8 Great Ways For ASU Students To Make Extra Money 4
Usually, most students at Alabama State University, not matter the background, have one common fixation among them — Money! When, where and how will I make my next dollar. Moral or unmoral, students try to make that next dollar. Well – I’m going to stay on the moral side and give you a few options to explore in your quest to make your next dollar. I don’t believe any of them will make you rich, but if it has the potential to it will not be over night.
I admit, I am not actively involved in each of these opportunities. Reason, I chose a few that I know I would fit into my own lifestyle and available free time. So, with that in mind look at each option and choose a few that best fits you.
If you use twitter, then I would suggest joining Sponsored Tweets. You get paid to tweet advertisements. You set a predetermined price you will charge per tweet; companies, organizations, and even other individuals will locate you based on your price range and offer you what is called an “opportunity”. The more followers you have, the higher price you can ask for. You have full control of what offers are tweeted by you. Why not get paid to do something that requires little effort on your part and it’s already something you’re doing for free — this makes Sponsored Tweets a great opportunity.
RevTwt is in the same mold as Sponsored Tweets, you get paid to advertise. However, the difference between the two, you get paid so much (usually cents) each time a link you post is clicked. Where as, Sponsored Tweets pays you a set price. Also, you are not limited to Twitter, you can post to other places around the web i.e. Facebook. Be aware, clicking or having your friends clicking the links over-and-over again will surely get you banned. RevTwt monitors activities such as this. So, don’t think you’re going to tweet an ad, go to your web browser and go on a “clicking spree” — it won’t happen! In addition to getting banned you will also lose any revenue you currently have made.
The new kid on the block who’s trying to get a part of this twitter mania; BeTweeted is just like RevTwt, you get paid by clicks. Betweeted, at the time of this post, does not have as nearly the amount of advertisers RevTwt has, but from the mania twitter has developed, that will probably soon change. So check them out also.
BigSpot offers those a chance to make some money by expressing their opinions by taking online surveys. Surveys are usually from companies who are interested in certain demographics who use their products, so they can make more appealing products. Occasionally, you can also receive surveys from the BigSpot website that will earn you some cash. I can’t personally, give my opinion about BigSpot, because I’m not a member; however, for those of you who do signup please comeback and comment about your experience with BigSpot.
Chances are your circle of friends usually have the same interest as you. So, if you buy items online for great deals, chances are pretty high your friends want those same deals to save a few bucks. So, why not get paid for telling your friends what great deals you found? That is exactly what Dealfer does, pays you for sharing great deals you find with your friends.
This one is for the graphic artist, or group of artist. LogoMyWay is like the middle man who connects the individual/organization who would like to have a logo designed with a capable artist. This would be ideal for those who are art majors. But, you will need to be able to interpret the artwork into a digital art program like Adobe’s Photoshop & Illustrator or any program of the like.
In the same fashion how LogoMyWay connects clients with artists, RentACoder connects clients with all sorts of IT suppliers. Know how to write computer/web programs? Search RentACoder for clients looking for a developer, place a bid and you could possibly win the contract to complete the job. These jobs can range from about $10 to thousands of dollars. To optimize the potential & revenue possibilities this site can offer, try teaming up with a few others around the community and work as a team to complete some of the bigger projects that offer greater payouts. RentACoder is not just for programmers, there are many people seeking individuals to do all sorts of computer related projects like: data entry, write papers, create flash documents, video/sound editing, etc. etc. If it can be created/modified on a computer, chances are you’ll find a client on RentACoder willing to pay you for time and work.

I haven’t tried anything except sponsored tweets and BigSpot. Sponsored tweets is cool and really works. I don’t like that u have to make $50 before withdrawing though. I have a BigSpot account but i personally haven’t used it before but I know people who says it didn’t work for them.
So when do you plan to use BigSpot? How much are you charging per tweet on SponsoredTweets? And, what about keywords in account tab, did you fill that? Because a lot of advertisers tend to find tweeters based on those keywords.
