11 Fun Ways To Make Money

Everyone would love some extra spending money or a little more in their savings account, so why not have fun doing it? Talents, interests and hobbies can become cash, and here’s some ways to do it:

1. Become a Campus Representative:

If you’re fond of a particular app or store, find out about their campus rep opportunities! You get to promote the app or store around your campus and build off of your social connections to make money!

WayUp is an amazing website/app that is geared towards finding college students jobs! There are many campus rep opportunities on this website, sign up here:

2. Make an app:

This of course requires some knowledge on app development and dedication to the app, but anyone can submit their own app to the app store. Have an idea? Start working on it, because no matter how big or small, someone will probably find use for it.

Check out this app LookOff, where your face is trivia, by Justin Lennox:

3. Start a YouTube channel:

Making money through YouTube definitely takes time, as well as good content. If you’re up for a bit of challenge and have a passion for something, whether it be makeup, fashion, making people laugh, etc, YouTube is a great platform to showcase your interests on.

You also can ask around and use your own social connections to find professors or faculty on campus who are in need of a babysitter.

7. Start your own photography business:


If you happen to love photography, then start a web page and upload your work for others to enjoy (and hopefully hire you).

8. Become a Brand Ambassador:

Many brands offer ambassador positions to promote their clothing or products. This is an amazing way to make money, because it's all about how much work you want to put in. The more time you dedicate to the brand, the more money you'll make. You'll be able to hold events for the brand and even get to give away free stuff, and who doesn't love free stuff?

9. Start an Etsy shop:

Let your creative juices flow and start an Etsy to sell handmade crafts, art or anything really. Start your own shop at https://www.etsy.com.

You can even create a Facebook for your business! Check out The Pink Pineapple shop for adorable gifts here:

10. Start a blog:

Love to write? Your outlet can become a source of income with enough time and dedication (and partnerships with ads). Blogs are not only fun for the writers (and most likely a stress relief), they're fun for others to read!

Check out a couple of my Alpha Gam sisters' blogs here:

11. Sell your things:

If you find yourself not using/wearing something for a while, sell it! It’s a great way to de-clutter and make extra money while doing it too!

You can sell on amazon, eBay and many other websites, but don't forget to put your items on buy/trade/sell Facebook pages!

Or just try to win the lottery because let's face it, money is cool sometimes.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
