Fun Ways to Make Money While Studying a Nursing Degree

We are all aware that university is exceptionally expensive. Many students look to make extra money while they study, to try and help avoid debt, or just to fund their student lifestyle. However, working while studying can be dangerous. You don’t want to commit to too many hours, or spend time doing something stressful or time consuming which could affect your studies. So why not try and find a fun way to make some extra cash, and relieve some stress at the same time?

Blogging

Blogging can be a great way to make some extra money. It can take some effort to get going, so consider relating your blog to your studies to make it easier. For those studying a healthcare degree, healthcare blogs can be incredibly successful. Consider offering a paid members area to make money, or offer careers advice to fellow students and professionals. Talk about the difference between nurse practitioner and doctor, advise people on what might be best for them, and even have some fun with the nurse vs doctor theme. Other ways to make money from a blog include advertising and affiliate marketing.

Reviewing Music

There are many sites which offer you money to review music and share your opinions. While it won’t make you a fortune, it’s an easy way to make some extra money, and get to hear some new music before anyone else. 

Market Research

Becoming a secret shopper can be really good fun. You’ll get to try new products, restaurants, bars and shops, sometimes with friends. You won’t earn a lot, but you normally get reimbursed for what you spend, so you could save a lot on shopping and meals out.

Product Testing

As with secret shopping, many companies pay people to test and review new products. You often get to keep the products too.

Be a Hangover Buddy

There is nothing worse than being hungover, and having to get up and do things. Hangover buddies are paid to make the experience more manageable. You’ll go around in the morning, get the client up, fetch them breakfast, and generally help and motivate them in any way they need. It’s an easy way to make money, meet new people, and feel better about yourself.

Tour Guide

If you live in a larger city, or particular tourist hotspot, find work, either for a company, or freelancing, as a tour guide. Research some routes and find places of interest. You’ll need to really know your stuff, so if you don’t already, get learning about your town. Consider asking others where they would take people to get some ideas. Points of historical interest are always popular.

Answer Questions

If you have an extensive general knowledge, this could be the one for you. You’ll get paid to answer questions via chat, text or email. There are a few companies that offer this service, and pay about 15cents per question answered.

These are just a few of the options available to you. Try a few and see which you enjoy, who knows, it might even turn into a lucrative career one day.
