Paid to Sign Up Sites

There are many sites out there where you can get paid to sign-up for offers. With these sites, you get paid to read e-mails, take surveys, search the web, complete offers (often times signing-up for a mailing list or online program), playing games and more--all things that college student are sure to be able to do. These sites will also pay you a percentage of all the earnings of members you refer and if there's one thing college student have it's a lot of friends who are looking for ways to make more money. You can e-mail your friends to refer them to sign-up for these great sites or simply share referral links on Facebook or Twitter. Once you reach a certain minimum of earnings on these sites (usually $20-$30) you can then cash out via Paypal or check depending upon the site. Paid to sign-up sites are one of many ways for college students to make extra money online.

ZoomBucks

ZoomBucks is a great way to make extra money, especially for college students.  ZoomBucks allows you to make money by completing offers, taking surveys, playing games, performing tasks, searching online, shopping online, referring friends and more.  All of these actions are performed to earn ZoomBucks which are then converted to gift certificates or cash via Paypal. The minimum to redeem is 300 ZoomBucks for $3 on Amazon or 575 for $5 via Paypal.

Most of the offers, tasks and surveys that need to be completed by ZoomBucks are very simple but time consuming.  You can cut down on the time it takes by installing Robo Form on your computer to instantly fill in information such as name, address, e-mail, etc...

Some of the offers and tasks you can complete for ZoomBucks require a credit card or some type of payment (it usually involves signing up for program) but many others are free.  In fact in my first day at ZoomBucks, I earned over 300 ZoomBucks (enough to cash in for an Amazon gift certificate) without spending a cent.  I could have earned even more and probably gotten up to the 575 to get $5 from Paypal, but I just got tired.

Also, don't be afraid of the paid offers as some of them are for things you would already sign-up for, why not get cash back for signing up for Hulu Plus?

Another tip for ZoomBucks and all paid to complete offers sites, sign-up for each paid to complete offer site with a different e-mail address, which is super easy to do with gmail and all the other e-mail platforms.  This is because many paid to complete sites have the same offers that you will get paid for and if you signup with different e-mails, you can get credit for the offers across multiple platforms.
