This will sound silly, but it's not that hard to make $1k per month playing online poker... if you're moderately mathy and have good self-control, you can make a bunch of money. If you don't have good self-control, then yeah, pick something else.

We said not scammy :).

I'm on the same road as you. I'm attending my second year at my uni and I only need ~200-300 per month to manage transportation to and from each month. I'm a programmer/designer/philosopher/bioinformatics nerd. My schedule varies too much to get a regular part time job. I started down the path of niche sites. Devoting a ridiculous amount of time into writing articles for them. A quick glance of webmaster tools has me…

for the fiverr thing, you offered shady seo techniques for money? if so, then why didn't you ever try blackhat or automated whitehat sites?

May I ask why you are stating "online" in the question title? I mean, wouldn't you be interesting in developing the next firmware for a tablet for example? Aren't there any computer company in your area who is looking for a student 10h/week for automating test scenarios or remodeling one of their database? That would not only make you meet professionals but also would enrich your CV probably better than a SEO gig would.

Here is a nifty little trick to make money online with legitimate affiliate marketing. It requires almost no technical skill.

A lot of people ask for buying suggestions on twitter like "Where can I buy $productX ?" or "Which digital camera should I buy?".

You can find them using http://search.twitter.com/search?q=where+buy+%3F

You can try pairing this query with different keyword combinations like http://search.twitter.com/search?q=hdtv+buy+%3F and http://search.twitter.com/search?q=laptop+buy+%3F

Looking at the search results, it seems like such questions pop up every second on twitter.

You can make money by helping those people to make buying decisions. Suggest them a good product or deal, and give them your affiliate link to buy it. If they make the purchase using your link, you'll get affiliate commission for the sale.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you're good at typing then you can try transcribing. We offer freelance transcription jobs. https://callgraph.biz/freelance-transcription The best of our transcribers/reviewers make upwards of $100 per month.

Website says $10/ah. So your best transcribers/reviewers are able to work with only just 10ah/month?

Yes, thats correct. And that is by design.

Try to freelance at your time and schedule. Sites like: www.freelancer.com offer plenty of opportunities.

I support adlep's freelancing suggestion. Depending on what you can do, you could work on 1 job a month and charge your goal income for that job's development. I recommend fully researching your online freelancing options first however should you choose to freelance through a service. All services are not created equal. Look for a service that gives you free escrow and arbitration protection (like vWorker).
