Every Student Can Earn Money Online: Here’s How (But Beware Of Scams

Chapter 1: Earn cash from YouTube



YouTube is a global phenomenon and one of the most visited sites on the planet, which means that there is a chance that you could earn some cash by creating some homemade videos that become an online hit.

Many of us are aware of the videos that go viral and earn large sums of money for the owner by racking up millions of views but even if you don’t manage to hit the big time with your offerings, you can certainly create an income stream if you do it right and give people what they want to see.

Get involved with the YouTube Partner Programme, which lets you earn a percentage of cash from the adverts that run alongside your videos. The sums of money that you can earn can vary quite a bit and are reliant on the number of views you manage to achieve, but with a series of videos running, you could generate a regular income stream.

You need to apply to YouTube in order to become a partner and as long as you already regularly upload clips that attract a reasonable amount of views before you make your application, you stand a good chance of being accepted.



Chapter 2: Get paid to watch videos




If you prefer to get paid to watch videos rather than make them, there are several sites who offer payments or vouchers in return for rating promotional videos and adverts.

Check out the forums for sites like Maximiles and Jingit amongst others, to see how other people find the system is working for them and to try and avoid getting involved in a scheme that is either not very lucrative or doesn’t pay out how you would expect them to.

Rate My Video should serve as a warning. It was very popular and had plenty of members signed up, but closed without warning a while ago. Always keep in contact with other on forums to keep up to date with any developments on sites you are doing work for.

Using Maximiles as an example, they upload new videos every day and you earn points for each one that you view. Watching these quick ads won’t earn you a fortune and might amount to about $250 of vouchers for the year, but getting some money in your Amazon account in the form of a gift voucher, is always a welcome bonus.
