6 Best Side Hustles for Making Money While in College in 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

#1. Experiments <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first side hustle is to participate in an experiment. Not many people know this, but colleges will pay you to participate in their research. Most schools need students to be part of their research teams, but they don\u2019t advertise it because if they do, many students will want to apply, and they don\u2019t need many people to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good part about this is that it doesn\u2019t take a lot of your time. The pay depends on the experiment you will be doing, and for some, your pay will depend on your performance. Experiments are one way you\u2019re going to make money, and college is one of the few times you will be able to do that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Selling notes <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know you may never have considered selling notes as a source of income. In every school, you will always have those students who always skip classes. Your target market will be those who sleep in classes and even those who are too lazy to write notes in classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you have to do is ensure your note is complete and the writing is clear and easy to read. Once your classmates know you make notes for sale, many will deliberately withdraw from classes when they know you have a comprehensive lesson note.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you may go a bit further to summarize the entire semester textbook and sell it, enabling those who cannot wait to go through the entire textbook to prepare for exams. You have to be a good student that attends class and takes notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are always willing to pay for their grades, so if needed, you can create materials and put them up on the school’s Facebook groups and other school platforms and make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Competitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Participating in competitions is the most lucrative thing you can do. Many schools have a bunch of competitions where the team works together to solve problems. The top playing teams always get prizes, which are usually a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people withdraw from things like this because they think it\u2019s too hard and competitive. As a result, not many people participate in some of these competitions, and the chances of winning are not that low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these competitions don’t need people who have superpowers they need people with critical thinking skills, and once you do that, you can realize thousands of dollars from these competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Mystery eating <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What basically mystery shopping is, is that a company will let you eat in their shop for free for a review of how their service is. It\u2019s a good way for big companies to figure out how they will improve. They will give you the minimum amount you can spare and then reimburse you for that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you profit from it, but usually, you don\u2019t. But the good thing is that you get to eat for free, which are you saving money and for an important student.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some students do this all the time and get multiple free meals a week. One website that always does this is marketforce.com, and it\u2019s a cool way to save money while eating out with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Dog Walking <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you take up dog walking as a means of making money as a student, you\u2019ll be surprised at the amount of money you can make every single month. How much you can make from it also depends on where your school is. If you go to school in big cities and communities with busy families, you\u2019ll find dogs to walk with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start advertising to connect with people who need someone to walk their dogs. Some people can put off a lot of money to achieve that, and who wouldn\u2019t want to get paid to play with dogs all day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6. Starting your own business <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Colleges are the best places to put your hands into many different businesses because you have access to different resources and can take risks. The key thing is to find something you\u2019ll love doing and then find a way to market it and find people who are willing to pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can bake a cake, learn how to design a WordPress blog, etc. Some of the biggest companies today, like Facebook, started in their school days. If you are in college, consider trying your hands on different things. You might never know what it will teach you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s talk about the 6 best side hustles you can have while in school.
