5. Online market trading
Investing in the stock market isn't necessarily an easy way to make money but it can be lucrative if you learn to do it properly. By the same token, all trading involves risk so only ever invest what you can afford to lose.
Today there is no need to fund the yachts of Wolf of Wall Street style stock brokers. You can do it all yourself with the help of online market trading platforms.
Having spent many hours researching this new opportunity, I've been using the popular platform eToro.com.
eToro is fully regulated and has over 25 million users worldwide. They featured in the BBC Two documentary "Traders: Millions by the Minute" and sponsor several Premier League football clubs.
One of the unique things on eToro is the CopyTrader feature. This lets you see, follow and copy the investments of other top-performing traders.
Start with a virtual portfolio where you get $100k to practice trading without any risk.
Example virtual portfolio
The minimum amount to start making real trades is £/$10.
Follow our complete guide to trading on eToro. You'll learn a great deal about various investments and industries.
Please be aware that all trading involves risk. eToro is a multi-asset platform that offers real asset ownership and high-risk leveraged 'CFD' products. 51% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. Therefore we suggest you only trade real stocks without leverage. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Copy Trading does not amount to investment advice. The value of your investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk. You must be over 18.
6. Start your own website
Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It's the way to make money while you sleep.
Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by an 82 year-old.
It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetise your site.
Save the Student is just one example of a successful website. Started at university by Owen Burek, it has since grown to serve over 1 million visitors a month.
Read Owen's step-by-step guide on how to create a website in 20 minutes from home. It's really one of the best assets you can have.
7. Review websites & apps
Well, it seems like you're pretty nifty with a web browser. So perhaps it's time to turn pro and browse websites as a paid and fun job!
Introducing UserTesting - a platform that pays everyday people to review all kinds of websites and apps. Each review takes around 20 minutes and bags you $10 (£6.50) via Paypal.
Simply sign up to UserTesting, complete a test review and look forward to receiving websites in your inbox.
TestingTime is another site that pays you to review websites and apps, as well as new products and services.
8. The 'Disney Vault' secret
To keep demand high across generations, Disney Studios restrict the supply of some home release classics. Physical blu-rays are locked away in the 'vault' for 8-10 years before being released for a short time.
Buy them in this window at normal retail price, and you can turn a nice profit when they go off sale for another decade or so.
For example, in 2011 you could buy Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray 3D for just £24.99. In just a couple of years it was on Amazon for a staggering £74.99!
Importantly, not all Disney releases are subject to the vault and only the true classics will maintain such demand.
Right now there are just 2 titles out of the vault which I would recommend snapping up. They are Bambi Diamond Edition Blu-ray and The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-ray.
8. 'Get Paid To' sites
Similar to making money from online surveys, GPT sites reward you in cash and vouchers for completing various offers or activities online.
The most popular sites today include User Interviews, Toluna, Swagbucks and InboxPounds.
9. Make deliveries
Own a bicycle, motorbike or car? What about a Smartphone? That's all you need to make extra money by delivering food or people whenever you have some spare time.
Sign up to delivery specialist companies like Deliveroo which are always on the hunt for new riders. They allow you total flexibility to work when you want, delivering food from restaurants to the customers' door. You can make up to £16 an hour.
Double-up your opportunities by directly contacting local takeaways and bigger chains like Dominos to see if they have any delivery jobs going.
10 Publish a Kindle eBook
If students are good at anything, it's researching and writing. With the Kindle store, anyone can publish an eBook and make money on Amazon.
The Kindle app is now available on any device so your global market is huge!
List your book for £1.49 - £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember, people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal.
The key to success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Bundling information you have researched and compiled on a common problem (eg. 'secrets' to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook) justifies someone spending a few quid on it.
Have a professional cover designed so it stands out (browse these).
Once your eBook is live on the Kindle store, it's important to get some reviews so it shows up higher in results. Encourage readers to leave an honest review at the end of your book.
The best thing about this lucrative idea is that once you've invested the time (say 20 hours), you'll earn a passive income for years to come!
For more tips see our guide on making money from eBooks.
11. Affiliate marketing
If you have a social media following or a website, you can start making money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.
Sign up as a publisher on the Awin network. Check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your followers would be interested in. Then grab your affiliate link and share it.
If someone buys using your link you'll make a nice commission (can be within up to 90 days).
Learn more with our guide to affiliate marketing.
12. Mobile phone recycling
You can earn money and help the environment by recycling your old mobile phones and other unused devices. Ask your parents if they have any lying around too.
Head to our page on making money from old phones for the best companies to use and how to ensure you get all the cash quoted to you online.
13. Become a 'Clickworker'
The Clickworker.com concept is based on 'internet crowd-sourcing' where businesses advertise specific, scalable tasks they need completing quickly. And for us, it's an easy way to make money fast from home.
There are a variety of tasks, but most commonly they involve mindless data entry, web research or form filling.
You are paid in cash (via Paypal) for the work you choose to do.
14. Claim tax back
Many students work part-time or during the summer months, and others will be on placements or paid internships. If you are a student working during the year, you will probably be overpaying income tax.
Why? Simply because few students reach the personal tax-free income allowance each year. However, they are often put on an emergency basic tax-code by their employers meaning tax is being paid when it shouldn't be.
To calculate how much tax back you might be due, see our guide on student tax refunds.
15. Cashback when shopping
This is a way to make money and save money at the same time. Cashback allows you to reclaim money from purchases you would have made anyway, whether it be 50% or 0.5% cashback.
There are a number of cashback sites which pay you the commission they otherwise would have earned.
We recommend signing up with Top Cashback, Quidco.com and Swagbucks which are free and offer the best selection of retailers and exclusives.
16. Part-time job
A part-time job is the obvious first choice for students looking to supplement their student loan. It provides a steady flow of income and valuable work experience.
But good jobs are not always easy to find!
Start with our student job search. Then check local classifieds and your university careers service for vacancies.
It's also worth signing up with CV Library. This is a free service that matches your CV with suitable part-time jobs and career opportunities.
Read our guide to finding a part-time job for more tips.
17. Gigs on Fiverr
Fiverr is the world's largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as 'gigs').
What you offer could be absolutely anything. From writing and translating, social media posting, playing pranks and teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people around the world.
The default price is $5 (hence Fiverr), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money. Earnings can quickly add up and there are thousands of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimises the time spent on each gig.
There is another way to profit even more from Fiverr, for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere.
For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Upwork or local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it's repeatable! Just check with your designer that they are happy with this.
If you're not interested in selling, there's so much good stuff you can get done for yourself. Have a browse and get inspired!
