Make Money During College

Updated on September 22, 2013

Thinking of how to make money during college? Then you are planning to be a bit more special than your fellow colleages who don't.

Money making!!!!! Is it that important? or can't it be neglected?

Ya! it' s an important aspect of every one's life starting from a saint to a family man, youngsters to elderly.

It can be used for anything good or bad, to build a church or a missile, for charity or crime. But the thing is it is only a means and very important one.

So making money at very early age is important.

Even Warren buffett one of the worlds richest man remarks that he feels guilty for having started investing at very late age of eleven years and he must have started even earlier :-). Wow! then is it not good to start altleast at the age of college?

Even Google which is one of the richest and topmost fortune 400 companies was started by Larry page and Sergey brin as a research project as PhD students at Stanford university.

I believe that a person who does earn in their college days are far more successful than their counterparts.

So why not a guy at college think of making money while he/she is in college?

Since you early mornings are tiresome, you may have little strength to carry your duties in the college entire day.

Earning due to sales: Here you sell some products on the net. This is e commerce. You have an appealing and interesting content for a product and try to enhance sales of the product.
