Although you are studying in school, it is always fun to earn while you learn. You can make money in several ways even when you go to school, and it even feels great when you start making money early in life as it teaches you real marketing skills, and how you can use your talents to make a fortune when you study. Below are some of the ideas by which you can make money while you are studying in school.

1. Give your comics or movies on rent:
As a school-going student, you may be having some comics and story books or even movies that you may have watched several times. When I was a kid, I used to get one new movie CD on my birthday, which I used to watch and then those were just part of my collection.

You can rent out those comics or movies to your friends or your neighborhood for cheaper rates. This will help you earn some bucks without even investing anything upfront. You can even keep late fees or rent your comics and movies on a day-to-day basis, and hence you will end up having a constant flow of passive income.

This is awesome because you also learn how to manage inventory. For this, you can use a simple pen and paper to track your clients or can even create a spreadsheet on your laptop.

2. Check the stuff you don't need and sell them:
As a school-going kid, you usually have piles of notebooks or study materials that you may not need because you may have been promoted to new classes. You may even have clothes or some items that are of no use to you. In that case, you can sell them at a cheaper rate, which will help some needy students to get hold of those important study materials and you will also earn a few bucks.

Just ensure not to sell something that you may be attached to or your parents may be attached to. You can take permission from your parents before selling your stuff.

3. Create a blog:
Blogs are one of the best ways to build your empire as a student, and that is because as a student, you are always learning something new. Therefore, you can add those details to a blog or website. This may require you to ask for some funding from your parents if you are going for a professional website, or for some time you can also use free blogging websites like thewiki Network.

You can easily register and start writing blogs on your new learnings or your day-to-day experiences. This will be like a guiding star for new generations, as they may also have similar situations like you, and your solutions can help them, hence making their life easy.

To monetize this, you can either set up advertisements or can also write sponsored posts once your blog starts getting good traffic. To get more traffic, you can share your blogs with your friends and connections, and this will also encourage local vendors to connect with you for advertisements.

4. Sell newspapers or cans in scrap:
Usually, households have a lot of newspapers and cans or even glass bottles that get accumulated over time. You can sell those items into scrap and can make a few cents that you can save to buy something in the near future. This is one of the most efficient ways because most countries have scrap buyers in the locality, and you can always take your parent's help in doing so, and they will also be happy to help you.

This is because usually newspapers, plastic bottles, glass, and even cans get thrown into garbage collection bins in apartment or societies, which is not of any value to you, but if you are able to sell them, then you can make a few cents to meet some of your school requirements as well.

5. Take Tuition of Students in Lower Classes than You:
If you feel you are good in any of the subjects, you can take the tuition of the students that are in lower grades or classes for some tuition fee. I used to go for my maths tuition to one of my friends who was good in maths, and for that, he used to charge me around $5 per month, which was reasonable, as it helped me a lot and I was also able to pass the examination with flying colors.

6. If you are good with pets, then work as a pet sitter:
Pet sitting is one of the most underrated jobs. These days in societies and apartment groups, most of the families have pets and they need to take pets for a walk. If you love dogs, you can also work as a pet sitter or a dog walker, and this will actually fetch you some good amounts of money.

Also, it will help you make some new furry friends and you will always be happy and healthy as you will also make a habit of walking every day to take dogs for a walk.

7. Car Cleaning Services:
These days, car cleaning services have sky rocketed, and hence you can come to the rescue. You can advertise in your local groups that you can clean some cars in the morning or evening time for a set amount of money, and people usually are happy to pay a few dollars to get their cars cleaned on a daily basis. This will not earn you a lot of money, but at least you will have something for yourself and you will also be strong as it takes a bit of hard work to clean cars.

8. Check in your school for any open positions:
Schools usually have activity clubs or editorial boards, where they usually take students. You can apply for those positions and that can also help you make some money while you learn new things in your day to day life.

Someone has rightly said, saving a penny is equivalent to earning a penny.

So you can always try to save some money by;

• Shopping on discount - You can go to stores that offer good discounts, or can even look for coupons and promo codes online. This will again help you save some bucks every month.
• Open a Savings Account - If you already have some money or if you get some pocket money, then you should open a savings account, as banks provide some interest on your savings also. So if you have some money, you can actually make some interest on the save while it is kept in your savings account. It is not much, but it is still enough to get a new pen every month.
• Having a piggie bank - Piggie Banks are one of the best tools to save the coins and extra change that seem worthless and may fall down. So, what I usually do is that, I always put my change and coins in my piggie bank and after a few months when it is full, then I break it down and take all that money to buy the things that I want or I simply add them to my savings account to earn more interest.

Conslucion:
There are several ways by which you can make money as a student, you just need to figure out ways by which you can sell or market a service or product. This will eventually help you in making some money and also enhance your interpersonal and marketing skills, which is a mandate for most of the jobs these days.

Although it is never recommended to create blogs on a free blogging website, you can still manage to create your blogs for free, and that too on a trusted website, that will help you at least start your career in blogging.

