Best 10 Online Jobs for Students in 2022

(0)

For most of college, I worked jobs that required me to be physically present. My employment at the post office required me to work in the mailroom, whereas my position as an English department assistant required me to work in the department office.

However, when I began writing for a website during my sophomore year, I received my first taste of internetwork. While it would take a few more years for it to become my primary source of income, I was hooked on the freedom that internet employment provides. 


Best 10 Online Jobs for Students in 2022
Best 10 Online Jobs for Students in 2022



I've compiled a list of the finest online jobs for college students to help you reap some of the same rewards. You don't need a degree to acquire any of these occupations, and many of them need talents you already have (or can learn the skills in a few afternoons). So, if you're ready to give up working in an office for the convenience of working from home, keep reading.


1. Photography 

While the video is currently the most popular form of media, photography is not going away anytime soon. Skilled photographers are still in high demand, both for photographing subjects and for editing those photographs into a final product.

And, given the quality of today's phone cameras, you may already have all of the necessary equipment.

It's worth:

According to PayScale, an average photographer's hourly rate is roughly $25.

What you may charge, however, is determined by your level of expertise and the amount of editing and post-production work you can complete.

To acquire the position, follow the steps below.

First, attend a course to learn how to capture beautiful images.

After that, begin snapping photographs. If you can afford it, investing in a professional camera will be really beneficial. More information on how to pick one may be found here.

You may then use your website to create a portfolio of your images.

Begin your freelancing career by doing little jobs for friends and family. Then, as your portfolio expands, expand from there.


2. Offer Your Notes for Sale

It takes talent to take excellent notes. If you have that ability, you may cash in on it by selling your notes. Don't worry, everything is perfectly legal, and getting started is simple.

What it is worth:

You may make up to $500 each class on sites like StudySoup.

In practice, you'll probably earn less, but if you're already good at taking notes, this is still a good method to make money.

How to apply for the job:

  • To begin, create a StudySoup account.
  • Then, look for classes that are suitable and sign up to be a note-taker for them.
  • On a weekly basis, upload your notes.
  • Upload a study plan based on your notes in the weeks leading up to tests.
  • After each exam, you'll be paid 3–5 days later.


3. Online polls (Surveys)

If you're looking for a way to make some additional cash in your leisure time, internet surveys are a terrific way to go. They don't require any special abilities other than the ability to utilize the internet.


While doing surveys won't make you rich, they can be a more constructive way to pass the time between courses.

What it is worth:

The majority of polls pay between $1 and $3 for each survey.

You're generally limited to a specific amount of surveys each day, and they take a few minutes to complete.

So, instead of replacing your salary, you're looking at some extra spending money.

Also, keep in mind that many survey sites have a set minimum compensation. For example, before you can payout on Survey Junkie, you must have $5 (500 points) on your account.

How to apply for the job:

  • Sign up for a survey site like Survey Junkie first.
  • After that, respond to a few questions about yourself.
  • After that, you'll be able to start doing surveys.
  • I'm a survey hound.


4. Transcription of audio

Computers are improving their ability to recognize and comprehend human speech, but they remain far from flawless.

As a result, persons who can listen to audio and convert it into written words are still in demand. This is the talent of audio transcribing, and it may be a flexible method to supplement your income while working from home.

What it is worth:

Rev, one of the leading audio transcription firms, pays $0.36 each minute of audio transcribed to freelancers.

If you can transcribe 10 hours of audio every week, you'll earn $216 per week ($864 per month).

Experienced transcriptionists might make up to twice as much. Transcribing Outsourcing, which specializes in legal and medical transcription, charges $0.80 to $1.10 per minute.

How to apply for the job:

All you need are excellent listening abilities and typing skills.

Applying at a site like Rev or Transcription Outsourcing is the simplest way to get started.

After that, you'll take a transcribing test.

If you pass the test, you'll be able to start working right away.


5. Create your own YouTube channel

The need for video material is unquenchable, and YouTube caters to a large amount of it. You may profit from part of this tremendous demand for video if you can develop an entertaining and fascinating YouTube channel.

You'll probably never be as famous as Pewdiepie or Casey Neistat, but you can definitely make a full-time living as a YouTuber (particularly if you can find sponsorships).


What it is worth:

It might be anything from a few additional bucks per month to a full-time job.

It all comes down to the quality of your films, how much time you have, how well you grasp YouTube's business side and a little luck.

How to apply for the job:

Start with the PolyMatter course if you want to learn how to make animated videos.

Otherwise, have a look at the video-producing 101 courses.

After that, take a listen to a discussion on how to get started on YouTube.

Finally, begin posting videos on a regular basis. With each film, you create, strive to enhance your video editing and narrative skills.

Be patient; you won't notice immediate results with this method.


6. Input of data

Computers are stronger than ever at processing data, yet they still have a hard time digitizing handwritten writings. As a result, data entry is still a viable source of income.

Taking data from one source/format and translating it into another is what data entry is all about (usually a spreadsheet or database management system.) It's a job that practically anyone can accomplish if they're organized and efficient.

What it is worth:

The average hourly wage for data entry workers is $12.92, according to PayScale.

However, I've heard from friends that it's feasible to make twice as much, especially if you know how to use Excel.

