Online Business?? Please help a struggling college student!?

I am a 19 year old college student with a bit of a problem :/

Problem: I work a full time job at a warehouse, where everyday I seem to be breaking my back just to pay the bills. I get home very tired and feel like my school work suffers. I support myself and rent a single room, pay for gas, food etc. just like everyone else.

Question: Is there some way I can make money online that pays decent and is NOT a scam? I have a lot of internet experience, I can type 60wpm. I learn very quickly and
I DO expect to actually work for my money, just鈥?. online

This seems better for me so I can have more time to study. And I am not looking for some get rich quick scheme, I only need to make around 1000$ a month to cover necessities

I have seen these 鈥渄rop shipping鈥?and 鈥渄ata entry鈥?jobs and 鈥渙nline businesses鈥?and
I just don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 right for me

Well, you could check out that SMC thing Tom Bosley from Happy Days is spokesperson for....

But why not just start you own little business. Go the entrepreneurial route.

If you're good a typing and have a strong command of word processor and publishing programs on your computer, start a publishing service. Nothing big or fancy. Resumes, newsletters, maybe even offer typing services to other college students on research papers.

All that would take is a little advertising on campus or setting up a little website for advertising and contact purposes. Start-up expenses shouldn't be too demanding for your budget.

Another option is offering freelance clerical/secretarial assistance to businesses. Again a website would help.

You might also check your local small business bureau on any requirements you'd have to meet to operate as a sole-proprietor business.

Hope that helps.

P.S. - Though your goal of $1,000 may seem excessive to some answerers, don't let their voices become splinters of doubt in your mind.

Here's a little exercise that might help:

Set your goals. Envision yourself already having accomplished them (really put yourself into that moment in your mind). Then, as if looking back from that perspective on the process, imagine how you got there. What path did you take to get there? What pitfalls do you imagine having happened that you overcame.

Then, (like Nike says) just do it.

Good luck.

People have told me a lot about an online travel business called YTB (www.ytb.com) It is where you have your own travel website (they set it up and maintain it for you) and you make 60% of each trips commision. So if someone took a $4,000 cruise, you make around $400. I haven't done it yet, but you should look on their website, maybe it's for you.

Well their is really no online job that pays around the amount said. I have a sister that is 19 and she makes around $120 a day working as a waitress.

So maybe getting into the restaurant business wouldn't be such a bad idea. But make sure its a busy restaurant you would want some good tips $$$.
Good luck!!

I own my own marketing business...
I advertise and promote internet purchases from
companies and they pay percentages for the profits made..
You have a couple ways of making money...the ones I use are selling the product myself and getting more people into the business it self...

P.S. really good for long term also...

I am an affiliate for a web hosting company. I go to USF, so I definitely know what you are talking about.

We're geared towards taking websites into local businesses. Since more people are buying online, it gives them the opportunity to take advantage of that market. I make about 5-8 sales per week. I cant give you exact commission but my average per week is about $400. On a bad week it could be $200.

This program is kinda make money online.

It doesn't cost anything to sign up, and you don't "have to" buy a product.

But if you work hard in your spear time, or make it full time, you can make some serious cash. Payments are made via Paypal.

It cant hurt to check it out.

I understand your pain but setting goals of "need to make around 1000$ a month to cover necessities" probably is shooting a bit too high for now, one option would be to find another part-time job that pays about the same but not requires lots of physical activity like working at Starbucks, hence you won't too tired to study after work. Then, think about selling some good stuff (product or service) to your fellow students, and make some extra money, but make sure what you sell has real value, or you'll lose friends.
