How Students can Earn while studying :
1. START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL: Especially if you are a communications or film student, making a YouTube channel is one of the best ways for college students to make money online while also helping to build a portfolio! Believe it or not, there are hundreds of people on YouTube who actually make enough money to live off of! Plan out a channel idea, start making videos, and then partner with YouTube. Once you do this, advertisements will begin running on your videos and the more views you get, the more money you will make!

2. Doing other people’s homework and assignments: Transtutors dot comis a platform where college students from around the world post their homework, assignments, projects and subject queries. I answer them as an online tutor and earn cash rewards for it. I also earn Royalty on my answers. It means that if website sells a subscription because of my answer, I earn 80% of whatever the student pays as the royalty – even long after I have stopped working for the website. Great place to build passive income source for your future!

3. Listverse: This website is great for good writers. All you have to do is compile a list of 10 items or more and have a word count of at least 1,500 words. You have the flexibility to choose your own topic but the concept has to be original. If your list gets accepted, you can earn $100 for it. The one-time payment is transferred to your Paypal account.

4. About.com: A top US website with several sub-sites on niche topics, about dot com employs only highly skilled web-content creators as freelancers. If you are accepted as a guide on the website, you can earn up to six-figures a year - depending on the traffic your articles get. It means that the quality of your articles define your income here.

5. Upwork: Two best websites for professionals of all types (designers, writers, translators, programmers, attorneys, financial advisors etc.), Elance and Odesk merged together to form Upwork. It's kind of ebay for freelancers where businesses can post their work and freelancers bid for it. It is not easy to get your first project on it and every single writing job I bid for here was swamped with 'very low' bids that almost took my motivation away. But once the ball starts rolling and you have a few feedbacks and testimonials to back you, you can earn a decent amount of money here.

6. iFreelance: Much like Upwork, it's a great place for programmers, writers, artists and photographers to bid for assignments.
Working online for a good and steady income source is possible – if you work hard and are a bit enterprising. Best of Luck!
If you are a college going student or just passed out then Transtutors dot com will be the best choice!

7. SELL STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY
Selling stock photography is the perfect way for a photography student (or anyone else who loves taking pictures) to make some extra cash! Once again, you can use your work to help build your portfolio as well as make money, so it's a win-win! Several websites (such as Stock photos, royalty-free images, video & music clips - iStock) pay you money every time someone downloads your photograph to use in an ad, article or brochure. Just keep in mind that if you offer pictures of people, you have to get signed release forms.

9. BLOGGING
If you have great ideas but no one to listen, start a blog! Many other college students can relate to your life and your experiences so why not join the blogosphere and meet them all? If you gain a large enough following, you can start to advertise on your blog and make money! You can also ask companies if you can get paid for having a positive product review in your posts about them. Blogger and Wordpress are two of the best websites to get your started with blogging!

Websites like Zazzle and CafePress let you upload your own images to be branded on a variety of T-shirts and other accessories. Search around for what's selling right now, and create your own design of something similar.

11. SELL RESEARCH PAPERS
College students put a ton of work into researching and writing#collegepapers, but most of them don't know that you can get paid for it! Websites such as Associated Content allows you to make at least $1.50 for every 1,000 page views your paper receives. However, make sure that you choose legitimate companies and avoid those that resell your papers to students looking for an easy A! You want to help others learn, not#cheat!

12. FREELANCE WRITING
Websites such as Freelance writing resources, jobs, gigs and advice will post various openings to be a freelance writer. This means that you will get paid to write about things you either like or are knowledgeable about. You can even go to your favorite blog or website, and ask if you can be a freelance writer for them. Usually a company will ask that you send a sample to them first so make sure to keep one handy!

14.Teaching Assistant-ship and Research Projects: If you good in a course, the institute offers you about Rs 6,000 per month to attend some lectures and tutorials sincerely – about Rs 24,000 per semester
I do realize that TAs are not easily available to all UGs and research projects are the other way of earning money (while pursuing your passion of course). Sometimes, a research project pays you more than what you can make as a TA.

15. AMAZON'S MECHANICAL TURK
I'm always surprised that Amazon's Mechanical Turk isn't known by more people. What it does is give you a list of HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) which are individual tasks that you can work on. Simply browse the selection and select one that interests you. When you're done, submit your work, and after the requester approves your work, money is deposited into your #AmazonPayments account. Most are only a few cents each, but doing a few every day can really add up!

16. Home Tutoring: If you are in love with home-made food, late evening tuitions are a blessing. People are thrilled to hire 'genius students' to teach their children. I used to earn Rs 10-20K per month through home tuitions in 2008 just after 12th, in today's scenario you can make upto 40-80k easily.
I remember how I sometimes used to extend the class by 10-20 minutes just in hope that I would be able to eat some homemade food. Every time, the parents 'forced' me to dine with them and I loved to accept their invitations.
17. Startups: Nothing smells sweeter than the idea of owning a startup. Come up with an idea of your own or work for someone who seems to have cracked ‘the’ idea.
Naturally, if you own the startup, you are in ‘high risk’ zone but can make greater profits too. Working for someone is like playing a low-ball – less risk but sure income.
18. SELL ON AMAZON OR EBAY
We all have things that we don't need. Instead of throwing them out, why not sell them? This is not only a great way to make money, but also a great way to clear out some clutter. This is also quick and easy for you because there's no need to sit at your computer, you just have to list the item and go. While a lot of these others require you to pay #attention or sit at your computer, here you don't really have much to worry about.

Earn $150 to $300 month by working 1 to 2 hours a day with Leapforce:
A US-based company called Leapforce offers $7 per hour to Indians who work on jobs like reviewing Search Engine Results or rating Social Media Ads. You have to be a graduate and clear a qualification test for each project you are applying for.
There is a limitation that you can only work for one hour a day on each project you apply for. The other downsides are that the study materials are lengthy and tests are a bit tough – which stretches up your work time considerably.

21. Test Websites and Take SurveysHave free time on your hands between classes? Love to browse the far corners of the Internet? You can get paid for checking out what's out there, and giving feedback on what you think of websites, user interfaces, and other facets of web development. How to start?

22. Virtual Assisting
Virtual assisting is essentially secretarial work on the web. You will do a lot of the same tasks an office secretary would do, like scheduling appointments, managing emails, making phone calls, etc. The only difference is that you work at home from your computer. Most of the other online jobs on this list would require you to work with multiple clients to maintain long-term pay, but this would give you more of a traditional 9-5 feel for your job, where you work with one or two clients total. Of course, you don’t have to work 9-5. You can work whenever you want as long as it fits your employer’s needs.

23.Sell water!
Math is easy, go to Costco, even if you have to pay the member ship fee. By a pallet of water bottle. A pallet is 78 cases, each case has 24 bottles and cost $489.99, buy 2 of them 979.98. Membership is $55, so total cost is $1034.98 - That's a little above your budget. However if you buy one and use the profit you can afford the membership to CostCo. You will need some ice as well, selling cold water on a cold day works!
Sell each bottle for $1
You have 78*24*2 = $3744 bottles
Lets say you spend $100 on ice to keep the water cold.
Profit : $3744 - ($1034.98 + $100) = $2609.02
