We’ve got eight more easy ways to a quick cash injection with this latest guide on how to make money as a student.

Become a tutor

Turn your knowledge into cash by offering up lessons. Whether it be just some casual help to your family friends, or starting your own full business, becoming a tutor can make you some easy cash in just a few hours. Post jobs on sites like First Tutors for free to find extra clients and parents who may be looking for help for their children in the local area.

Test products

You can get paid to test products or even be given new products completely for free, from phones to beauty treatments. Sign up to websites like ProductTesting.uk.com and cross your fingers you’ll be chosen to test out some of the latest gadgets which will be yours to keep!

Get paid to search the web

Websites like Qmee pay you just to search the web as you already probably do countless times a day. Sponsored ads accompany the search results and you can build up cash rewards which can either be paid out to a Paypal account or donated to a charity of your choice.

Baby sit, pet sit or house sit

Baby sitting, pet sitting and house sitting are all easy and typical student jobs that pretty much anyone can do on a casual basis for family and friends to make some quick cash. Make yourself available when such opportunities present themselves to you and build up some good references to get more jobs in future.

Sell a story

Newspapers and magazines will pay good cash for news stories and you’d be surprised just what they’ll consider newsworthy, even if you don’t. A frontpage story on the tabloids will make you thousands but even a small piece in a weekly magazine could be worth a few hundred quid.

Check out websites Talk To The Press and Sell Us Your Story who do all the hard work for you.

Sell your pictures and videos

Similar to the above, pictures of news events alone can be worth thousands of pounds. Whether it’s a candid celebrity snap, a picture of a crime scene or just a funny animal video, the papers and magazines may be interested.

See INS News agency for somewhere to sell your pics and clips.

Collect your change

Scour your room, car and anywhere else you frequent for spare change: You’d be surprised how it all adds up! Invest in a piggy bank (or just a tub will do) to keep your pennies and take them to your bank to be added to your balance.

Beg your parents

If you’re in desperate need of a cash injection, be cheeky and ask your parents: They’re not going to charge you Wonga style interest rates!
