventually. You just need to have some consistence and point your resources box at the bottom towards legitimate offers for your readers.
[Online Jobs For College Students]


Data entry jobs are great online jobs for college students because there are many companies that need people to do simple tasks, for them online, such as: entering data online, filling forms, replying to customer emails... Once you get a company that needs these services you need to make sure that you can follow precise instructions and work on the hours you have indicated you will be available. For data entry jobs you may only need a good internet connection and a computer.

If you are looking for online jobs for college students that you can start even without investing any money in them, ghost writing is one of them. This is a great way to earn extra cash fast and not risk anything in the process. There are many companies and people who need writers and if you are passionate for this or you know you can produce excellent work, this is the job you should think of starting! All you need is to do an online search that will help you get an idea of whom you should work with.For you to succeed in this area, consistency is important. Always offer quality work and stick to deadlines. If you can produce quality work, you will be able to attract more customers and even get more work from your existing clients.

If you have some skills, you may use them to your advantage. Freelancing are ideal online jobs for college students. There are online companies that need freelancers who are able and willing to do certain jobs for them. You can become a freelancer in practically any area in life. Whether you are an IT expert, an engineer student, a photographer or you have some experience in a certain area, you may get a job as a freelancer. For you to make it as a freelancer, you must show traits of a reliable, honest, professional and trustworthy person. This is the only way you will build a good name for yourself and make clients look for you.To make sure that you don't get scammed, always check-out any company you wish to do business with or work for with the Better Business Bureau. This will help you avoid losing your money or giving your services to dishonest companies.

Most college students find themselves working part-time to pay for expenses such as books, lab fees, meals, and everyday expenses. Traditionally, the best jobs have been either on-campus jobs such as tutoring and helping out others, or working off-campus at restaurants and other establishments. The problem with off-campus jobs is they are typically evening and weekend jobs, and pretty labor intensive, which leaves you very tired.

What if you could work at home (or in your dorm), work your own hours, and make just as much or more money? Well heck yea! That sounds good doesn't it! A lot of students these days turn to the internet for a way to make a few extra dollars, however there is SOOO much HYPE out there it's hard to determine what's legitimate and what's a scam. The fact is that most are SCAMS, or ridiculously expensive to get into, and not very practical.First, let's realize that any viable online job will require some effort on your part, and there is no such thing as something for nothing. You are not going to "get rich quick". If you see something that says you will make gobs of cash overnight, don't fall for it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Let me explain how I learned about affiliate marketing. I was a stay at home mom. One day my husband lost his job and took another one which was not making ends meet for us. I searched online to find out about possible online jobs for stay at home moms. I was quickly bombarded with a load of 'become a millionaire today' and other get rich quick schemes. Some programs were so ridiculous that I almost gave up. Luckily, I searched on and found a company called Wealthy Affiliates. This program claimed to teach you how to become a successful affiliate marketer. I was thinking, what is an affiliate marketer? Upon further research of Wealthy Affiliates, I learned that an affiliate marketer is someone who basically builds websites to sell products online.

Articles are in high demand on the internet, and there are plenty companies and marketers that will pay you for quality articles. We are talking 300-500 word articles in most cases. You can find business in forums, online ads, and places like AssociatedContent.com and Elance.com. Top writers make upwards of $5000/month, but keep in mind they've been doing it awhile. If you can write quality articles and you are consistent you can probably pull in $1000-$2000 per month after you get going in it.Yes, you can make money doing online surveys. No, it's not going to make you rich. Finding the right survey companies and participating in focus groups is the key. You will find a lot of products that claim to have the best resources for finding quality survey companies, but it's been my experience that you can pretty much find them on your own by doing some research online. Check out forums and blogs related to paid surveys. You can probably pull in $1000/month if you do your homework and at least 3-5 surveys a day.
