    Hi all,
    heres my situation. Im hopefully starting a masters programme in a few weeks and am studying in a part of the world where part time work is difficult to come by. Im trying to research the possibilty of making money through the internet. First things that come to mind are online surveys, reviewing websites etc but am looking for any ideas/expierences people within this form might have. If im looking in the wrong forum then apologies.

    I've googled such possibilities but I got every get rich quick scheme available. Im not looking for any hair brain schemes or whatever, all I am looking for is any suggestions which could involve me working online and making a bit of cash in order to supplement my ever decreasing savings when back at uni. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    Start buying and selling stuff on eBay. People have made careers out of that.

    I've heard something about registering web address and either using them for ad revenue or parking them until an interested party comes along. There was a guardian article on it if you want to search for info, sorry I can't tell you more.

    Good advice...Find a Niche and you'll be on a winner....loads of stuff on ebay but make sure what your selling is exclusive to you...

    Start with a sod of turf that pope john paul walked on while in ireland, make sure you calculate your postage correctly and you'll make some money...

    Where abouts in the world are you living, if its somewhere with a low standard of living then grinding online poker is a easy way to survive, there are tons of terrible players who make a living off it.
