00:00 Are you looking for ideas for passive income for students where you potentially can earn thousands of dollars per month? Then this video is for you. My name is Mikael and I love testing different ways to make money online and I made money online for years. And many people have asked me what the best passive ways to earn online for students is. And therefore, I decided to record this video where I will show you my top eight recommended methods for this. So let me just start by going over what I mean with passive income because I’ve seen a lot
00:35 of information both on websites and on YouTube videos where people show all kind of passive income ideas for students that has nothing to do with passive income. Because it’s like you know go find a a job online. Well that’s not passive income. So of course passive income is a very hype term and it really depends how you define it. What I will go over are a different method, some of them are completely passive. So that means it takes a couple of minutes to set up then you can earn without doing anything extra. Others will take some more setting up and some maintenance where you
01:08 keep doing once in a while but by passive I mean that that means that when you don’t do that also. You will earn for example also earn while you’re sleeping, while you’re traveling, while you’re on holiday, while you are studying, while you’re on classes whatever you do, then you will also earn. Some of the methods will earn just a tiny bit of extra money on the side. Others have huge earning potential where you potentially can build it up thousands of dollars per month. So of course the ones
01:33 with the highest earning potential also requires more continuous effort. The ones with the lowest they maybe just takes a few minutes and then you never have to think about it again. So which of the methods are the absolute best that really depends on the time you’re willing to put in to this and also your income expectations. But I’ll explain all about what the different methods require and the earning potential of each of them and then you can decide for yourself which of the methods that
01:58 are the best for you. So let’s get started. So the first obvious way to earn some money online as a student is by selling study notes because there are actually websites that is offering this. I am right now on just one example of this, you can search online in your country because usually which options are available depends on your country. But this is one option where you can see, you can upload your study notes, you set your price, and then you can sometimes sell them multiple times. And you can see some say that the top sellers earn thousands of dollars. But of
02:30 course this will take time to earn that much. And you can see that it’s this particular platform there it’s a minimum amount of $1.5 per document. What you just need to be aware with something like this of course just because you upload your notes there is no guarantee that you will actually make sales. It’s not necessarily that easy to actually make the sales. But it is easy to of course upload the documents but you should not expect this to build up to like huge amounts unless you also put in quite a bit of effort. But this particular one here, you see they
03:03 pay out once you’ve earned $20 there. They pay out via PayPal. So in general, I’m not saying that this is the absolute best platform, this is just to show you one example. There are other platforms you can just search online selling study notes in your country, you know, your country name there and then you’ll find some different options. So this can be a method. The next option I want to talk about is affiliate marketing. And this is actually the option with the most most or the highest earning potential out of the options here on this list here. And affiliate marketing
03:36 is basically where you recommend some kind of product or service to someone else and then you get paid a commissions for doing that. So it’s basically also like you’ve seen many local places, maybe have like a refer a friend program where you get something if you refer a friend. But if you do this online and learn the right steps to do it with affiliate marketing, then you can scale this and potentially earn thousands of dollars monthly. I have done this myself so I know it is possible from scratch no matter your background. And why affiliate marketing is such a great way to make
04:08 money online is because you don’t have to invest in any inventory, in any products. You don’t have to deal with customer service or anything, things like that. You’re basically just connecting people that are looking for something. You’re helping them with quality information and connecting them with whatever they are looking for. So you’re kind of a middleman and then you get paid for that. What you need to be aware of that because it also has the earning potential, it also requires quite a bit of setup. It’s not something where you will start earning immediately and also you have
04:37 to continuously put in effort. Of course so it’s not a get-rich quick scheme or anything like that but if you are willing to put in time and effort, and this can be done on the side while studying also to learn how to do this, to build up a real business with affiliate marketing, then it can really build up. And for example me now personally even when I sleep, I make money. Wven when I travel, no matter what I do, I earn. And that is the beauty of affiliate marketing. But it does require continuous effort. So it is not for everyone. But if you think this sounds interesting for you, I will
05:12 leave a link below to more information about my top recommended to learn this exact steps that I have taken to actually build a full-time income with affiliate marketing. But also, I will leave links to more information about all the options here I mentioned in this video here. But let’s now move on to the next option. Next we have an option for you to earn passively if you have a car. There are several different platforms that offer to put ads on your car and then you will actually earn for doing that. One of them is this called Wrapify, this is just one example. There’s another one
05:45 here called StickerRide. So there are different options. So you can see this is kind of a picture so this maybe could be your car looking like this. So you will have to be willing to drive around. They will of course both put the ads on your car and make sure to take it off again without damaging the car and all that. You can potentially earn hundreds of dollars per month by doing this. So if you don’t mind having your car look like something like this here, you can see then this is something
