40 easy ways
to make
money quickly
On this post
you'll find all
the best ways
to make money
in your spare
time whilst at
university based
on our own
experience. We'll keep adding
new ways to this page so go
ahead and bookmark it. And
please do share your own
ideas in the comments!
1. No-risk matched
betting
Hands down the quickest
way to make a lot of
money (well, without
breaking the law). Lots of
students have genuinely
made £100s from this
technique. It's
completely legal, risk free,
tax free, and anyone can
do it.
It works by taking
advantage of free bets
regularly offered by
betting sites through
‘matching' them at a
betting exchange.
Matched betting
eliminates the risk (you
are betting both for and
against a certain
outcome).
This leaves you being
able to squeeze out the
free bet, which can be as
much as £200! Multiply
this by how many betting
sites there are and you
can quite easily come
away with a profit of a
few hundred pounds.
Owen walks you through
how to make your first
£15 profit (using a real
life example) in this gem
of a guide to matched
betting. If you know of
any better way to make
£30/hr sitting at home,
please let us know!
2. Online surveys
An increasingly popular
way for students to make
money is to fill out online
surveys in their spare
time. Research companies
are always recruiting new
members to answer
surveys and test new
products.
For a few minutes of form
filling, you can make a
couple of quid which is
paid as cash or rewards.
You can bag up to £3 ($5)
for some surveys!
A few good ones to try
are: Toluna , Vivatic,
MySurvey , Valued
Opinions , IPSOS, Global
Test Market , The Opinion
Panel, YouGov, Pinecone ,
OnePoll , SurveyBods ,
PopulusLive , Hiving,
PanelBase , Branded
Surveys , Opinion
Outpost , Harris Poll, Mind
Mover , New Vista , iPoll.
Also sign up for
Swagbucks which rewards
you for surveys as well as
simply surfing the web,
watching videos and
playing games.
Update: See our new full
guide to the best paid
online surveys!
3. Paid for searching
the web
Interested in earning
cash for doing what you
already do online? This
has to be one of the
easiest methods of
making money online
without really any effort
or change in your
behavior.
This innovative idea by
Qmee.com rewards you
for searching in Google,
Bing or Yahoo. You just
install a simple add-on to
your browser and when
you conduct a search
there may be a few
sponsored results
alongside your normal
search.
Each Qmee result has a
cash reward attached – if
you are interested in it
simply click on it and
collect your reward.
The best thing is there is
no minimum to cashout –
our first one was just 72p
wired to our Paypal
account. You also have
the option to donate it to
charity.

start earning from your
own searches! Click here

4. Online market
trading
The historically hard-to-
break world of investing
in stock markets and
currencies has been
cracked wide open. Today
there is no need to be a
fat cat or 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
experimenting with the
two biggest platforms:
Plus500 and eToro.com.
Both offer free practice
accounts.
Overall I prefer eToro
with over 4.5 million
users worldwide. It was
recently featured in the
BBC 2 documentary
“Traders: Millions by the
Minute” and the
Financial Times.
One of the best things on
eToro is the CopyTrader
feature. This lets you
literally see, follow and
copy the investments of
other top performing
traders.
Follow George's complete
guide to trading on
eToro to learn more. I
think $200 is a good
amount to get the most
out of the learning curve
by trying out a few
different markets. If
nothing else you'll learn
a great deal about
various investments and
industries.
Disclaimer: CFD trading
can be volatile and you
can lose your entire
capital, so don't throw
your life savings into
it! Past performance does
not guarantee future
results. Trading CFDs may
not be suitable for you.
Please ensure you fully
understand the risks
involved.
5. 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 in his first
year, which has since
grown into a full-time
and sizable enterprise.
Read Owen's step-by-step
guide on how to start a
website in 20 minutes .
It's really one of the best
assets you can have.
6. Review websites &
apps for cash
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.com – a new
platform that pays
everyday people to review
all kinds of websites.
Each review takes around
20 minutes and bags you
$10 (£6.50) via Paypal.
Simply sign up here ,
complete a test review
and look forward to
receiving websites in your
inbox.
7. The ‘Disney Vault'
secret
To keep demand high
across generations,
Disney Studios carefully
restrict the supply of
some home release
classics. They are locked
away in the ‘vault' for
8-10 years before being
released for a short
unspecified 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 are Toluna ,
Swagbucks and
InboxPounds .
