this page you'll find all
the best ways to make
money in your spare time
whilst at university based on
our own experience. We'll
keep adding new ways to this
page so go ahead and
bookmark it. And please do
share your own ideas in the comments!
1. No-risk matched betting
Hands down the quickest way to make
a lot of money (well, without breaking
the law). Lots of students have
genuinely made £100s from this
technique. It's completely legal, risk
free, tax free, and anyone can do it.
It works by taking advantage of free
bets regularly offered by betting sites
through 'matching' them at a betting
exchange. Matched betting eliminates
the risk (you are betting both for and
against a certain outcome).
This leaves you being able to squeeze
out the free bet, which can be as
much as £200! Multiply this by how
many betting sites there are and you
can quite easily come away with a
profit of a few hundred pounds.
Owen walks you through how to make
your first £15 profit (using a real life
example) in this gem of a guide to
matched betting. If you know of any
better way to make £30/hr sitting at
home, please let us know!
2. Online surveys

An increasingly popular way for
students to make money is to fill out
online surveys in their spare time.
Research companies are always
recruiting new members to answer
surveys and test new products.
For a few minutes of form filling, you
can make a couple of quid which is
paid as cash or rewards. You can bag
up to £3 ($5) for some surveys!
A few good ones to try are:
Toluna , Vivatic, MySurvey, Valued
Opinions, IPSOS, Global Test Market ,
The Opinion Panel, Crowdology ,
YouGov , Pinecone, OnePoll,
SurveyBods , PopulusLive , Hiving,
PanelBase, MintVine, Opinion
Outpost , Harris Poll , Mind Mover, New
Vista, iPoll .
Also sign up for Swagbucks which
rewards you for surveys as well as
simply surfing the web, watching
videos and playing games.

3. Paid for searching the web
Interested in earning cash for doing
what you already do online? This has
to be one of the easiest methods of
making money online without really any
effort or change in your behavior.
This innovative idea by Qmee.com
rewards you for searching in Google,
Bing or Yahoo. You just install a simple
add-on to your browser and when you
conduct a search there may be a few
sponsored results alongside your
normal search.
Each Qmee result has a cash reward
attached – if you are interested in it
simply click on it and collect your

from your own searches! Click here to

4. Online market trading
The historically hard-to-break world of
investing in stock markets and
currencies has been cracked wide
open. Today there is no need to be a
fat cat or fund the yachts of Wolf of
Wall Street style stock brokers. You can
do it all yourself with the help of online
market trading platforms.
Having spent many hours researching
this new opportunity, I've been
experimenting with the two biggest
platforms: Plus500 and eToro.com .
Both offer free practice accounts, and
Plus500 also give you a free £20
(without depositing, terms apply) for
their CFD service which is worth taking
up. Overall I prefer eToro with over
4.5 million users worldwide. It was
recently featured in the BBC 2
documentary "Traders: Millions by the
Minute" and the Financial Tim
