    Default OT: Making extra cash

    I need to figure out a way to make some extra money on the side. I'm a full time college student living in the dorms, and there happens to be absolutely zero jobs on or around campus that haven't already been filled.

    I got by before while I was between jobs by selling some old guitar stuff on craigslist, but I'm 250 miles from my house, so I really have nothing to sell.

    I'm looking for legimate, fairly simple ways to make money. I don't need "livable" income, if I could make an extra $5 or $10 every now and then, I'd be in much better shape than I am now.

    I thought about writing from blogs or doing some kind of freelance writing, but I don't know.

    Any suggestions?!?

    Already went the phone sex route. It was too awkward when people I knew (ie: friends, family members, teachers, etc) called in.

    Definitely not enough space in my room to throw anything close to a party. At least I know I would have a guaranteed gig dj-ing. lol

    Talk to all the party people you know and tell them you'll DJ parties. Have them tell their friends too.

    I figured that midnight call was implied and went without saying... :eek:

    Lol I don't know. I like to think that I'm a fairly good writer, which is why I thought about taking up that freelance option. But I'm not sure.

    i'm in the same position. look for call centers in your area. thats really easy work. the ones i used to work at let me do my homework there.

    deal drugs.

    on campus job? i tried that but the pay was way too low and so were the hours.
    club/bar photography? my g/f does this and gets paid a buttload and gets free drinks

    What are you studying? Is there any way of transferring those skills?

    Definitely the right market to be dealing drugs, its a shame I don't have the money to make the initial investment. lol.

    There really aren't any jobs left on campus that I'm aware of, I worked at the college I went to previously, and the work was super easy, but the hours weren't so hot. I think I typically worked less than 10 hours a week.

    I'm still undecided. I took a lot of English courses in the past and I've always been good at writing when I want to (modesty aside) so I've been trying to see if there's something I can do with that.
