There are many ways to earn online & make a lifetime earning path.
My suggestion is not to think about instant earning, if you are a college student & going to start your career, then first find a way to earn legally & could be your career for a long time.
Please follow these steps:
Learn a demanding skill
Focus on that skill & be master that one
Start learning about freelancing and ways to earn
Sign up on these freelance sites & start bidding as per the skill you are learning
You can find many small projects & these projects could be your portfolio for these sites
Deliver best services & you can feel that the earning is Increasing by multiple ways.
You can also start blogging & youtube, these best sources for online earning.
Good post. I certainly appreciate this website. Continue the good work!