First, understand why we don't encourage creating blogs on free hosting sites, and there are several issues with free blogging websites. For example;

1. You may not be able to use AdSense or some other way of monetizing your blog if you are using free web or blog hosting.
2. Free blogging websites may shut down their business and hence you may lose your content.
3. If something happens or if your free blogging site was hacked, your personal information will also be with the hackers.
4. You may be limited to how many users can you have or how much traffic you can have on your blog.
5. Free blogging websites are usually for personal use.

Having listed all the above problems, I still want you to start your blogging journey with less or no money so that you can make a living writing blogs and creating articles or simply following your passion.

There are two main ways to start blogging;

1. Using Blogging Websites like thewiki Network: Websites like thewiki Network allow users to create blogs and personal profiles. You can post your blogs and work to create your brand, and because this network is a trusted brand hence you don't have to fear it getting closed anytime soon.
   
   New bloggers can set up their profiles and can also use them as a repository for their work, which they can share along with their resumes. This helps in showcasing your abilities to potential employers whenever they try to search for you.
   
   One of the best ways to monetize your profile on thewiki Network is by allowing Guest Posts.
   
   Consider you have good reach globally because you have been using thewiki Network for some time now. Your articles get indexed on Google and other Search Engines easily, because of which brands would like to connect with you to post their articles or at least mention their products and services. For doing so, you can be paid a hefty amount.
   
   You can also monetize your profile by advertising for big brands that may connect with you and would like to place their ads on your profile. This is a great way to monetize your profile and create a brand for yourself as well.
   
   One of the reasons that I recommend it for freshers is because freshers can post several blogs without paying anything, which helps them in getting good practice on their writing skills and they also get good exposure initially because thewiki Network is also Google News Approved, but ensure that you are adding content that is not plagiarized and is long at least 1000 words and above. This will get your blog or article an instant hit whenever you will post it.
   
   This is not possible on other blogging websites like Medium etc, where people are limited if they are not premium users and hence this also limits the number of articles one can post, and hence the practice remains at the backend always.
   
   You can even use thewiki Network to check how good your article is even before posting it on your own website. This is because any article that you post on thewiki Network gets indexed by Google and other Search Engines in a few minutes, therefore whenever you add a new article, you can see its potential and also check if it is good enough and how it may perform in the future.
    
2. Use Blogger Dot Com: Blogger Dot Come is another website that you can use to create your own blogs for free and that too without any coding knowledge.
   
   You can simply sign up with Blogger and set up your blog on their subdomains. For example, yourname.blogger.com
   
   This ensures that you have an idea of how you use your own websites. Having said that there is one good news for blogger users, and that they can even use Google Adsense for monetizing their blogs, which might not be possible on other websites.
   
   Also, because it is a product of Google itself, therefore you can even have full confidence that this website will not get shut down any time soon. One more thing, you will get good hands-on ideas about how to use websites and can even go deep into understanding how to install themes and add-ons to make your website more professional looking.
   
   I still remember using Blogger as my first blogging website, because at that time I was not having good finances, and blogging was one of the few things that I started to do. I started a travel blog and then added recipes on the same. But obviously that I used to do it as my hobby and not as a job-seeking opportunity. Hence it never grew after a certain point when I started working more formal jobs.

These two methods are the best ones that I can suggest today, because, at the end of the day, you also need to have all your content safe in one place, and storing it on your computer never does anything good. Any article you write should be on a blogging website because there it will start getting traffic and this is how people from across different territories and timespans connect with each other.

Consider this like your bank account. If you are earning money, you should have it in your bank account or else money will only lose its value on a daily basis, and when it is in your account in that case it will keep on earning interest.

Similarly, when you post your articles on blog websites or on the above-mentioned websites, you keep on generating traffic on your articles and hence increasing your ability to make a fortune someday.

Also, if you have a profile and all your articles in one place, you have something to show your potential clients or companies that hire. I have seen people not having their articles on their blogging websites because of which they have to share PDF files and Word files with their potential clients.

This creates clutter in the email and also makes it difficult for people to navigate through your articles, and if they are using their mobile phones, in that case, most of them would prefer your articles in an online format.

On the other hand, if you have all your blogs in an online format, then it becomes easier for clients to navigate through your repository and the work that you have done. It also looks more professional to see a published article rather than sharing PDF files. Having said that a published article is also more responsive to mobile screens, making it easier for people to view your articles.

Conclusion;
It is easy to set up your blogs online and that too for free, just ensure that you use the above two mentioned websites, and if you want to rank faster on Search Engines, then you can surely use thewiki Network.

Although Blogger is also good, you will see results much faster if you use thewiki Network and can also create your own profile and can add articles much faster by just registering on it. Moreover, if you want a more website-like interface so that you are able to experience subdomains, then you can go for Blogger.

Just take this step and register for the services and start hitting your keyboard to start writing, and you will soon see the results.

thewiki Network is also like a small writers community where you can ask questions and grow with the community by asking questions and referring to materials and other professional bloggers, which will ultimately help you grow big.
