Infobarrel

Infobarrel pays you to write articles online.  You earn 75% of the revenue from the ads displayed on your articles, but have the option of earning up to 90% of the revenue.  You have the option of being paid directly by Infobarrel via Paypal (once you have reached the minimum payout of $50) or you can have your Adsense code inserted into the ads on your page and earn that way.  (I have found that I earned more getting paid by Infobarrel than when I used my Adsense code.)  If you are an Amazon Associate, you can also make money by selling Amazon products on your Infobarrel articles.  Infobarrel is set up with widgets to let you insert Amazon products directly into the article.  You will also earn a 2% of any revenue earned by people you refer to Infobarrel.

On Infobarrel you can write about almost any topic you want as long as it is original content.  As a college student, you likely have a lot to say and some extra time to write articles.  One of the key perks of being a college student, is you likely have a lot of friends and followers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media platforms.  You can use your large online presence to promote your articles and get lots of views.  The key to making more money is getting more readers.  If one of your articles go viral, you will have an even greater chance of making a lot of money and the earnings from Infobarrel are hardly peanuts, there are success stories of Infobarrel writers making over $2,500 per month! That's a lot of beer and would go a long way towards student loans and tuition.  The best part is that after you have a large bank of articles, you continue to make money off of them even if you do nothing!  So it's not only a source of revenue while in college, but after you graduate as well!

Squidoo

 

Squidoo is a site where you can make money by creating webpages called lenses. Squidoo will pay its members directly based upon the lensrank of their lenses. Those who have lenses whose lensrank is in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 (the top 85,000 lenses on Squidoo) will receive payment based upon a share of the revenue Squidoo earns each month. Members can also include modules in their lenses to sell products through Amazon, iTunes, eBay, and other sources. You will receive 50% of the commissions from the sales through you lenses. You will also earn $5 for every member you refer to Squidoo once they earn their first $15 at Squidoo.

Building Squidoo lenses are fun because you can add lots of different modules including videos, polls, images and more.  There are also several revenue sharing modules and if you know what people are looking for on the Internet or how to get a lot of views on a page, you can make a lot of money.  As a college student, you like have a huge social media following on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.  Share all of your Squidoo lenses to help boost traffic and if one goes viral you can really rake in the dough.  Some people make hundreds and even thousands of dollars per month with Squidoo!