How to apply for the job:

To execute this work, you only need to be proficient in English, have good typing abilities, and be familiar with spreadsheets.

Posting your skills on a marketplace like Fiverr or Upwork is your best shot at landing a data entry job.

Take an Excel training course to improve your employability.


7. Graphic Designer, Freelance

Another time-honored industry for freelancing is graphic design. You may create everything from a basic logo to a whole brochure. You may also create entertaining drawings for blog posts, as Ashley does at College Info Geek.

What it is worth:

The average hourly wage for a freelance graphic designer is $30, according to PayScale.

However, if you bill by the project rather than the hour, you may typically make more money.

If you charge $150 for a logo that takes you only two hours to create, your effective hourly cost is now $75.

How to apply for the job:

You don't need to be a graphic design student to achieve this, but you will require graphic design abilities, which you can acquire rapidly online. I'd recommend starting with this course on the fundamentals of graphic design (which most people don't understand) or this course on Adobe Illustrator's ins and outs.

You may place your designs in a portfolio on your website once you have a few.

Look for jobs in your neighborhood, on social media, and on sites like Upwork.


8. Closed captioning for videos job

Search in youtube videos, and you can see an example of closed captioning. Hundreds of videos with subtitles are published on the internet every day.

Video captioners convert the audio from a video into a written form, similar to how audio transcriptionists convert recorded phone conversations or interviews into text.

They also match the audio with the video and use text to communicate any noises from the video. Because this takes a little more talent than audio transcription, the pay is usually a little more.

What it is worth:

Rev's captioners charge $0.45 for each minute of video captioning.

Transcribing 10 hours of video each week will cost you $270 per week ($1,080 per month).

Captioners with more expertise can earn up to $0.75 each minute of video.

How to apply for the job:

All you need are typing and listening/watching abilities.

You may register on a website like Rev.

After that, you'll take a captioning test.

If you pass, you will be able to begin getting jobs.


9. Work with Voiceovers job

While computers are growing better at replicating human speech, it's still very simple to recognize the difference between a synthetic and a genuine voice.

As a result, professionals who can deliver high-quality narration for instructional films and other media are in high demand. You can accomplish this profession if you have audio recording equipment and an excellent speaking voice.

What it is worth:

A friend of mine who works part-time in this industry earns about $25 for every voiceover she records.

Given that the entire process of recording and publishing the audio takes (at most) an hour, this is lucrative side employment.

How to apply for the job:

Headphones, a simple microphone, and audio recording software are all required (you can just use whatever program comes with your computer).

I propose advertising your voiceover skills on a freelancing marketplace like Fiverr after you have the necessary equipment.


10. Translation job

As a freelance translator, you may make high money if you can write effectively in a foreign language and grasp the fundamentals of professional translation.

Translators translate a wide range of works (from plays to instruction manuals) into another language. It's also simpler than ever to get translation employment, thanks to the advent of translation markets.

What it is worth:

According to ZipRecruiter, the average hourly rate for a freelance translation is $29.

Your salary will, however, vary depending on your level of expertise and the intricacy of the projects you work on.

How to apply for the job:

To begin, you must be able to communicate in at least two languages.

You also need to know how translation works, which is a talent in and of itself. You should take a course in it at your institution if possible.

After that, advertise your skills on freelancing platforms and read this advice to become a freelance translator.


11. Arbitrage in the retail sector job

The technique of going to a store, buying products that are cheaper than online, and then reselling those items online for a profit is known as retail arbitrage.

It's not really an "online" profession because you'll have to go to actual businesses and send products. However, if you enjoy bargain shopping, it's a chance to turn your hobby into additional cash.

What it is worth:

It's difficult to locate data on typical wages because this is a more "entrepreneurial" endeavor. However, if you do this on a regular basis (and are excellent at it), you may easily make a few hundred dollars more every month (or more).

How to apply for the job:

To begin, get an app like Amazon Seller (Android | iOS).

Then scan things using that app to see if you can get them cheaper than on Amazon.

Finally, purchase the items and profitably sell them on Amazon.


12. Selling Art job

The days of just being able to buy art through a gallery are long gone. You may buy art online these days, regardless of your budget or preferences. This is a fantastic chance for artists.

What it is worth:

You might expect to make a few hundred dollars extra every month if you sell paintings part-time.

However, it all depends on the product you're selling and how much time/effort it takes to make it.

A t-shirt print of your art, for example, will require less time and effort to sell than an original item.

How to apply for the job:

I'm going to presume you already have artistic abilities and concentrate on the sales/marketing side of things. It's essential to have an Instagram account for your work, as well as a website.

You may then choose whether to sell your work on your own website or through a third-party platform like Etsy.


13. Assistant Virtual (VA) job

Many busy people want assistance, but they lack the financial means to engage a personal assistant in person. Virtual assistants can help with this. They take care of things like answering emails, scheduling appointments, and just much everything else digital that a busy individual doesn't have time for.

What it is worth:

According to Indeed, the typical virtual assistant in the United States earns $16 per hour.

As a VA, though, you may make up to $10,000 per month.

How to apply for the job:

The most vital things to have are strong organizational and communication abilities.

You may then use a platform like Upwork or Fiverr to sell your services.

You might also check into a VA agency like Zirtual (just make sure your classes don't interfere with the needed hours).
