Here On this post. You will find the most legit ways to make money in your spare time as a student based on our own experience and research. We will keep adding new ways to this page so go ahead and bookmark it for future reference.
And please endeavour to share your own ideas in the comments, thanks.
1.) No-risk matched betting
This is the quickest way to make
a lot of money (legit way, without being fraudulent). A lot of
students have genuinely made thousands of naira and dollars as well from this
method. It’s totally legal, risk free, tax free, and anyone, even dummies can
do it.
It works by taking full advantage of the
free bets regularly offered by betting sites through matching them at a betting
exchange. Note that matched betting eliminates the risk (you are betting
both for and against a certain outcome).
This leaves you with being able to make
out the free bet, which can run into as thousands of naira. Think about it if
you multiply this by how many betting sites that are available and you will see
how easy it is to become a millionaire within a short period of time.
2. Online surveys
one of the best ways for students to make money is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. A lot of Research companies are always recruiting new members to take surveys and test new products in exchange for money.

For a few minutes of filling forms, you could get
up to ($5) for some surveys!
See my post on legit survey sites that can pay you
both cash and gift rewards.

3. Paid for searching the web
Are you interested in earning cash for doing what
you already do online? This is one of the easiest methods of making money
online without investing money or any
effort or change in your behavior.
This great offer by qmee.com rewards you for
searching in Google, Bing or Yahoo. You just install a simple add-on to your
browser and whenever 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 just click on it and collect your reward.
The good thing that is there is no minimum to
cashout. Signup immediately to start making money.
4. Social Investment Networks
You can do this with the help of online market
trading platforms.
Having spending many hours researching on this new
opportunity, we have been experimenting with the two biggest platforms. This
site are
www.plus500.com
and www.etoro.com
Both sites offer free practice accounts, and furthermore,
Plus500 also gives you a free £20(without depositing) which you use to
start up. The best seems to eToro with over 4 million users worldwide.
One of the best things on eToro is that it lets you
literally see, follow and copy the investments of other top performing traders.
Warning: trading can be volatile and you
can lose money, so don’t throw your life savings into it!
5. Sell your notes
www.notsale.com is a site where you can sign up and
upload your notes for other students to download. You get to make money when
every your note is being downloaded. The note could be in hand written formats
or PDF or doc, etc.
You are most likely to make a lot of money with a
well typed PDF note. I advice all students to sign up on the site an upload as
many notes as possible. There is no sign up fee.
6. Review websites & apps for
cash
Instead of surfing the web and venturing into
irrelevant sites, here is a site to work with and make a lot of money form it.!
Introducing www.usertesting.com which is a
new platform that pays everyday people to review all kinds of websites. Each
review takes around 20 minutes and pays you $10 atleast via Paypal.
Simply signup and complete a test review and look
forward to receiving websites in your inbox.
7. ‘Get Paid To’ sites
Just like making money from online surveys, get
paid to sites rewards you in cash and
vouchers for completing various offers or activities online.
The most popular sites today are in my post on
list of get paid to site
8. Write and publish a Kindle eBook
If students are good at anything, it’s researching
and writing.
And the Kindle app is now available on almost any
device (laptops, iPads, smart phones and yes, Kindles) 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. Simply bundling information you have researched and
complied 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.
Another big tip is to have a great cover designed
so it stands out, and once your book is live on the Kindle store it’s really
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 lots of money for
years to come!
9. Affiliate marketing
If you’ve got a good command of crowd on social
media or you even have a blog or website, you can start making in money
immediately by promoting all kinds of companies, products, services and offers
online.
Sign up to an affiliate network such as
affiliate window, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find
something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate
link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your
link you’ll make a nice commission.
