It can be a bit challenging to juggle a job while going to school. It certainly can be done, but the internet now offers more flexible opportunities with online jobs that are perfect for college students. Students in general and even those with a full time job can benefit from these options as they are typically things you can work on at your leisure, or at the very least can fit into your already busy schedule.

With no commute and the potential for higher income than a part-time student job, many are turning to the net to find what's available.

Highlighted Below are the 10 Best Online Jobs for College Students:


1. Online Business Owner

10 Best Online Jobs for College Students

As an Online Business Owner you are your own boss. You set your own hours, decide on your own business and can make money online day or night. This is probably the best online job for college students and the like because it has far more potential to it than simply getting a "paid for your time" job.

  • Set Your Own Hours
  • Make Money Day or Night
  • Be Your Own Boss

And unlike a traditional college job, this job can be running for the rest of your life. So regardless of what you end up doing with your degree, your online business can remain and requires little effort to continue running.


2. Affiliate Marketer

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular jobs online that people have discovered over the past 10+ years. As an affiliate marketer you have your own business and are able to work when and as much as you want. Connecting yourself with big companies like Amazon, Commission Junction and Clickbank, to name a few, allows you to make a commission on other people's products. You can either quickly and easily set up your own website, or you can start working right away on one that is already set up for you.

3. Freelance Writer

Freelance Writer

Freelance writing is an easy way to make some extra money in college. With so many opportunities available from article writing for a blog, website or other marketing material it's fairly easy to get started. Payments are typically either fixed per word, per project or by hourly rate.

Websites that offer this type of work include:
oDesk
Elance
Craiglist
Textbroker
Crowdsource


4. Online Tutoring

Online tutoring is an excellent job for college students. If you have knowledge in any particular school subject you can sign up to be an online tutor. You will need to work with other students via chat or video messaging, so the flexibility isn't quite as good as the above option, but it still beats an hourly job that doesn't pay much. To quality you'll need to do a series of tests to determine your abilities and knowledge. A minimum amount of college education may also be required.

Websites for online tutoring are listed below:
Tutor.com
Homework Tutoring
Aim 4 A

5. Virtual Assisting

Are you great at secretarial work? If so, virtual assisting would probably be perfect for you. As a virtual assistant you perform the same tasks as a regular office assistant would, like scheduling appointments, making phone calls, managing emails and more, you simply do them remotely. You can usually work for more than one client in this fashion. It may feel more like a "regular" job with set hours, but because it is done remotely it still has more flexibility than other college jobs might.

Freelancing Jobs

To find virtual assistant jobs visit any of the websites below:
oDesk
Elance
Guru
iFreelance
Craigslist
(jobs ==> admin / office)


6. Data Entry

Data entry work is probably not what you are imagining. And while it seems like a typical data entry job should be possible online, I've done enough research on the matter to know that they just don't really exist. However, that being said, some form of data entry work is available. This is typically copying and pasting information from a spreadsheet and putting them onto a website. Data entry can also include research for a client as you help them expand their website with relevant and helpful information. This type of job may not pay a lot, it all depends on the employer you find.

Amazon Mechanical Turk Jobs

Visit the following websites to find data entry work:

oDesk
Elance
Amazon Mechanical Turk
iFreelance
Craigslist

7. Photography

Sell Photos Online

Do you love taking photos? Even if you are no professional, you can make money selling your photographs online. Original photographs are in high demand for website owners who want to spruce up their pages, authors looking for book cover ideas and marketers needing to put together a killer presentation. You can upload as many photos that you like, any kind of photos and when they are downloaded you make a little dough. Nice, huh?

8. Survey Taking

I'm sure by now you have heard of survey taking as a way to make money online. I personally have tried it and it is possible to do so. But just know that you won't make very much with this kind of job. At best you may make some side money. Certainly not any substantial income to pay your bills.

9. Bubblews

Bubblews Review


This is kind of a strange option to throw out there, but it is a possibility as well. The best part about Bubblews is you are getting paid for simply being YOU. Kind of a crazy notion, but it works all the same and many are making money from this website. Essentially, they are paying you a small portion from the traffic they get. You can post anything you like and the posts don't even have to be long. Think of it like posting anything and everything on Facebook, but then Facebook paying you part of their profits from traffic. You can read my full review about Bubblews here.



10. Small Online Tasks

If none of the options above work for you, there are online side jobs you can take like testing links, writing reviews, finding images for websites, link and website sharing and social media work. This kind of work won't pay you a lot, but it is easy to do and very flexible.

Visit these websites to find small online jobs:
Amazon Mechanical Turk
Craigslist
(jobs, sort by telecommute)


What You Need to Work Online


It is important to note that before you start working an online job, you need to make sure you have the essentials in place. Must haves for an online job are:

  • A computer with reliable internet access
  • Microsoft Office or similar
  • PayPal account
  • Bank account that can accept direct deposits
  • Email account
  • Skype (optional - but sometimes necessary)

This is just a preliminary list. Depending on the type of job you get and what is required you may need more. But this is typically enough for the jobs mentioned above.

Having an online job can save you time and money. Not having to worry about commuting or trading your time for money in an inflexible job, the internet has provided everyone with ample opportunities to do something UNtraditional. So use this technology to your advantage. Change the way you've thought about the kind of jobs you can do. Honestly, everyone has unique skills and chances are there is someone out there that can use yours via the net. So start hunting for the opportunity that is perfect for you.
