As a student, there are so many online ways by which you can earn 1000 Rs to 2000 Rs per day easily by sitting in your home. But to earn money online you need to have any particular skill, by using that skill you can make money online.

But to earn money online you should have a laptop or computer and internet connection. Even if you have the internet on your mobile, it will be enough, you can connect it through a hotspot. 

Here is the list of my top 15 ways to earn money online for students.

Here I am not talking about any online survey (or) captcha entry (or) data entry jobs.

1. Blogging: by Displaying Ads (Google Adsense)

When it comes to making money, online blogging is one of the best ways to earn a good income every month. You can earn easily 10000 Rs – 2000 Rs per day through blogging. But you need skill and patience. 

Everyone can’t become a successful blogger, there are so many bloggers who are struggling to make even 1 USD Per day and at the same time, some bloggers are making more than 100 USD per day.

To become a successful blogger choose one topic in which you have knowledge or passion, and start writing about that topic regularly on your blog. 

What do You Need:

1. Domain (Website name) : 500 – 800 Rs per year (Buy from Godaddy, Google Domains, Namecheap)
2. Web Hosting: 15000 -2000 Rs per year. (Bluehost or Hostgator are best for new blogs)
3. Laptop.
4. Internet.

So in less than 2500 Rs to 3000 Rs per year you can start blogging, and every year you need to renew them. After purchasing the hosting you can create your blog (website) by using WordPress for free of cost. There are so many tutorials available on Youtube, just follow them and create your own blog.

You can even start a free blog using the Blogger platform which doesn’t charge for hosting, but I don’t recommend you to do that. In Blogger you will not have full control, whereas WordPress makes it easy to customize your blog and you will have full control.

Once you create your blog, start writing about one particular topic regularly and focus on solving the problems around that topic that most people are facing. 

After writing 15-20 posts apply for the Google Adsense program to show ads in your blog. If your blog has good and original content then you will easily get Adsense approval. Once Adsense starts showing ads on your blog then you start earning money.

To earn 1000 Rs to 2000 Rs a minimum of 7000 to 15000 visitors have to visit your blog every day.

2. Youtube (By Showing Ads & Sponsored Ads)

Youtube is another best platform to make money online. Share your knowledge-making videos about any one topic at which you are good. If you don’t have any knowledge then try to entertain the people with your skills either through skits or vlogs or any other talent which you have.

Email ID is enough to create your Youtube channel, and once your channel gets 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in a year then you will become eligible to show Adsense ads on your videos.

For every 1000 views from India, you can earn 0.10 USD to 1 USD, depending on the topic and length of the video.

You can record and edit your video even on your mobile also. Nowadays every student has a smartphone, so it is not that difficult to start a youtube channel.
