7 Realistic Ways To Make Money Online As A Student

Posted on July 14, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 15 Comments on 7 Realistic Ways To Make Money Online As A Student

Welcome to Campus Times Nigeria, Are you interested in article on ways to make money online as a student or as low income earner? This post contains 7 realistic ways to make money online as a student.

The general perception of most Nigerian students is that online businesses are a scam. But on the contrary, there are notable Nigerian Icons and celebrities who have gone ahead to prove that online money making is real.

People like Linda ikeji, Bella Naija and Seun Osewa (the founder of Nairaland), to mention but a few, have demonstrated that online money making ventures are not merely existing but are true.

How To Make Money Online As A Student

Below, we highlight some realistic or genuine ways to make money online as a student.

START YOUR OWN WEBSITE:
Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It?s the way to make money while you sleep. Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by an 82 year-old. It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetise your site. Save the Student is just one example of a successful website, started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and sizable enterprise.

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.

WRITE AND PUBLISH A KINDLE EBOOK:
If students are good at anything, it?s researching and writing. With the Amazon Kindle store, anyone can publish an eBook and make money and the Kindle app is now available on almost any device so your global market is huge! List your book for ?1.49 ? ?6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal.

FIVERR
Fiverr is now the world?s largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as ?gigs?). What you offer could be absolutely anything, from writing and translating, social media posting, playing pranks and teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people all around the world! The default price is $5 (hence Fiverr..), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money.

Highly Recommended:?Internet Banking From The Comfort Of Your Home

Whilst it might not seem like much, it can quickly add up and there are plenty of examples of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimizes the time spent on each gig. But there is another way to profit even more from Fiverr for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere. For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Upwork or even local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it?s repeatable! If you?re not interested in selling at all there?s So much good stuff you can get done for yourself. Have a browse and get inspired!

BUY AND SELL DOMAIN:
A domain name is just a website address (eg. ?savethestudent.org? or ?mysite.co.uk?) and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc). They cost as little as ?1.99 to register with 123-reg.co.uk or GoDaddy.com yet premium domain names can fetch ?1,000s if not millions when sold on.

Highly Recommended: All You need To Know About Bank Verification Number

In 2007 VacationRentals.com went for a cool $35m! Now you?re probably not going to come across anything like that, but you can still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like Sedo.com.

FREELANCE WORK:
You could do freelancing and get paid daily for your efforts and the best thing about freelancing is that you can work for clients in the UK and around the world with just an internet connection from home, to your own hours whilst developing valuable skills. A great place to start is with the leading freelance site Upwork.com.

SELL CLOTHES ON EBAY:
This is a simple business for ladies, students and even men as well. Here all you need do is advertise and sell clothes on ebay or any other business platform like jumia and get rewarded.