06:13 you could potentially earn. This one has has a good calculator. You see here if you have less covered then what can you earn. So if you only have small ads like this then you could potentially earn up to 280 dollars per month. So whether it’s worth it or not, that really depends on you. But it’s definitely a passive to earn some extra money. So the next option is to earn by sharing your unused internet bandwidth. There are several platforms like this. So what you need to do is to just install it on your computer, on your phone, whenever you’re online, you will earn by sharing your unused
06:44 internet bandwidth. One popular option is Honeygain. Another one is called Pawns. A third one is called GetGrass. At the time recording this video, this is kind of still a little bit unknown because they haven’t actually started to give value for what you earn yet. But they have big plans so that one is kind of like a little bit more known you have to figure that out yourself whether you want to bet on that or not. The two others they already pay paid for years. I have full written reviews of all these three options on my website, also joining links where you can get an extra bonus if
07:15 you join through that. I will leave a link to those reviews below. It takes a few minutes to set up. The earning potential is also limited, it will be a few extra dollars here and there but also one of the the earning methods here that requires the least effort. The next option is to become something like a cashier or an online peer-to-peer cashier. For example, with AirTM, you see if you go here, I also have a link for for them here. I’ll leave a link to that below. So you can go and sign up, become
07:47 an AirTM cashier. That’s something you can do just whenever it it fits you. So it requires you to to actually of course do these transactions. So not completely passive but passive in the way that you don’t really have to commit to anything. You can just do it once in a while whenever you want to. Of course the more effort, the more earnings you will do also. So you can see what exactly means is that if you sign up for AirTM for example, there are different users, and AirTM has a huge platform. So it’s something you can do from from anywhere. You of course first need to do certain
08:18 transactions get approved all these things, verify your identity. It’s not something you can join and get access to right away. It requires you to first be approved because what you will do is to complete these transactions for other users. It doesn’t take long. And you can see the top earners here earn up to $750 per month. But of course then it wouldn’t really be passive then you would have to spend a lot of time. But you can just do it once in a while, do a few transactions. But what will take time is first that you need to become a cashier, you need to be approved for that. You can go on
08:51 the website there read all about it. For example, you need to have your account you need to have it verified. You need to do certain transactions because they of course don’t just let anyone that just joins, do it. So that’s something you need to be aware of. It’s not for everyone but it’s something that I’ve been asked about. I think it’s kind of an interesting way to earn a bit extra without any particular commitment. That’s why I want to mention it here. So when it comes to earning passively we also have to talk about crypto. And crypto investment means that of course
09:20 you know if you invest in the right things, the right coins, and you just wait and then it goes up and then you can potentially earn good money. However, it’s just of course not as easy it sounds. But I just feel like I do have to mention it here. I think crypto has huge potential myself also. But if that’s something you want to do, you know, it can definitely something you should do a lot of research, learn more about what coins to invest in, when to buy, when to sell, and all these things. Or
09:48 just get coins that you believe in the long-term potential then you invest. You don’t think about it. Just hold on to it sometimes for years and then you will have earned by doing that. Of course this does require quite a bit of in investment to get a good return but you can also invest in crypto with you know like $10 if you want to. But of course then the earning potential is also limited. But personally, I think crypto has huge potential and it’s something that I personally spend quite a bit of time learning more about and I would definitely recommend that do a lot
10:18 of your own research. Do not just jump in because you hear YouTube videos saying like oh buy this you know. Like do your own research. Be clever about it. But if you then are then it definitely can be a great way to earn. But of course be aware that it’s also way where you potentially can lose your money if you choose the wrong options. Next I want to talk about getting paid to walk. And you can say like well is that really passively. Well it is in the sense that you don’t have to do anything
10:46 extra. You just install something, for example like Sweatcoin, that’s one example. I do have a list of the best get paid to walk apps on my website, I’ll leave a link to that below also. One of my favorites is Sweatcoin. So you just install it and then you have your phone with you when you’re walking anyways and then you will earn a little bit in the background. This has very limited earning potential but again you don’t really have to do anything. The reason I use Sweatcoin is because I kind of like keeping in track on my steps anyways. So instead of just using any step
11:19 counter, I can use Sweatcoin and then I can earn a little bit extra even though it’s not a lot you know. Why not get that at the same time? The last option I wanted to talk about is cashback sites. Because cashback means that whenever you shop online, in many cases, sometimes you can even also get it when you shop in physical shops. That means that if you shop through a certain link on a platform, then you get a percentage of what you are going to spend anyways back into your account. So that means you’re not doing anything extra. You’re just doing the shopping you want to do
11:49 anyways. You just get a percentage of what you’re spending anyways back into your account. And some of the best platforms for that for example is Swagbucks, MyPoints. You can use something like Crypto.com. There are many different options here. I have this full list here on my website. I’ll leave link to that below then you can go and read more about the different options you have for these cashback sites. So as you can see, if you are looking for ways to either earn extra money on the side passively or potentially really big money as a student, then there are some great options. Some
12:21 of them are super easy, super fast to get started with. Others will require continuous effort. But then the earning potential is also a lot bigger. As mentioned, the options I mentioned here I will leave links to more information below. So you can easily get started with the options that you think are right for you.
