How To Make Money As A Student In South Africa

How to make money as a student in South Africa? In South Africa, there are many ways a student can make money on the Internet without investments and problems for studying, and there are the advantages for a subsequent career. In this article, we talk about how to make money on the Internet for a student without investments or by spending mere pennies.

Traditional employment very often interferes with studies, personal life, exhausts mentally and physically. Of course, if you are not a part-time student. They have it easier because of more free time. Although, of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. So, today we explain how a student can make money on the Internet, what sites to pay attention to and how not to complicate student life, which is already burdened by sessions. Here are some of the ways to make money as a student.

How To Make Money As A Student In South Africa

Proven ways on how to make money as a student in South Africa:

1. Completing Simple Tasks

On the Internet, money is paid for viewing sites, entering captchas, likes, reposts, subscriptions, registrations and other elementary actions. As a student, you can make at least R500 per day. It will only be enough to pay for the Internet, telephone and purchase of stationery. However, this is a good way to pass the time on the way to the university and back, earning a couple of hundred a week along the way.

Some of the tasks you can do include the following:

  • Write short articles
  • Transcribing – translating audio or video recordings into text;
  • Leave comments and feedback;
  • Call clients;
  • Edit photos in Photoshop;
  • Add texts and pictures to the site, product descriptions to bulletin boards and catalogs of online stores;
  • Choose and buy pictures in photobanks.

New types of work can be learned from scratch within 1-3 days. Potential earnings from R1000 – R3000 per month, if you devote at least 4-5 hours a day to the exchange.

2. Work With Text

How can a competent student with a broad outlook make money? To get started, register on popular content exchanges sites. There are customers on these sites who always need new texts.

You can perform the following tasks:

  • Copywriting
  • Rewriting
  • Translation

3. Freelance

Freelancing refers to any remote work for different customers. The method is suitable only for those who are willing to invest a lot of time in training and job search. How can you make money as a freelance student? Let’s see how to make money as a student in South Africa through freelancing.

  • Create websites, develop software and mobile applications, engage in web design, layout, correct technical errors.
  • Help other students.
  • Manage sites and groups in social networks.

At first, you will have to fulfill cheap orders in order to form a portfolio, collect positive reviews and increase your rating on the site. Experienced freelance students earn between R10 000 –  R30 000 per month and in the IT field – R30 000 – R50 000 per month. Later, with this same portfolio, you can get a job in the office, unless, of course, you get tired of plowing through the Internet.

4. Selling Photos On Microstock

Microstocks are platforms where unique images are placed. Photo licenses are bought by web designers, site managers, journalists, book authors, and others who don’t want to steal images from Google and infringe copyright. Microstock takes most of the profit for itself, and transfers 30-40% (10-40 cents) to the photographer for each image sold.

The advantages are that you upload a photo to the site once, and it brings money all the time. Yes, and on the largest stocks, the dollar is used as the currency. Accordingly, the more downloads and the higher the dollar rate, the greater the income. Just a great way to earn extra money for a student who is fond of photography. So, for this you need:

  • Register on 3-5 sites
  • Define commercial topics
  • Create photos and after processing in Photoshop put them on microstocks
  • Wait for sales

The first 6 months you will earn less than R1500. But with an increase in the number of works in the portfolio and the acquisition of experience, sales will go up sharply.

5. Own Website, Public On A Social Network Or YouTube Channel

An advanced option is to launch your own content project. Cash investments are minimal: buying a domain and hosting to create a website or blog, advertising in other communities for the public.

Just keep in mind that you will have to work for 6-18 months for free, for the future, while doing your best. A promoted public can bring the owner R3000 per month, and a blog, website or YouTube channel – from R10 000.

Conclusion On How To Make Money As A Student In South Africa

In this article, we talked about how to make money as a student on the Internet. But it is not necessary to be limited only to the methods that we have given. For example, people who have successfully mastered copywriting eventually become editors, content managers, SEO optimizers, advertising specialists and earn much more. Students with an entrepreneurial streak can trade Chinese things using the dropshipping system, and talented girls can sell handmade items through social networks. You just need to constantly learn and not succumb to laziness.
