figure out what type of work at home job you'd enjoy the most. then, test several programs, within that niche, to see which one is the best for you and the most profitable

I agree with the previous post. Find something you have passion. Don't try to make money from it at first. After you do a good job at it, the money will follow.

Dr. Dave,
In regards to your question about online surveys: Yes, you can make money doing this, but, it will be such an insignificant amount compared to the work you put in that it will drive you MAD! I still do surveys from time to time, but I only partake in such activities for the prizes and when trying new products is the compensation. These surveys pay very little tangible CASH. When you look at how much time you put in and how much actual money they send you in the form of mailed checks, it might come out to a little less than minimum wage. Probably, far less than minimum wage.
Sure there are ways to make money from home. If you do research on this forum you will surely find a system that is legit and has very real potential. However, don't be fooled. Any system worth your time will take serious learning and effort in the beginning. From what I took from your post, it looks like you are looking for something to net you profits right from the get go. If this is the case, then maybe a more traditional job for students will be better for you as you will make money right away! If your goal is to buy a notebook and help with living expenses a traditional job is what you need. A home business and these systems require a great deal of effort in the beginning. Time, learning and patience are required before you can navigate yourself through this world effectively.
Whatever you decide, I wish you whatever luck there is in this world. Enjoy being a student while you can. You might dream of a steady job with a good salary and all that, but I assure you, being in college are the happiest times for most people. I miss it with a longing that I can't put into words.
Again, good luck.

Find a mentor who will get you started making money on affiliate marketing (driving traffic to websites selling products -- even Apple uses affiliates) using free techniques.

Eventually you will be able to scale your business with paid techniques (classifieds, Pay Per Click Ads etc.) and make a handsome living working just a couple of hours each day.

Let me know if you know if you need me to entertain specifics.

I feel for you but unless you are willing to put in a real commitment then you probably aren't going to make much of anything more than chump change. It takes time to build any real cash flow, regardless of whether or not it is based on the internet.

Namaste

I just recently graduated college However I do understand the whole "I'm a broke college student". In regards to your question... I know there is a ton of free-lance work you could do. Anything from data collection (which might not sound too exciting), there is tons of web design and development (my major in college). But you seem to be looking for something less committed. You can be a free-lance writer, choose the topics you want to write about and get paid. Is not much, but the more hours and more articles you write the more you can make. I wish I could answer your question about surveys, but the only thing I ever heard about them is that it takes a lot of work and they usually don't pay that well.

Anyways, good luck and hope you find something.

Emmanuel
