Make Money Online and Ideas For College Students

July 31, 2009

As we walked into my daughter’s dorm room I quickly noticed the new laptop and stereo system. Either the pizza place she was working for paid better than my husband’s job or my daughter was finding money from somewhere else. I approached her and asked about the computer. Turns out she paid for it with money she made on the old worn out clunker laptop we had sent her off to school with.

At first I did not believe her. Making money online was a scam, wasn’t it? I looked down at the new laptop and noticed an article she was writing… for a class maybe?

It was entitled “Make Money Online - Ideas for College Students” and went over how she had actually made money while in school with very little money of her own to invest in this new business.

She told me I could have the article because she was really writing it for me anyway. She knew times were tough at home and if I could go online and make money like she was doing then things might not be so tight. We spent the next hour finishing the article and when we were done, I had a new respect for my daughter and a burning desire to duplicate her results.

Seems she had found a way to go online and find groups of people who had certain needs or desires. She then found a digital information product that solved this need or desire by showing the group of people how to get rid of a problem or create a solution to take care of their needs. She had started with acne. A lot of her friends were still suffering from it so she found a digital book online that you could buy that had all these natural cures for acne.

This book was written by someone willing to give a commission to those who sold it for him. I was worried about being taken advantage of until my daughter explained that an independent third party handled the transactions and she always got her money. I never even knew this type of thing existed.

I thought about changing the title of the article from “make money online - ideas for college students” to “college student shows busy mom how to make money from home” because that is exactly what she did and it is awesome!

I know how you might be feeling right now… no one goes looking for ways to money online if they already have enough. I was exactly where you are right now, not so long ago.

Got something to say?
