Matched betting - see the gambling board on this site - will easily net you a grand without risk or much effort. There are several active newbie threads.

Hello.

I myself have just started the matched betting. If you have the patience to keep track of what's going on it can be very profitable, although you do need capital to start with. The good thing with matched betting is that there is a very low risk of losing your money, and a very high chance of breaking even or gaining money.

I guess you were referring to the other medical student re: the selling, but for those that are interested I sell computer components and electrical devices. But for now I'm emptying my room of all the stuff I no longer need - you'd be absolutely amazed how much money is locked up in those items. I calculated in my room I currently have at least £900 worth of stff, and that's just in my desk, not even looking under the bed and in the cupboards.

Cheers and take care.

Hussein.

In that case, I'll be a fourth year soon. Things are starting to heat up now, both figuratively and literally.

I'm selling skincare products and cosmetics, as mentioned in my post. You'll be amazed by the sheer number of men that buys from me. I guess many men are too shy to buy from from skincare counters since the SAs could be quite snotty if you only buy one or two products.

And yes, matched betting. That's a good one.

Hello. did my first two bets yesterday. Won £4.36 in total, which may not sound like much, but when you take into account the £10 bonuses x 2 it works out at £22.92 after comission. Now take whole bunch of matches, bookies and free bonuses and it fair mounts up. And you don't need hundreds of pounds to start either, although obviously the more money you put in, the more you'll get out. There a sort of thrill about going to that page and clicking the 'bet now' button, just remember not to get carried away. Best to use a different account with a debit card, and transfer money into it piecemeal, rather than just using your everyday account where you might drain the balance without knowing it. I don't cherish the thought of my mum killing me because I've run out of money - scrap that, I was running out of money even before I started betting!

Cheers and take care.

How's your writing?

Approach a couple of local newspapers. They might be interested in a weekly piece on health matters, or an "ask the doctor" sort of column?

LOL!

I don't think medical students are qualified enough to run a 'ask the doctor' column! That being said, I have people living in the opposite corridor coming over for 'free' consultations. Advice dispensed at the patient's own risk!

Hi im a art student and I do Betterware from home. It can be hard work, collecting in wet weather. Earnings depend on how many books you put out and the area there in. But it is a way of getting a little bit of cash and you can fit it around your studies. I am about to increase my round as it is the summer holidays, so I should be super super fit by the end of it.

In term time it pays for my petrol costs. Oh and you dont need to buy books or stationary there are provided.

Hi. My mum does Betterware and I can sympathise with you. It is sometimes really a drag for her to go out in the rain to collect books, and chasing up customers for money and not to mention the orders, stuff not being available and chasing up your rep and meeting deadlines for payments.

Cheers and take care.

Most students are in bedsits and don't have the space to hold stock . Kleeneze etc. does work - especially if you are well known in the community , but where are you going to put all your stock ? Seems a lot of work ... I rekon (i do it!) affiliating is a good way to make income (you earn by having a website and making commission from website visitor referals) . It really works if you are willing to promote the site (no visitors = no earnings) simple as that. THe rich students do it by advertising their site around college in dorms or getting a slot in the local rag mag .:j

You have a point there, but do these affiliate programs really work? Unless you are advertising a product or service that people are really going to be interested in, and you can get the word out, its not really going to work. And on that point, what's to stop people just going to the original site? In which case you might as well just sell your own product/services you've bought yourself.

I recently started up my OCR Book Scanning service. So far it's worked well, students want their textbooks in a format that they can view on their computers or mobile phones, exam notes in a format that they can easilymake notes alongside/move them around, and companies want marketing material etc, in electronic formats.

At a rate of about 100 pages an hour, you can get a fairly thick 1000 page textbook done in a couple nights' work.

The scanner I use cost me £140, but it's already paid for itself in about a week.

Might be an idea, I've certainly seen no shortage of demand for this type of thing.

Cheers and take care.
