Well, I personally monetize my links, and have yet to try these. but here ya go!




1. Online surveys
For a few minutes of form filling, you can make a couple of bucks which is paid in cash or as rewards. You can bag up to 5$ for some surveys!
A few good ones to try are: Toluna, Vivatic, OnePoll, MySurvey, SurveyBods, Valued Opinions, YouGov, PopulusLive
Also sign up for Swagbucks which rewards you for surveys as well as simply surfing the web, watching videos and playing games.


2. Start your own website
Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by anyone with a  bit of knowledge. It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetize 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.
Read Owen's step-by-step guide on how to start a website in 20 minutes. It's really one of the best assets you can have.

3 . Review music for money
It can take a while to build up your reputation but some users of the site have said that they earn £40 a month. This may not sound like much, but if it's something you enjoy then it shouldn't be hard work and is another thing for your CV. Money you earn will be in $US but anyone can sign up and review.
