It is understandable that you are looking for online jobs for college students that would not cost you much money when starting out. In addition, you would want online jobs that are easy to start and do not take much of your time as you need to concentrate on your studies. Here are some ideas that would be ideal for you:

Online Surveys- provide many online jobs for college students. I am going to go through a few points and myths about these and reveal the truth about online surveys.MOST of these site will pay about 50 cents per survey and each one of these surveys takes at least 10-15 minutes and you must be qualified for each one. For example they might be looking for a female between 18 and 25 who lives in the Boston area and if you do not match these qualifications then they will not pay you.

There are surveys that pay 10-15 dollars each. Now these are few and far between so there are very few of these online jobs for college students. Also these surveys all require you to download and install products as well as purchasing products. This not only cuts into your profits but it also causes computer issues. Many times it will slow your computer down as well as download viruses onto your computer which is just asking for a disaster.If you have experience in building virtual machines on computers and are an expert at fixing computers then this could be worthwhile however this is not one of the very practical online jobs for college students.

If you have some skills, you may use them to your advantage. Freelancing are ideal online jobs for college students. There are online companies that need freelancers who are able and willing to do certain jobs for them. You can become a freelancer in practically any area in life. Whether you are an IT expert, an engineer student, a photographer or you have some experience in a certain area, you may get a job as a freelancer. For you to make it as a freelancer, you must show traits of a reliable, honest, professional and trustworthy person. This is the only way you will build a good name for yourself and make clients look for you.To make sure that you don't get scammed, always check-out any company you wish to do business with or work for with the Better Business Bureau. This will help you avoid losing your money or giving your services to dishonest companies.

Are you a college student? Would you like some ideas about online jobs for college students? Do you have access to a computer? If you are reading this, than I assume so...wink. It is funny when I think about it because way back in the olden days when I was in college (1994-1998), it was uncommon for students to have computers in their rooms. Some of us did have PCs, but for typing papers only. I laugh out loud when I think that we didn't have access to Google if we needed to look something up. I mean really, we had to go to the library. I went to Virginia Tech, so naturally the library was 5 miles in the snow uphill both ways. And if we got stuck in the snow, its not like we could call for help from our cell phones. Yikes... Sorry.

Anyway, back to the present. I am assuming that unless you live in some far off remote private island with no human inhabitants, that you have access to a computer. I have also concluded that since you are still here that you can read. Well, today is your lucky day! All you need to be successful in affiliate marketing is access to a computer and the ability to read.

So what are you going to do? It is summertime and you want money to travel. You want to be able to go tanning and pay for pedicures and manicures. You can't do those things on a babysitter's salary. It's time for you to expand your horizons and start looking for jobs for college students online.Did you know there are jobs for college students online where you can literally make $1,000s a day without having to spend money and without having your own website? I'm talking about affiliate marketing.

Articles are in high demand on the internet, and there are plenty companies and marketers that will pay you for quality articles. We are talking 300-500 word articles in most cases. You can find business in forums, online ads, and places like AssociatedContent.com and Elance.com. Top writers make upwards of $5000/month, but keep in mind they've been doing it awhile. If you can write quality articles and you are consistent you can probably pull in $1000-$2000 per month after you get going in it.Yes, you can make money doing online surveys. No, it's not going to make you rich. Finding the right survey companies and participating in focus groups is the key. You will find a lot of products that claim to have the best resources for finding quality survey companies, but it's been my experience that you can pretty much find them on your own by doing some research online. Check out forums and blogs related to paid surveys. You can probably pull in $1000/month if you do your homework and at least 3-5 surveys a day.
