Write and publish a Kindle eBook If students are good at anything, it's researching and writing. With the  Amazon Kindle store ,  anyone  can publish an eBook and make money. And the Kindle app is now available on almost any device (laptops, iPads, smartphones and yes, Kindles) so your global market is huge! List your book for £1.49 – £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal. The key to success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Simply bundling information you have researched and complied on a common problem (eg. ‘secrets' to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook) justifies someone spending a few quid on it. Another big tip is to have a great cover designed ( browse these ) so it stands out, and once your book is live on the Kindle store it's really important to get some reviews so it sho...

Online Trading

Online market trading Please be aware that CFDs are a leveraged product and can result in the loss of your entire capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading CFDs may not be suitable for you. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved. The historically hard-to-break world of investing in stock markets and currencies has been cracked wide open. Today there is no need to be a fat cat or fund the yachts of  Wolf of Wall Street  style stock brokers. You can do it all yourself with the help of online market trading platforms. Having spent many hours researching this new opportunity, I've been experimenting with the two biggest platforms:  Plus500  and  eToro.com . Both offer free practice accounts. Overall I prefer  eToro  with over 4.5 million users worldwide. It was recently featured in the  BBC 2  documentary “Traders: Millions by the Minute” and the  Financial Times . One of t...

Make money by Domain flipping

Buy and sell domain names A domain name is just a website address (eg. ‘savethestudent.org' or ‘mysite.co.uk') and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc). They cost as little as £1.99 to register with  123-reg.co.uk  or  GoDaddy.com  yet premium domain names can fetch £1,000s if not millions when sold on. In 2007 VacationRentals.com went for a cool $35m! Now you're probably not going to come across anything like that, but you can still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like  Sedo.com .
