Paying For College – How To Pay Money For College Without Creating Debt!
February 7th, 2010 | by admin |
If you are anything like me, you are tired of all the “experts” telling you how to pay money for college:
Take out a loan Apply for this scholarship Fill out the FAFSA Get this grant
While I am not against getting scholarships (I have quite a few), taking out loans bites. Why go into debt when we are trying to learn something to that’s supposed to make us rich? Usually after applying for scholarships, filling out the FAFSA, and taking out loans, ends still don’t meet.
The extra money has to come from somewhere. But my parents were not able to pay the bill. So before going to the street and shaking my beggar’s cup, I tried a few things…
I worked at part-time jobs. I even have a full-time job now (CoOperative education, working in a field related to my major), alternating between work and school every other semester for three semesters. This is an option, and the extra money has helped me, but it has also delayed my graduation.
Even all this money did not satisfy my needs. I’m still going to need a house after college, right? I’d like a big-screen television, and a new entertainment system would be nice too. Where is that money going to come from? How can you pay money for college now?
So I searched on Google. I know you’ve been there… searching anyway that you can on how to earn a spare buck. Well, I believe I have found the solution.
It’s called Internet Marketing. There are websites that create their own products and allow other people to sell their products for a portion of the profits. You signup, you get a website link to drive customers to, then you get them buy from that site. If they do, you get a share of the profits. But driving people to this website can be very difficult. Google Adwords can be used to advertise your site… but it is high-risk until you have the essentials down. You can try to place high in the regular Google search rankings, but that is very difficult as well.
This is where Wealthy Affiliate comes into play. Kyle and Carson, the owners of Wealthy Affiliate, actually started off as college students like us! Now they are 26-year-old self-made millionaires. And they are teaching us how to do it. I don’t worry about money anymore – I know the skills I am learning here have the potential to earn more than my college degree will make me!
So, while my recommendations go to Wealthy Affiliate, it does take a while to get down Internet Marketing basics.
